T-flex cad 12 crack

This software has a wide range of applications in the design of two-dimensional and three-dimensional mechanical elements, conceptual design, reverse engineering, bearing inspections and rapid prototyping. Performing simulations on the types of components you want with a variety of geometry has become easier than ever thanks to the tools, functions available for editing and managing data.

Modeling by this software has a high accuracy of operation. You can apply the most detailed items in your simulations and accurately simulate your desired model. Benefiting from the ability of automatic parametric connections for your model parts is one of the capabilities of this software.

Execution of arbitrary macro when inserting a part was implemented. Macro can be programmed for a specific algorithm to insert custom entities improving intuitiveness and adding a variety of additional functionality. The new mechanism for part alignment with specific bindings to floor, walls, ceiling, and horizontal surfaces by mechanism of connectors is very helpful for interior designs.

The possibility of modifying external variables in the model by means of manipulators adds flexibility for parameters control. Inserting and editing of parts was noticeably accelerated. Mechanism for creating BOM tables and placing was greatly enhanced receiving an automatic option. Functionality for creating 2D documentation was expanded.

Section views now have additional features. Database access functions were completely redesigned. New mechanism of grouping elements significantly accelerated selection of elements in a variety of operations.

For a full detailed list of new features, click here. The positive direction of extrusion is indicated in red, negative - in blue. The manipulator has context menu invoked by clicking the right mouse button , which has additional options:. All elements of the manipulator, axis of arrow, ends in the form of cones and point-balls on the ends of arrows hidden by default, have their own functionality. Click on the ball at the end of the arrow takes command to the mode of setting the first and second points of extrusion direction.

Click on the arrow moves command to selection of extrusion direction mode. Click on the arrow cone or dragging the arrows allow you to set limits of extrusion by distance or by fixing to a geometric point. Using the new manipulator simplifies and accelerates the process of creating extrusion, making it convenient and intuitive. Dynamic Preview. All blend operations now provide possibility to see the results of the operation in dynamic preview. The system displays in color the volume to be removed as a result of the operation.

The new mechanism not only allows to estimate the future result of blend, but also to identify the problem areas of the operation. On those parts of the model, where the construction of blend with the specified parameters is not possible, there is no preview highlight. The resulting body will go along the selected edges on one side and faces on the other.

The second wall is not specified in this case. This mode supports only constant radius blends. Functionality and user interface for "Blend Edges" operation was significantly improved. Refined the Operation parameters dialog was expanded. Now it accommodates several tabs for setting various objects of blending - blended edges and vertices, edges that should not be changed by blend bounding geometry.

Automenu behavior also has been changed. The process of editing the list of blended objects has been simplified. Now by selecting objects in 3D window, you can not only add items to the list, but remove them as well.

In addition, the following new features appeared in operation:. Explicit definition of retained edges. Now you can specify edges of the body that will bound the blend surface on. This feature is similar to that in the "Blend Faces" command.

When you create blend with variable radius it is now possible to specify null value for radius at any point, and not only for the end points, as before. Setting the trimming geometry - allows you to trim the blend geometry with an arbitrary face, plane or sheet body.

This feature allows you to create blends in a variety of complex configurations. Specifying the order of the blend edges in vertices. This feature allows you to change the shape of the blend geometry in vertex, depending on the order of edges blending.

Specifying blend topology in vertices. It allows you to create blends in vertices with different shape and geometry - with the use of transitional surfaces or without them.

Specifying the order of forming blend surfaces in case of their overlapping on multiple edges. Creating chamfer in vertex. Now you can cut sharp angle at a vertex, without specifying the blend at adjacent edges. In addition, blend algorithms for complex cases were significantly improved including blending of degenerate and self-intersecting surfaces. You can select from two options: fix by path and direction or fixing of rotation. Fixing by path and direction : tangent to the trajectory at each point of the trajectory is projected onto a plane perpendicular to the direction of fixing.

The coordinate system of the intermediate section is based on the resulting projection of the tangent to the trajectory and direction of the fixing. Fixing of rotation : coordinate system of the intermediate section is constructed tangent to the trajectory at a given point of the trajectory and by the vector product of the fixing direction and the tangent. Texture Files. Management of texture files now is implemented in accordance with the general algorithm for links to external files similar to fragments, pictures, database files, etc.

This means that:. Material Application. Command " 3AM: Apply Material " was essentially refined. The command was translated to a modeless dialog box of parameters and complemented by functionality. New ways of texture mapping allow creating more realistic models. New intuitive manipulators are now used to control the texture mapping and accurate positioning.

Different context menu with mapping options will appear depending on which element of the manipulator plane, point, arrow or arc there was right mouse button click. All movements of manipulator are logged. Any transformation from the log list may be edited. For the material application you can select all faces of an operation, the individual face of operation, as well as all faces except selected.

From material - all parameters are taken from the material properties as it was in version Plane — material mapping is done as if the texture is projected along the normal to the plane in which it is located, i. Sphere - material mapping is done as if the texture is located on a segment of a sphere. This option is useful for texturing on spherical and similar surfaces.

