New length parameter for the Line tool and Rounded Polyline tool.New and improved import/export for SVG, PDF 2D, DWG, and DXF formats.This Z-depth channel can now be saved in the Image Browser and used in post-processing tools such as Adobe Photoshop to simulate the natural blurring of foreground and background scene elements when viewed through a camera lens. All images which are rendered inside Evolve now include a Depth Channel (tiff).New Planar Symmetry and Radial Symmetry tools have been added to replace the Mirror and Polar Copy tools.It helps me gain speed not only in bringing design concepts to life, but also in driving fast iteration loops with the development team,' mentioned Jens Andersson Design Lead, Philips.

'Evolve in particular is a powerful software for enabling designs in our fast-paced development environment. Program Manager for Evolve, Darren Chilton noted, 'Our goal for this release was to focus on our customers and improve the usability of the software giving them more freedom than ever before.' The Bolt Pretension tool allows users to achieve more accurate results when bolts are under pretension.Įvolve's hybrid modeling system has been updated with a number of new enhancements and tools primarily based on customer requests.Updated Partition Tools allow users to divide a part into design and non-design regions by selecting a hole, pocket, or face to offset.The Topography Optimization tools can be used to change shapes of shell structures by introducing stamped bead patterns for better structural performance.The new Motion tool allows users to easily mechanize their models and investigate system motion to predict loads for moving parts.My whole team was able to use the program after just a few hours of training and it has led to dramatic time savings in the design process.' 'Never before has it been so easy to mechanize a model or perform a motion analysis.'ĭoug Hedges, President of Sintavia, LLC., notes, 'Inspire does what few programs can it takes a complex process and makes it easy to understand. 'With Inspire 2017, we improved our already great generative design product Inspire, by adding motion tools that enable design engineers to investigate system motion to predict loads for moving parts,' explained Andy Bartels, Program Manager.
