Anark Core Server

Quickly and easily convert 3D product design data for use throughout design, engineering, and support organizations.

Automate CAD File Conversion with Anark Core Server

Anark Core Server is a scalable server system for high-volume and repeated CAD conversion requirements and is an ideal solution for automatically generating up-to-date solid or mesh geometry for each use-case in the supply chain. Recipes created with Anark Core Workstation can be executed manually or scheduled as jobs for Anark Core Server.

Integrate Anark Core Within the Enterprise

For the ultimate automation solution, PDM or ECM systems can send SOAP requests over HTTP or HTTPS protocols to Anark Core Server to trigger transformation recipes whenever a part or product is changed or updated.

Anark Core Server runs on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with SQL Server (Enterprise Edition). Anark Core Server intelligently distributes transformation jobs across a cluster of server boxes, and across multiple CPU cores, yielding true symmetric multiprocessing.
