REVISION

The ordinary way to handle revised models works okay.
This way works perfect.

Engineering Change Report Software

CAD-neutral, standalone, universal

Revision can compare any parts or assemblies to identify differences at the feature / GD&T level. Plus, create detailed reports with just a click.

For pros who regularly encounter models authored in different CAD platforms, Revision gives you bullet-proof confirmation of exactly what's been revised.

Translated files

The internal comparison function in major CAD platforms is designed to examine native files. In a multi-CAD workflow, that only goes so far. Revision covers it all.

Busy engineers

Revision provides expert analysis of models and assemblies that a non-expert can easily generate. Get answers about changes before your engineering staff even starts asking questions.

"Oh s***!"

Especially in advanced manufacturing settings, errors are costly. Single-digit percent chance errors can become five-figure mistakes (or more!). Be 100% sure.

Communication breakdown

You know those projects where getting the specific info you need isn't exactly smooth? Here's a simple step that captures details that aren't always made clear.

Make sure you know all changes to the model — and model data

You specify the tolerance, then Revision will clearly highlight any and all differences between models. Those times when the client tells you about the big change but doesn't mention one extra little detail? You catch those.

Revision uses a proprietary geometric pattern matching built on our own 3D Framework modeling kernel. It checks the whole part definition, not just a feature tree or sampling of points. It also performs a full semantic check of 3D GD&T definitions to catch changes in PMI or MBD data.

Handle models from any source

The advanced translator technology that Revision is built on can read files from all major CAD databases, standards, and modeling kernels. When you receive models or assemblies authored in different format than your shop's CAD, your built-in comparison tool is going to be working at a disadvantage.

Revision's fully multi-threaded core enables it to make fast work of comparing complex assemblies. It also provides an intuitive method to review components individually – down to the individual face – to examine and report on changes in exacting detail.

Revision software's report creation interface

Anyone can quickly & easily create a change report

When your technical staff's time is in high demand, Revision helps keep project details clear by not requiring highly-trained users or occupying a CAD workstation.

With one click, you can generate a detailed report that provides an individual page for each difference found. It's also simple to combine multiple differences into a single report page if the differences relate to a repeated feature.

Revision combines the precision of CAD with the simplicity of arranging a presentation.

Custom 3D views

Within Revision, users have complete 3D control of how the differences between the models or assemblies are displayed. Make perfectly clear the exact location and nature of the differences found, with options for detail insets when referencing a complex object.

Rotate, zoom, switch to wireframe view: whatever it takes to best communicate details of the changes.

You can add annotations, plus customize the report template to include your logo, contact info, or whatever other details support your process.
