Anark CoreTM Adds Native 64 Bit, and Expanded Support for DWG and JT Formats

Anark Core 3.1 Quickly Makes Large 3D CAD Files Smaller, Lighter, Faster
BOULDER, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
Anark Corporation, leading provider of automated 3D CAD transformation and
product visualization solutions, today announced the release of Anark Core 3.1
which adds significant new capabilities to address the major bottlenecks that
plague manufacturers when trying to collaborate, share, and repurpose complex 3D
CAD data and manufacturing information.

"Anark Core 3.1 makes it easier to process large complex product assemblies,
drastically reduce model size and detail, and prepare and convert 3D CAD content
for visualization and simulation applications," said Stephen Collins, CEO of
Anark. "When integrated within an enterprise PLM infrastructure, Anark Core's
ability to make 3D CAD files smaller, lighter, and faster removes a practical
and costly barrier preventing manufacturers from efficiently sharing this data
and realizing its full value throughout the enterprise and extended
supply-chain."

Anark Core 3.1 Feature Highlights

* Native 64-bit support provides additional addressable memory for extremely
large footprint 3D CAD assemblies;
* Support for import and export of Dassault CATIA V5 R20 assemblies, import of
Parametric Technology Corporation Pro|ENGINEER Wildfire 5 components and
assemblies, and import of Siemens NX 7 components and assemblies;
* Siemens JT format improvements resulting in up to 10x increase in import
performance;
* Adding to Anark Core's ability to simplify NURB and B-Rep assets, leverage
existing PLM assets by re-tessellating high-resolution Siemens JT or CATIA CGR
assemblies into high-quality, lightweight mesh models;
* Simplify existing complex Autodesk DWG files containing parametric geometry
and mesh-based objects to reduce file size and improve performance within AEC,
space planning, and 3D catalog applications; intelligent edge suppression to
create more attractive DWG symbols;
* Improved load balancing and throughput for batch processing large numbers of
CAD files with Anark Core Server.

"Anark Core 3.1 has added specific functionality to support 20-20 Technologies'
End-to-End approach to content creation and deployment," said Bruce Allum of
20-20 Technologies. "Anark gives us the ability to easily defeature complex
assemblies required to drive production in the factory floor and convert these
into lightweight 3D drawing files that can generate business at the point of
sale."

About Anark Core

Anark Core is an innovative PLM solution that quickly and easily simplifies and
converts complex 3D CAD assemblies for downstream use throughout manufacturing,
design, engineering, and support organizations. Unlike conventional CAD
translation and conversion products, Anark Core captures all CAD simplification
steps into "recipes" that allow manufacturers to automate the entire process of
accessing and re-purposing 3D CAD and product information every time a
significant design or production database change occurs.
