Data Prep Features Include:

Automation

Data Prep extends 3D InterOp and makes it easier for developers to generate optimal 3D data automatically.

Easy Integration

Use 3D InterOp Pre-Built Options to Prepare Data with minimal application and user input.

Remove Features

Enable your users to simplify 3D geometry representations during 3D import. Automatically remove intricate geometric details like holes and fillets by specifying a size threshold.

Filtering Body by Size

Enable your customers to achieve data size reduction of their assets by automatically removing all objects under a size threshold during 3D Import. 

Instancing

Enable your users to automate import activities with instancing. Identify identical shapes within 3D data and remove associated geometric data, streamlining product structures.

How Data Prep Impacts Your Industrial Workflow

Data Prep can simplify and optimize 3D content for faster and easier engineering and collaboration workflows for a broad spectrum of industries, each with unique challenges and requirements.

From CAD Design to Simulation, Made Easy

Data Prep Automatic Feature Removal reduces the bottleneck of simulation preparation, numerical discretization of models, and subsequent computations.
For
instance, with the simplified representations obtained, 
robotics experts can optimize virtual robotic simulation and programming.

Example: Simplification By Removing Detailed Features

CAE simulation experts can iterate faster in evaluating design variants.

Deal With Complex Parts and Assemblies

Instancing is impossible to accomplish on complex parts and assemblies manually
Models optimized with “Data Prep Instancing” will reveal object reuse with better semantics and streamline collaboration.
For 
instance, production operators, costing analysts, and procurement services will leverage
the improved semantics to generate an accurate “bill of materials” of the components to be manufactured, procured, or assembled.

Simplify Your CAD Models for Visualization

Filtering Body by Size empowers your application users to generate 3D CAD or 3D Visualization models by removing unnecessary details.
This reduces model size and subsequent resources to reuse them in collaboration workflows.
Simplified models can be shared with peers for review processes or integrated as digital proxies in
virtual environments.
This enables models to be lighter, smaller, and faster to reuse.
This functionality lets you quickly render the models in
web viewers or any visualization application.

Example: Simplification of Equipment by Removing Small Bodies

Automation makes it easy to compress data efficiently.
