Shark FX-AP
Shark FX-AP integrates DARcorporation AeroPack into Punch Software Shark FX, which is a full-featured application that supports an integrated collection of 2D, 3D, surface, and solid modeling tools. Shark FX-AP includes numerous spline creation and modification commands, seventeen surface construction methods, blending, chamfering, shelling, stretching, twisting, bending, and local face operations. All modeling operations transparently support associativity for rapid design iterations.
Complete Design Solution
Shark FX is a full featured 2D and 3D digital design solution that provides versatile modeling practices and precision drafting capabilities all within one seamlessly integrated package. Shark FX supports an integrated collection of 2D, 3D, surface, and solid modeling tools, including numerous spline creation and modification commands, seventeen surface construction methods, blending, chamfering, shelling, stretching, twisting, bending, and foreign part editing tools. All surface and solid modeling operations transparently support associativity and a history tree for rapid design modifications.
Ease of Use
While many packages claim ease of use, few actually deliver. Shark FX not only delivers unprecedented usability, but provides an uncompromised, extensive set of 2D and 3D design tools. Shark FX has been designed, from the ground up, to be intuitive for the casual user as well as the professional engineer. Keys to the innovative user interface include smart prompting and tips, intelligent snapping through LogiCursor, and over 80 minutes of training videos. Install Shark and design your first precision part within minutes!
Intelligent Design
Quickly explore “What if” scenarios with Shark FX’s intelligent design features. All modeling operations remember how they were constructed through a feature tree and geometric associativity. Change a key feature or modify reference geometry to explore different part configurations. Use dimensions and constraints to drive 2D profiles which are then used to define extruded, lathed, or swept 3D components.
Complete Design Solution
Shark FX is the industry’s first modeling application totally focused on conceptual and preliminary design for those requiring precision content for 2D/3D digital models. Shark FX is a full featured package uniquely positioned to provide solutions that address versatile modeling practices, photorealistic rendering, animation, and precision drafting capabilities all within one seamlessly integrated package.
Special Effects
Shark FX provides photorealistic rendering to add visual realism to your designs. Drag and drop materials, textures, and decals onto parts. Use the material editor to tweak reflectance, color, displacement, transparency, and texture space attributes. Add lights, backgrounds, foregrounds or environment maps to further enhance the scene. For output, generate poster size, ray traced anti-aliased images or add life to your presentations with object based animation or QuickTime VR.
State of the Art Technology
Shark FX supports an integrated collection of 2D, 3D, surface, and solid modeling tools. You choose the tools or combination of tools you need for the task at hand. Notable tools include numerous spline creation and modification commands, seventeen surface construction methods, blending, chamfering, shelling, stretching, twisting, bending, and foreign part editing tools. All surface and solid modeling operations transparently support associativity and a history tree for rapid design modifications.
Rendering and Animation
Use our photo realistic rendering and animation tools to help communicate and sell your ideas to others. Drag and drop materials, decals, and background environments to turn your digital prototypes into stunning photo realistic renderings. Create high resolution poster size JPEG, BMP, or EPS files directly from Shark FX. Or create QuickTime VR animations using our fly by and walk through tools.
Drawing and Annotation
2D drawings are still a critical part of product design. With Shark FX, your 2D drawings are just a mouse click away using our innovative Model to Sheet tools. Accurately dimension the resulting drawings and add detail, section, or auxiliary views.
Share Data With AutoCAD®, CATIA®, and PRO/E®
Unlike facetted based conceptual design packages, Shark FX uses a precise kernel that facilitates the sharing of data using IGES, STEP, and AutoCAD® DXF/DWG file formats. Shark also supports reading native CATIA® v4 and PRO/E Wildfire® parts and assemblies as well as SAT for sharing with SolidWorks®.
Cost Effective Solution
Shark FX provides a complete design solution with access to over 680 commands for curve, surface, solid modeling, drafting, and photorendering at a fraction of the price of competitors. Now you can have all the power without all of the cost.
