Anark Core^TM Workstation is a powerful, easy-to-use authoring tool that allows users to cost-effectively produce transformed, use-appropriate CAD geometry for supply chain and support applications throughout the enterprise. Serving as the foundation of the Anark Core Platform, Core Workstation provides users the ability to import CAD data, identify parts, instances, assemblies, and geometry features, and then modify or remove them as necessary. Core Workstation supports common proprietary and open-standard CAD geometry formats for engineering, as well as lightweight geometry formats for downstream visual and 3D publishing applications.

Unlike conventional CAD authoring tools and translation products, Core Workstation's advanced automation system empowers users with a highly efficient, easily repeatable process for transforming and delivering optimized, IP-protected CAD geometry.

 
Note: Anark Core Workstation is designed to work as a stand-alone product or work with Anark Core Server.

Key Capabilities:

• Easily import CAD data from industry-leading proprietary and exchange formats into the Anark Core Workstation authoring environment
• Simplify CAD geometry by easily removing unnecessary parts and geometry features, such as holes and fillets, from individual components and/or complete assemblies
• Perform advanced tessellation operations to produce varying resolutions of triangle meshes as needed
• Create automation "recipes,"( i.e. intelligent descriptions of geometry transformation operations) that allow the CAD geometry processing to be performed repeatedly-even if the source CAD geometry changes over time
• Export CAD geometry in an assortment of industry-leading proprietary and exchange formats as either high-precision B-reps or light-weight mesh data
• Define and schedule automation jobs with an easy-to-use calendar interface (requires Anark Core Server)
• Save automation schedules to a shared schedule database (requires Anark Core Server)
