Okino's PolyTrans Supports NGRAIN v4 "3D Performance Support Solutions" Through Updated File Format Exporter

Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) March 12, 2008 -- Okino Computer Graphics announced today that it now supports the latest release of the NGRAIN file format, version 4.0, with an updated exporter plug-in module for the Okino line of software products. NGRAIN's version 4.0 release of its unique interactive 3D software tools incorporates the latest advancements in 3D virtual equipment simulations.

The Okino NGRAIN Exporter plug-in module will allow export to 3D Knowledge Objects (3K0s) from any application that currently supports the Okino PolyTrans converter interface and API, including the stand-alone Okino PolyTrans and NuGraf software, PolyTrans-for-MAX, PolyTrans-for-Maya, PolyTrans-for-XSI and other third party vendor software with integrated PolyTrans support.

"NGRAIN customers in the aerospace, defense and energy markets are repurposing their 3D assets to create training content, interactive technical manuals, and enhanced applications with a 3D interface. Converting 3D CAD and DCC files to the NGRAIN format is an important step in the production process for creating these downstream applications of 3D content," said Robert Lansdale, President and CEO of Okino Computer Graphics, Inc. "Okino and NGRAIN's continued collaboration provides users with a one-stop solution for funneling all major 3D data sources into NGRAIN software at a reasonable and fixed cost."

"NGRAIN's focus is to provide a complete end-to-end solution," Jacqueline Cheung, Technical Product Manager for NGRAIN, commented. "We partner with companies such as Okino to provide a translation solution for our customers that have existing 3D models. Providing our customers with a reliable solution for converting and creating 3D content is critical. With PolyTrans, our customers can quickly and easily convert most 3D file formats directly to the NGRAIN format."

NGRAIN users will be able to create version 4.0 3KOs by converting native CAD packages and file formats such as ACIS SAT, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk AutoCAD and Mechanical Desktop, CATIA v4, CATIA v5, IGES (solids, surfaces and bounded surfaces), Parasolid, Pro/Engineer, Rhino-3D/OpenNURBS, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, STEP, STL, X3D, XGL, VDA-FS and many other industry standard file formats.

CAD Drafting Services Make Possible to Intensify Architectural Design World Starting form the early 1980s, CAD Drafting services are extensible functional for architects, civil engineers and building construction contractors. It has been providing better quality drawings, designs with optimum accuracy and flexibility. Latest Computer Aided Design softwares allow the professional designers to draw much better flexible designs, sketches and diagrams on mouse clicks, which will take months to do manually and hence able to fulfill the architectural needs of the customers with proper time limit. The Advantages of Using CAD Services CAD technologies are beneficial to almost any organization in the fields of engineering, production, and designing Any design or blueprint made using CAD technologies can be reused as many times as required, thus cutting down on designing expenses considerably Advantages of Outsourcing CAD Design and Drafting Services CAD design and drafting service provides maximum exposure to computer technology by adding its latest features for innovative engineering related designs and drawings. By the help of computer software, experienced CAD professionals able to create better and proficient designs with less time and optimum accuracy. Especially Indian CAD professionals are more efficient than other countries. Due to this reason developed countries like USA, UK, utilize Indian brains and outsource their CAD drawings and designs in form of editable digital files for proper design and conversion according to the measurements.

It is a structure of design in which people work with computer tools for creating models, drawings and other prototypes. CAD was first developed in 1970s with 2D in order to assist engineers, architects, and other design professionals in their technical drawings and drafting, but now it has expanded with numerous other potential uses with 3D designs and models. Designers from various fields such as Engineering, Architecture, Fashion, Textile and Graphics are highly dependent on CAD technologies. CAD is considered as a revolutionary design tool, which provides cost-effective solutions with quick time interval.

Why Should Use CAD Conversion and CAD Services??? Why Should Use CAD Conversion and CAD Services??? Benefits of Outsourcing CAD Design and Drafting Services CAD design service is a clear revelation of the present age of progress in terms of innovation and technological progress. The basic idea behind any kind of CAD-Services is to use the computer for better and efficient design. Digital files on the computer are used for the purpose of enabling the use of CAD design services for multi-layered and fully editable files. Each file contains several layers with each layer is an aspect of the design. For example, a layer can have a provision of the stairs, have a different ventilation plan. This makes it easier to use CAD services and architectural services for customized models.
