Synergy

Film about IronCAD Synergy

Here you can watch a 30-minute presentation on how IronCAD Synergy works and how it can help you in your work to speed up collaboration between customers and colleagues.

Platform for cooperation

In terms of collaboration and file management, IronCAD SYNERGY was made to improve the way we work and design. IronCAD 's powerful new collaboration platform creates a synergy between how seamless it is to manage, view and share all your files across your organisation as well as to external customers and sales teams, all in one place.

Synergy
Synergy

Secure and cloud-based data repository

Users can manage, create audits, view IronCAD files, and manage other file types within a secure cloud-based vault with up to 10 GB of free data storage per company. Add additional users and data as your needs grow. Control access and manage projects in a single collaboration platform.

Configure over the cloud

Configure over the cloud to communicate between sales teams, customers and suppliers to configure products and communicate design concepts and changes. Seamlessly share configurations with the design team to make changes and to seamlessly convert data to production.

Powerful import/export 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 machine design 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 supported importing IFC through TRANSLATOR, but now there is also an export option to the IFC format. Now with the new Architectural Translator , it is possible to both open 3D files from and save files to the Revit format. This makes it easier to e.g. place 3D models created in IRONCAD in houses with Revit.

Architectural Translator is installed with the complete installation file for IronCAD DCS. It uses its own license file. Contact Solidmakarna for the current price.

How IronCAD DCS works with KeyShot

keyshot ironcad

Step 1: Transfer to KeyShot

When your model is fully constructed and ready for rendering, 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.

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

Step 5: See the 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.

Complete installation of MultiPhysics for IRONCAD

When you install IronCAD DCS, a complete installation of MultiPhysic for IRONCAD is included. You can try the program for 30 days after you start it for the first time. All modules work without restrictions.

After 30 days you can still use the program but with the limitation of max 2000 nodes, which is very little. The idea is that you can still run the program and see how the interface etc. looks and works.

There are different modules and licenses for MultiPhysic for IRONCAD.The module most people use is called "MultiPhysic for IRONCAD Basic". It solves the need to analyze:

  • Voltage, min result at certain load
  • Deformation, results also shown with animation as option
  • Assemblies can be managed. These are handled as "glued together" in Mesh which is often fine.
  • Surfaces can be divided so that force only acts on part of a surface
  • Analysis of natural frequency (Modal) can also be performed.
  • An editable material library is included.
  • Reporting tools are included.
  • Really powerful tools for creating Mesh included
