CAD/CAM/CAE and PDM Product Catalogue
I-DEAS Master Series software

CAD/CAM/CAE and PDM Product Catalog is MECHANICAL ENGINEERING and DATA MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE TOOLS for designers, drafters, analyst, test engineers, manufacturing engineers, and the entire product development team.

Structural Dynamics Research Corporation (SDRC) has developed I-DEAS Master Series software based on the needs, opinions, and guidance of top engineers at some of the world’s leading manufacturers, and has delivered a mechanical design automation system with a wide range of benefits:

The easiest-to-use,

  • To work with or migrate and integration from with other commercial software applications,
  • Supported by popular industry-standards,
  • The Web standard language for building and delivering 3D models on the Internet and on intranets,
  • I-DEAS Data Management software provides the flexibility to manage and share data in a controlled, concurrent manner, etc which are some of highest level attributes.

    Every area of evolution of the products and projects is covered, from defining and configuring a structure, design, supervising, changing, through manufacturing, and so on, making a team work and individual involvement in the projects technically superior and competitive.

  • I-DEAS Master Modeler software is a high-performance 3D design system, and the multi purpose geometric modeling foundation of I-DEAS.
  • I-DEAS Drafting software is used by engineers, designers, draftsmen, and detailers to create detailed production mechanical drawings.
  • I-DEAS Test products share core features of I-DEAS Master Series software, and provides foundation display, data management, and signal processing capabilities.
