Significant updates to CCE’s Open Data eXchange (ODX) libraries have been announced, with support for NX 11.0 data. The latest ODX library for NX includes support for convergent bodies introduced in NX 11.0. Convergent Modeling is the technology introduced in NX 11.0 which allows designers to work directly with facets, surfaces and solids all at once, without the need for any data conversion.

This new modeling paradigm has a lot of application in the medical industry, especially when working with scanned data for designing implants.

CCE’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Vinay Wagle said: “Convergent Modeling is a very exciting technology introduced recently by Siemens in its NX 11.0 release. It not only helps working efficiently with scanned data in a designer’s modeling environment, as is seen very commonly in the medical industry for designing cranial or dental implants, but also optimises product design to support 3D printing and additive manufacturing."

Wagle added: “CCE continues its commitment to keep pace with CAD updates and provide its ISV customers the ability to support convergent modeling data in their own application within months of the release of NX 11.0.”

CCE has also improved NX export capabilities in its ODX libraries with the ability to create parts with Parasolid compound bodies in addition to solid and sheet bodies.
