KollabNet Debuts SolidMap at SolidWorks World 2007

At SolidWorks World 2007 (2/4-7, New Orleans, LA). KollabNet, Inc. is debuting its new productivity tool called SolidMap which enables SolidWorks users to visualize relationships that exist in part and assembly files on a highly intuitive graphical map.

Visualization of the feature, part, and file interdependencies dramatically reduces the time required to understand how a model is built which, in turn, enables users to much more efficiently edit models and completely eliminates the need for users to rebuild models prior to being able to edit them.

SolidMap represents significant value to both the organization as well as the individual user. 

 

1. At the organizational level, SolidMap provides:

·         Overall productivity improvement through more efficient visualization of the complex relationships that exist within a SolidWorks file.

·         Increased collaboration among SolidWorks users by enabling users to more easily understand how a model was built.

 

2. For individuals, SolidMap enables users to:

·         Understand models in significantly less time in order to complete necessary edits

·         More efficiently pinpoint and fix rebuild errors

·         More easily share models with colleagues

 

These benefits are realized due to the unique way that SolidMap reads and displays relationships between SolidWorks files, assembly components, and part features.  SolidMap reads and displays the following four types of relationships:

 

1. SolidWorks files that reference each other

 

2. Assembly components (mate relationships)

SolidMap enables users to view mates between components in an assembly through a unique block diagram. 

 

3. Part features (Parent/Child relationships)

SolidMap enables users to view existing parent/child relationships that exist within SolidWorks part and assembly files in the context of a block diagram.

 

4. Feature detail dependencies

SolidMap enables users to understand existing dependencies between features and/or sketches within a part through a unique block diagram.

 

During SolidWorks World 2007, KollabNet will be located in Booth 822 of the main Exhibit Hall. Demonstrations of the software will be given at the booth, showing its capabilities.
