One Software, More Than 50 Modules, Countless Use Cases

Where is the DMU Potential in your 3D Data?

VT-DMU is the market-leading and innovative solution for digital product development based on 3D data. The modular software kit with more than 50 modules works flexibly, efficiently and individually according to the Lego principle. This means that individual modules can be combined as required depending on the use case in order to maximise the benefits.

You receive an overview of all potential points of conflict at the touch of a button.

Creation of a spatial map as an intelligent addition to geometry

This means that each model knows its position in the room.

Rule-based search of models that are in the vicinity of another model

This allows each component to recognize its neighbor.

Calculation of distance ranges and creation of distance bands between components or component groups

You will receive a complete list of all potential clearance problems.

DMU Use Case: Collision Calculation Between Component Scopes with any Amount of 3D Data

Here, the various modules were combined into a workflow for one customer:

Importing the product structure or the required scope

The associated 3D data is read in

A spatial map is generated using the 3D data. It is used for orientation of the various geometries

Neighborhood search to show the individual geometries how they belong together

Calculation of all geometric overcuts, contacts or distances between all individual components

Writing out the result files

This workflow gives you a complete overview of all potential geometric conflicts that occur in the calculated scope. Your advantage is the early detection of problems or errors during digital creation, so that the product functions and can be manufactured without errors later on.