The parameters of sphere define the scale of texture and controlled by manipulator. Box - it is assumed that textures are mapped on the faces of a box and are projected by these faces.

For this type of mapping there is an additional scale by the third coordinate. Scale, thus, define overall dimensions of "reference surface". By surface coordinates - mapping useful for curved surfaces.

In this mode texture coordinates are associated with the internal coordinates of the surface. It can be viewed as a generalization of mapping at sphere and cylinder.

Texture mapping on a surface is always unambiguous, so manipulators are not used. In the dialogs of deformation command it is now possible to define accuracy of calculations. This allows the calculation of complex models that have previously resulted with incorrect geometry. Interface of deformation command for bending was redesigned.

Multi-element manipulator in the form of LCS is now used to specify bending parameters. For all elements of the manipulator there are context menus available with a set of options to simplify positioning of the manipulator and to set bending parameters. The command now has more user-friendly interface and enhanced functionality.

A new functionality will greatly facilitate the work of engineers, designing pipeline and cable systems. The pipe path can now be presented as a complex 3D path with segments of different types. Path segments may be defined as splines based on points, splines on control polygon or polyline. In one path you can combine different types of segments. For each segment you can separately specify rounding at points, common for the whole segment or individual for each point and the tangent vector at the beginning and end of the segment.

Special multifunctional manipulator in the form of coordinate system is used to set the position of points. The manipulator can be moved along one or two axes at once moving it by the coordinate axes , randomly in space with the ball in the center , rotated around an axis via the arcs between the axes.

In the context menu for each element of the manipulator axis, arrow, plane there is a broad set of commands for changing the position of manipulator in space, fixing it to the existing model elements. System monitors and displays all errors in process of path construction. Also for clarity it is possible to display tags with radii for all fillets. When creating a path, user now has the ability to dynamically monitor the appearance of the future pipe.

In the parameters dialog box there is section "Pipe", where you can specify the diameter of the pipe. In the process of creating a path system will preview the proposed pipe. Command for creating a pipe path may be invoked by user as a separate command or directly from the command " Operation Pipe ". The suppression of an array now brings the original objects to the scene.

The change only applies to the case when option " Include Source Operation " is on and only for arrays that do not have option " Separate to Solids ". Internal data storage for threads was optimized. In previous versions of T-FLEX the model contained specific information about the faces on which the thread is available.

It took a lot of graphics and operational memory, and greatly increased file size. Now this information is not stored. Now only references to existing geometry of bodies are used for defining threads. This reduces the requirements on the graphics and memory. This mechanism is very fast and has virtually no effect on the speed of redrawing the models that have cosmetic threads.

In addition, it requires no additional memory consumption. This greatly improves performance when drawing 3D scenes and reduces the requirements for the memory.

Perspective 2D Projections. Check the "Perspective Projection" in the "Basic parameters" tab of the projection parameters dialog box. Dimensions that are based on 2D projections are drawn in accordance with the parameters of perspective. Parallel Projection Perspective Projection. Mechanism of drawing 3D detailing elements dimensions, leader notes, roughness symbols was changed. Now they are drawn quickly and considering removal of hidden lines.

This helps to avoid 3D scene overloading. TrueType fonts are now used when drawing the 3D detailing elements. Now when working with multi-level assemblies user does not need to "walk" through all levels of an assembly to change the values of external variables of the lower level fragment.

Variables of fragments at any level of nesting can be edited directly in the context of higher-level assemblies. You may select sub-fragments for editing through a level in the model tree or directly in 3D scene. New selection mode was introduced for this purpose - " Select Internal Fragments ".

In this mode, you can select individual bodies-fragments of sub-assemblies. The set of commands is available for selected fragments to open documents of fragments, detail fragments and edit their variables. Manipulators of External Variables. User-defined manipulators may be used now for setting values of external variables in 3D model. Manipulators of external variables can be used in two ways:. The command provides possibility to add new manipulators, delete existing ones, and change the description of manipulator.

The command supports creation of four types of manipulators:. Each type of manipulator has its own properties that define the shape of the manipulator. For example, for a linear manipulator this is the direction and size of arrow, colors on viewing selection and activation. Also, there are common properties for all types of manipulators: name of external variable associated with the manipulator, comment that explains the appointment of the manipulator, the range of values, and discreteness of values continuous manipulator, with step, out of the list.

Using Dimensions of Fragments in Assemblies. You can now "raise" 3D dimensions, created inside the document of fragment in the assembly. Dimensions of fragments raised in 3D assembly can be used for two purposes:. For this purpose, you must set nominal to "Manual" in dimension parameters and for expression field assign the name of external variable. Mechanism of Smart Fragments provides possibility to run arbitrary macro when inserting a fragment.

Smart Fragment mechanism allows the development of parametric library parts with the script of their insertions described in the program that is stored directly in the file of library element or external module DLL. Macro can contain code that implements the necessary logic of user interface when inserting a fragment. For example, an adaptive model of the "Groove" has a set of external variables and adaptive parameter - the circular edge, which should be substituted when inserting the fragment.

