ICEM Shape Design Software Suite Overview

ICEM Shape Design software suite offers highly intuitive tools to easily create, validate and modify any type of surfaces, defining freeform and design shapes.

Mechanical designers, shape designers and stylists alike, will find within the ICEM Shape Design software suite of products a comprehensive set of functionalities to support their surface modelling, editing and validation processes accompanied by our high quality rendering tools to bring their virtual creation to reality.

ICEM Shape Design software suite will allows you to:


Master complex shapes.

ICEM Shape Design software suite provides an integrated competitive environment to handle free form, aesthetic, and design surfaces whatever your industry sector and your skill.

This unmatched surfacing modelling tool provides solutions ranging
from general surfacing to specialised requirements.
For example :

  • Exterior skin of an airplane: Lofting
  • Complex tyre Sculptures
  • Consumer goods
  • Automotive components: Styled surfaces, Body in White, Interior and
    Exterior Trim, etc.
 

In an accessible intelligent way.
  • High productivity, efficiency
  • Meeting precise constraints and environments
  • Accessible to non expert users
  • Integrating and capitalizing on knowledge re-use

By allowing the most flexible modification schemes

  • Specification driven wireframe and surface generation
  • Feature based definition of freeform surfaces
  • Hybrid modelling environment between explicit and feature-based surfaces
  • Feature-based approximation to control quality of results 

 



ICEM’s CAA V5-based software suite, ICEM Shape Design, encompasses a broad range of integrated shape generation, visualisation and modelling tools.

The ICEM Shape Design software suite is comprised of 3 main configurations providing prerequisite bases for a wide range of optional, add-on modules to address advanced surface modelling, reverse engineering and data manipulation, analysis and design visualisation requirements.

These optional, add-on software modules to ICEM Shape Design suite include:
  • Expert - for global surface model manipulation
  • Theme - for preparing 3D wire-frame and surface models from stylists’ 2D sketches
  • Form - an intuitive polygon modelling tool for quickly creating, editing or enhancing shape and form from a concept or an existing physical model
  • Scan - for handling, trimming, filtering and diagnosing imported 3D scan data
  • Quick Surfacer - for the semi-automatic generation of a surface model from imported 3D scan data
  • Renderer - for generating high quality rendered and ray-traced photo-realistic images and movies of a digital mock-up
  • Realtime Renderer - for the creation of dynamic, photo-realistic images and animations in real time
 CATIA V5 integration.

The ICEM Shape Design software suite is offered as fully integrated component of the Dassault V5 PLM environment based on Dassault Systèmes V5 CAA architecture. As a a result, a seamless workflow of design data is created from initial surface model to final design approval, whilst allowing visibility to all associated manufacturing functions.


Standalone.

Additionally, ICEM Shape Design comprehensively addresses the needs of those customers who require a standalone solution outside of a PLM environment for shape and surface design development.
