Latest releases of the 2D D-Cubed components

January 2012 - Siemens PLM Software announces the immediate availability of Version 60.0 of the 2D D-Cubed™ software components.

2D DCM developments include a generalized equal distance constraint and additional functionality for applications that implement conics. PGM developments include new support for conics in operations such as offsetting and further improvements to capping offset profiles.

About PLM Components: D-Cubed 2D DCM and PGM

PLM Components are software tools that support innovation and promote interoperability in CAD, CAM, CAE and PLM applications. Siemens PLM Software develops these components, uses them throughout its own applications and licenses them to independent software vendors and end-user organizations. PLM Components include the 2D D-Cubed components, widely used technologies that control parametric sketches and profiles in 2D and 3D design environments.

Latest releases of the 3D D-Cubed components

October 2011 - Siemens PLM Software announces the immediate availability of Version 44.0 of the 3D D-Cubed™ software components.

A highlight of this release is the addition of the spin surface type to the 3D DCM. A spin surface is generated by rotating a planar parametric curve about a spin axis. The support for this new geometry type further enhances the already sophisticated assembly and direct modeling capabilities of the 3D DCM.

Building on previous releases, there are further extensions to support for multi-processors to improve performance. We are announcing a new range of multi-processor enhancements in the CDM, and an extension to the enhancements made in the previous release of the HLM.
