The new software version 6.0 is available immediately. It excels through numerous new functionalities and enhancements.

User Interface

• Ergonomical design simplifies the daily work
• Easier access to element properties
• New selection methods for 3D data
• Extended toolbar functionalities

CAD Import

ATOS and TRITOP can now also import CATIA v5 data. With CATIA 4 and 5, VDA, IGES, STEP, STL as well as optionally UG and Pro-E, the common CAD data formats are directly available.

Automation

By extending the macro language to a script language, loops and conditions are possible as well.

ATOS (3D Digitizer)

• Polygon mesh computation optimized and faster
• Improved measuring of sheet metal hole patterns and trimming
• Extended possibilities for quality assurance
• Easier inspection sections
• Optimized result visualization and report generation
• Viewer available under Windows for ATOS .session data

TRITOP (3D Coordinate Measuring Machine)

• New inspection elements available
• Enhanced transformation and registration

ARAMIS (Optical Strain Analysis)

• Result computation parallel to image recording
• Optimized computation algorithms (faster and higher accuracy)
• New facet definition along the specimen border
• Integrated computation of Forming Limit Curves

PONTOS (Dynamic 3D Analysis)

• Optimized recording mode for high-speed cameras
• Extended report functionalities
• New diagram representation

ARGUS (Forming Analysis of Sheet Metal Components)

• WLAN system solution (wireless)
• Mobile analysis even of large and complex sheet metal parts
• Optimized measuring of different conditions (e.g. before and after deformation)

You may open a complete overview of the new features from the Help menu of the software. In the customer area, demo macros are available to learn the new functionalities.