File "Groove. Macro will be started automatically when you insert this groove from library. Instead of the standard command of fragment insertion with full 3D interface, this time a simple command will be started. It allows you to select edges that satisfy special condition and change the values of external variables of inserted fragment. The result of inserting the fragment in this scenario is a groove on the shaft.

This mechanism allows programmers to create user-friendly scenario for inserting fragments in different application areas. The new method of fixing 3D fragments was added - "3D Placement". The new mechanism allows you to quickly create placement setups in 3D scene using special bindings to the floor, walls, ceiling, and horizontal surfaces.

Bindings are defined through connectors with certain parameters. When you insert 3D fragments in 3D placement mode system will dynamically test intersection of bodies to ensure correct placement of the elements. A new display mode for thickness of image line was introduced - " Always 3 pixels ".

When activated, the main lines always have thickness of 3 pixels, thin - 1 pixel regardless of the drawing zoom. All dialogs that provide output of "Default" value now have reference output of corresponding value, set in the document parameters. Now when highlighting selected 2D element system will use different color if the color set for highlighting coincides with the color of element. When creating or editing an image line it is possible to set its thickness in the system toolbar.

This feature is available as " Copy Properties from Existing Element " option in automenu of creating and editing commands. New option was added to "N: Construct Node" command: node, dividing the distance between two other nodes in a given ratio.

Functionality of the command for creating axes " Draw Axis " was significantly expanded. Now you can create axes of the following types:. A special case of this option is inclined axis with arc at size of one circle if second circle is not defined as well as inclined axes with arc to node if 2D node is defined instead of the second circle.

New Way of Dimensioning — Dimension from Axis. New option was added to dimension creation command - " Dimension from Axis ".

It allows you to create diametric dimensions from axis. This dimensions looks like an ordinary linear dimension, which has diameter symbol, with a nominal value doubled. Arrow at the axis is not displayed - it is replaced by offset line with length equal to half the size of the font.

To create dimension from axis it is necessary to specify axis construction or image line and object on which to create the dimension. This object may be construction line, image line images, or node. Now you can create dimension without lines that is to display it in the drawing only as nominal value. This type of dimension display is useful when you want to place the dimension in particular location on the drawing but without displaying its lines.

The mode can be selected from the drop-down list "Type" on the " Style " tab. Linking Dimension String to Node. This option is available when positioning dimension on the drawing. If it is enabled, selection of 2D node option will link dimension string to this node and dimension creation will be completed.

If not, as before only guide line will be linked to this node and the command will continue to work. Correction for Alternative Dimension. For alternative dimensions you can now add correction — additional value to the nominal size as compared with the calculated value.

When displaying alternative dimensions you can now use any type of delimiter. In the document parameters on the "Alt. Dimensions" tab there is now possibility to select standard delimiters - square, curly braces - as well as any arbitrary separators.

Using Properties of Dimension in its own Parameters. Setting Connection of Dimension with another Dimension. Now you can associate dimension with another dimension. New option was added for this purpose to the command of dimension creating. When setting such association parameters of "connected" dimension for example, the nominal value, other display options are taken from the original dimension. List of "related" parameters can be controlled in the properties dialog by selecting appropriate mode for nominal and pop-up checkboxes in the properties dialog.

You can break connection between dimensions with option. This functionality can be used, for example, to display dimensions on a simplified drawing the same as on the exact product drawing. Command for creating leader notes was substantially revised. Interface became more convenient. All parameters of the leader note are edited seamlessly with the properties dialog box.

All the graphics settings coordinates, offsets are edited directly in the drawing window with manipulators markers. Leader note can now have a multiple leaders. Each leader can have its parameters. Each leader can have an arbitrary number of intermediate points, which can be conveniently edited in the command of creation and editing using object snaps and the properties dialog box. Text position and special symbols of leader notes are now controlled by means of special points-manipulators.

Command " Draw Section " now has option for creating section symbols based on geometry of 2D path. Thus, it is possible to create section symbols along the arc of a circle, as well as along the complex path, including lines and arcs of circles. The command is now using a convenient modeless dialog, similar to most other commands of the system. Functionality of the command was expanded - now it allows you to create tolerances and datums with any number of arrows, and fix them directly on 3D models.

Tolerance with the leader or datum with leader now present a single element with common dialog. Convenient manipulators were added to create leader with breaks. For dimensions, roughness and leader notes now it is possible to clear background under individual elements of the objects.

In the parameters of these drawing elements the following check boxes for clearing background were added:. You can now assign name for drawing elements — dimensions and leader notes — in commands for editing these elements. Element name may be helpful for using various properties measurements in variables editor as well as for searching named element via API calls in macro programs and applications.

Command allows you to change the length of the visible part of the line. Extension function is available only to straight segments and arcs. The new command simplifies image lines editing on the drawing views. For example, with the help of this command straight segment in the image of the groove can be easily and quickly converted into a rounded fillet.
