Whilst Engineering and Manufacturing constraints of a Body In White (BIW) component are important, many Automotive OEM’s are today increasingly turning their attention to those exposed BIW areas of a vehicle that consumers can see, such as a Door opening, with a view to improving the aesthetical appearance of the shape itself.
ICEM GreyZone is a dedicated workbench to support the creation and modification of secondary surfaces in the automotive body-in-white domain of apertures & closures, addressing the increasingly more common market requirement in this domain of a strong aesthetical appearance. ICEM GreyZone addresses these automotive engineering needs by generating of high quality smooth but simple surfaces whilst respecting aesthetic and strict engineering tolerances requirements.
Product Highlights
- Fully integrated into the V5 PLM environment as an additional module on top of prerequisite CATIA V5 GSD
- Supports explicit and associative modeling techniques
- High quality surface generation, modification and analysis capabilities
- Intuitive surface modeling techniques
- Feature-based approximation
- Offering a set of Class A functionality dedicate to the automotive body-in-white domain
Customer Benefits
CATIA V5 integration ... complementing the strong presence of CATIA V5 GSD (Generative Shape Design) within the automotive body in white domain, ICEM GreyZone is offered as an add-on module providing design engineers within the capability to deliver higher levels of surface quality and aesthetical appearance demanded by vehicle stylists.
Interactive Tools ... with traditional direct surface modeling techniques or using strong associative and feature-based modeling methodology managed by 3D interactive tools. This modeling technique greatly enhances users capability to control the quality and aesthetical appearance of the surface whilst maintaining associativity, thus dramatically improving the productivity in aesthetical construction of body-in-white apertures & closures providing manufacturing quality across the whole development process.
Associative and feature based modeling ... combining parametric and feature based modeling techniques surfaces can be interactively modeled, preserving the design characteristics of those features.
ICEM GreyZone uses standard V5 associative modeling techniques to manage related body engineering constraints, such as die angles, draft angles, fillets etc.
Using the native CATIA V5 data format ICEM GreyZone provides seamless dataflow across all Dassault Systèmes V5 products.
