Why should I manage my CAD calculations?

By using an engineering calculation program, users are able to:

• Predict design behaviour
• Drive key parameters and dimensions
• Manage calculations for a specific design

Through a calculation program, users can effectively predict the result of a change in a design. By changing a single parameter at one point, users can easily see the result of that change and the effect it has on the design. This means that users can analyse and select the best configuration for their design.

After analysing the design, users are able to push the results into a CAD package and drive parameters as well as dimensions. This provides a method for users to calculate and select the appropriate design, then apply these changes instantly in a CAD package without having to manually change the parameters.

Finally, as a part of every company's intellectual property (IP) management, using an engineering calculation program means that all IP is documented and established, without the hassle of having to 're-work' the calculations in a documenting program like Microsoft Word.
