Powerful import filter

This powerful import files for IronCAD DCS increases your potential for collaboration between the most common CAD platforms. An Imported file can be modified directly without the need for history. IronCAD DCS works with BOTH ACIS and Parasolid solid kernel for best results when importing and modifying. COMPOSE and Configurator use the same powerful import filters but with a few differences.

Most IRONCAD users create products related to mechanical engineering or product development. But there are also users who have discovered the benefits of IRONCAD's flexibility and speed in interior design and house construction. Therefore, there is a need to communicate between IRONCAD and programs that can handle the IFC format. IFC can be said to be STEP in the construction sector, a neutral format for 3D models that many programs in construction can handle.

IRONCAD has also previously had support for importing IFC through TRANSLATOR, but now there is also an export option to the IFC format.In construction and architecture, a program called Revit is sometimes used. Now with the new Architectual Translator there are opportunities to both open 3D files from and save files to the Revit format. It facilitates, for example, placing 3D models created in IRONCAD in houses with Revit.

Architectual Translator is installed with Service Pack 1 for IronCAD DCS 2024. It uses its own license file. Please contact Solidmakarna for current price.

IC Mechanical

An invaluable tool in IRONCAD

A really powerful and efficiency-enhancing package with many features!

  • Screws, bolts, beams, profiles, locking rings, springs, etc.
  • Sprockets, Springs, ProActiveManager BOM tools.
  • 2D drawing header editor, create unique QR codes for 2D drawings.
  • Lots of additional features that are incredibly effective.

Solidmakarna has for over 15 years been deeply involved in the development of IC Mechanical (formerly IronPRO XT) and therefore many standard components follow Swedish standards. The tools are created and adapted entirely to customer requirements.

How IronCAD DCS works with KeyShot

keyshot ironcad

Step 1: Transfer to KeyShot

Once your model is constructed and ready for rendering, you can send your model via the Add-Ins toolbar in IronCAD DCS to KeyShot.

keyshot stand-alone

Step 2: The model is opened in KeyShot

KeyShot will now start and your model is ready to be rendered. If you want to make any changes to your model, just switch back to IronCAD DCS and press Update to KeyShot.

sitski ironcad

Step 3: Colour your model

Drag-and-drop any of the 700+ preset materials onto your model. The real-time view now instantly shows how the applied material reflects the scene's light and the material's properties.

keyshot ironcad  sitski

Step 4: Light and background

Choose a surrounding environment (HDRI). As soon as you drag and drop the lighting environment to your scene, you will notice the effect of the real lighting and how it captures the colours and finishes of your models.

Step 5: See the amazing result

The image is now rendered in front of your eyes. From start to finish, a simple 5-step process to create incredible images quickly and easily, all in real time.

Model: SitSki developed by Länna Svets & Mekaniska AB in IRONCAD for Vatten o Snöprodukter AB
Rendering: Solidmakarna AB

Productive tools for steel beams and profiles

IC Mechanical has a range of simple and powerful tools for designing with steel beams.

A large library of standard dimensions is included. Create your own profiles if desired.

Drag & Drop beams and trim them against each other with one click. Copy or move in seconds with the TriBall tool.

Large library with fasteners

IC Mechanical includes a large library of customizable fasteners and advanced tools for handling them. For example, to create holes through multiple parts simultaneously for bolted joints.

Names according to the Swedish standard are automatically created and transferred to the parts list in the 2D drawing. These can of course also be adapted to your company's specific numbering system and designations.

Totalling the total number of components in a machine, sorted by dimension or any other way, is done at the touch of a button.

Intelligent pipe drawing tools

"Piping"

IC Mechanical contains a large set of tools for creating 3D pipe drawings. A customizable library of both pipes and different flange types is included.
