Comprehensive Functionality
A complete suite of geometry objects coupled with extensive dimensional and logical constraints enable the definition and modification of 2D profiles and relative positioning of 3D assemblies.
CDS
Geometric Constraint Solver for 2D and 3D Models
Constraint Design Solver (CDS) is a geometric constraint solver SDK that enables optimal part and assembly design. Leverage CDS to recalculate sketches and positions of components in an assembly, ensuring all design elements conform to specified constraints.
Facilitate Optimal Part and Assembly Design Performance
Unlock the full potential of part and assembly design with Constraint Design Solver (CDS). This advanced SDK allows for recalculating sketches and component positions in 2D and 3D models, ensuring all design elements adhere to specified constraints. Perfect for applications requiring precise real-world simulation behaviour, CDS supports a wide range of constraints and offers high-performance solvers to handle even the most complex geometric relationships. Boost productivity, reduce time to market and enhance design accuracy with CDS.
Key Features of Constraint Design Solver

Geometry Objects
CDS offers diverse geometries for constraint systems, supporting both 2D and 3D representations. These include points, lines, non-uniform rational B-spline curves and surfaces, circles, ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, cylinders, cones, spheres and tori.

Geometric Constraints
Assign specific values through various dimensional constraints, including coordinates, distances, lengths, radii, angles, and curvature. Establish relationships between geometric objects with logical constraints such as coincidence, tangency, parallelism, perpendicularity, and symmetry.

Advanced Constraints
CDS enables advanced constraints in your applications, including user-defined expressions and conditions, rigid sets, patterns, joints, and local control of chirality. Achieve any number of degrees of freedom for geometries, facilitating inverse kinematics with planar, revolute, prismatic, cylindrical, spherical, universal, and full DOF joints.

Real-Time Interaction
CDS enables applications to offer real-time manipulation of geometric objects with fast solvers that support interactive model modifications for constraints. If the system is not solvable, CDS provides comprehensive diagnostic information on conflicting constraints.

Quality Assurance Tools
Replay and scripting features, as well as a graphical display environment, ensure debugging ease and fast implementations. Emphasize accuracy with CDS’ quality assurance tools.

Solver Modes and Options
At the core of CDS lies a non-linear simultaneous equation solver, which offers three different types of solving modes: update mode to automatically position geometries in order to satisfy all the constraints; interactive dragging mode, which moves a set of geometries along their degrees of freedom subspace; and simulation mode, which allows geometries to achieve defined target values while satisfying constraints.
