San
Diego, California (for release May 19, 2008)nPower Software, a
division of IntegrityWare, Inc, announced today the 5.0 release of its
popular Power NURBS, Power Solids, and Power Translators products (with
support for 3ds Max 2009 and 3ds Design 2009, including 64 bit support). nPower
Software's popular Power NURBS, Power Translators, and Power Solids
products received a turbo charged performance boost with the version
5.0 release. This
5.0 version dramatically improves productivity and design throughput by
significantly optimizing the most common operations used in virtually
all of the commands. Power Translators, Power NURBS and Power Solids
5.0 now also take advantage of modern multi-processor architectures
with multi-threaded tessellation. Version 5.0 also supports much larger
models (especially for importing) due to a reduced memory footprint.
With version 5.0, you can work on larger models, get the job finished
significantly faster, with fewer obstacles, and have more fun doing it.

|
| Power NURBS / Power Translators / Power Solids 5.0 introduces the following new features: |
|
|
|
3ds Max 2009 and 3ds Design 2009 Support, (including 64 Bit processing) |
|
Major Performance Improvements |
| |
Version
5.0 contains significant performance improvements for the most common
operations. Interactive editing performance is greatly improved, as
well as rendering performance and mesh generation. In addition, version
5.0 takes advantage of modern multi-processor architectures by
supporting multi-threading of highly compute intensive operations. So
customers with multi-core machines will see huge performance
improvements. |
|
Improved Filleting |
| |
Version
5.0 includes enhanced filleting support with D2 and D3 fillet corners,
and handling of many difficult fillet cases that previously were
impossible. |
|
Improved Sewing UI |
| |
The
Power Join tool now allows the user to specify whether he/she is
working with a solid or surface. In addition, Power Join now shows
information about the number of open edges, volumes, faces, vertices,
etc. This valuable feedback can assist the user in determining if the
object has been successfully sewn into a solid, and give hints as to
what further sewing actions should be performed. |
|
Improved Navigator Interface |
| |
The
Power Navigator tool allows users to examine the construction history
of nPower models, and provides easy access to navigate and modify the
design. Version 5.0 further facilitates the modification of complex
designs by highlighting the nested design objects for simplified
selection within the Power Navigator tool. Design revisions propagate
automatically and rapidly through the model hierarchy with nPower
tools. |
|
64 bit support for native translators |
| |
Version
5.0 now supports 64 bit processing for all native translators products
(Power CatiaToMax, Power UGStoMax, Power ProEtoMax). |
|
Handles Larger Models |
| |
Version 5.0 significantly reduces the memory footprint, and allows for the creation and importing of much larger models. |
|
Improved quality |
| |
Version 5.0 fixes several important bugs, and includes important new protections to prevent problems. |

Power
NURBS, Power Translators, and Power Solids are based on IntegrityWares
SOLIDS ++ Kernel, a unique and powerful hybrid modeling system that
supports Solids, Surface and Polygonal modeling. nPower modeling tools
(Power NURBS, Solids, Translators) bring the highest order of
surfacing, solids modeling, analysis, and tessellation technologies to
the popular Autodesk 3ds max and Viz 3D design products. Power
NURBS provides advanced Solids Modeling tools like Booleans, shelling
and variable radius filleting that are normally found only in high end
CAD systems; it also provides advanced Surface Modeling tools like high
continuity blending, multi-rail sweeps, and high continuity class-A
surfaces which meet the exacting standards of the automotive and
aerospace industries. Power Solids is a subset of Power NURBS which
contains the advanced Solids Modeling features. Intelligent Power NURBS
and Solids Objects retain their parameters and update automatically
through design revisions. And unique advanced tangency controls allow
users to have interactive feedback and greater control over surface
properties. |
| |
Power
NURBS, Solids and Translators also enable designers from all markets to
create or import solid objects that can be quickly turned into accurate
physical objects using modern prototyping techniques (like stereo
lithography). |

According to Gary Crocker, President of IntegrityWare, Inc., "This
release represents a substantial investment by our company to provide
our 3ds Max customers huge productivity gains. Customers with single
core machines should see around a 3X performance improvement in most
interactive operations as well as rendering and adjustment of
tessellation settings. Customers with dual core processors should see
a 5X improvement in mesh generation operations. Customers with
quad-core processors can see up to a 10X performance in things like
rendering and importing. Our Power Translators customers with very
large models should see the most productivity improvements as well as
being able to import and effectively work with much larger models." |

Engineers,
designers, architects, and artists from top companies around the world
like Toyota, Boeing, Microsoft, Disney, SEGA, Blizzard Entertainment,
Northrup Grumman, Sony, Honda, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Whirlpool, Blur
Studio, Fisher Price, Gensler, Fox Sports, Caterpillar, Johnson &
Johnson, Philips, BAE Systems, SolidWorks, Skidmore Owings &
Merrill, HDR, Hewlett Packard and Cannon Equipment are optimizing their
design throughput with nPower Software. |
