Products that benefit from LGS

Any geometry-based application can benefit from using LGS 3D through enhanced functionality. Examples include:

• Assembly design
• Kinematic simulation
• 3D sketching
• Wireframe and surface design
• History-free 3D geometry editing
• Knowledge-based engineering
• FEM (shape optimization)
• CAD data exchange
• Computer graphics

Variational modeling is now standard in most high-end mechanical CAD applications. Through scalable architecture of LGS, variational/parametric techniques can become accessible in a wide range of products, including desktop CAD and modeling tools, architectural software, virtual reality scene and object modeling tools, publishing software and many more. However, strong computational and optimization algorithms used in LGS can be a benefit to high-end CAD and CAM systems as well, providing a strong basis for variational modeling, knowledge-base engineering, constraint-based geometry and mechanical optimizations.
