simus classmate now integrates drawing information using artificial intelligence (AI) with 3D models and transports it into all connected CAD, ERP, and PDM systems. The benefits are evident in many areas of the company. At the Hannover Messe, Hall 17, Stand F39, simus systems will present the solution for the first time.

Often, 3D CAD models do not contain all the information about materials, tolerances, fit accuracy, surface quality, thread specifications, and other annotations required for manufacturing a component. This is because these Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) are not always maintained and are not included in all data formats. Many manufacturers therefore use manufacturing drawings as the authoritative source of information for subsequent processes of procurement, production, and quality assurance.

simus classmate 11.8 closes information gaps with AI

With the new version 11.8 of simus classmate, companies can now analyze CAD drawing files and assign them to a CAD model in S3D format to supplement the missing information. The artificial intelligence (AI) recognizes the annotations, dimensions, and data. These are automatically assigned to the respective geometry elements in the 3D model. This significantly improves the continuous digital data foundation for manufacturers.

simus classmate for continuous digitalization

The capabilities of the simus classmate software suite increase in many areas due to AI integration. Designers can now find similar parts even faster and more accurately, benefiting from higher efficiency, smarter digital twins, and greater reuse.
Initiatives for paperless manufacturing are facilitated. Orders for mechanical manufacturing services and post-processing become simpler, faster, and more secure. Quality assurance is supported by intelligent 3D models. The calculation tools of simus classmate work faster and much more accurately as they consider more relevant information in a targeted manner. This benefits purchasers and work planners in companies, as well as suppliers and manufacturing service providers. With the digitalization solutions from simus classmate, all data reliably reaches ERP and PDM systems. The continuous data foundation is expanded and improved.
