3-DIMENSIONAL CAD-PRESENTATION - AN EFFEC TIVE AID WHEN PLANNING STOCK PREPARATIONS

Exact planning of installations becomes more trustworthy, reliable and also somewhat cheaper, when hand-made models are no longer used. For some time, therefore, Voith has used three-dimensional CAD (Computer A ided Design) models, which simplify the planning effort in many ways. The main characteristics are the following: All plans and isometrics, including the complete material and component lists, can be automatica lly extracted from the 3D-model; The program carries out collision che cks on its own; Alterations and corrections are automatically made on every part of the plans; The model is planned on the scale 1:1;
