Syncronous Technology

Well, Good question.

Lots of marketing works have been done by Siemens - what I can understand so far.

I could not see any actual user feed back so far other than Siemens
 
Looks good and to be honest a degree (but only a degree) of free-form designing capability can only be a good thing....


From what I remember of sketching without dimensions and constraints (I think they called it a drawing board, that's how old this idea is.....no wait the pen and paper that was the original way of doing this sort of design) then from a creative point of view the average engineering brain likes to be able to wander down a path, change, go somewhereelse, changeetc. and finally get to a final design.


Syn. tech. may help with this process, but I can't see it get rid of doodling (which to me is the really creative part of designing), I thinkit will only catch that bit between the doodle and the initial part model (not the biggest part of any design)

The wicked thing that PTC did (and Im not even sure they know how cool it is) is allow free form surface Edit functionality all while managing the parent child constraints to the curves. Curves typically drive the surfaces... Right. Well they still do even if you plop on a surface edit. Its hard for engineers to fathom if thy have not worked closely with ergonomists or Industrial designers.... try to stay with me....

in the case of Alias studio curves and surfaces, designers will quickly discard the construction history and opt for the surface edit tools. DESIGNER= industrial designer not the contractor without a degree ;)

In proe you get the strength of both. Free form surface edit 'surface' looking at parametric curves. PTC is absolutely Brilliant. now if they can get some industrial designers to not be so stubborn and cheer for saladworks (thanks Howard) .... thats up the marketing folks but i don't think they know exactly how do get that job done.... or understand that that needs to happen.... or something....

design engine has a vested interest in those id'ers because thats what we based our entire business model on. Product design not Pro/E instruction. Product design instruction.... and those industrial designers (or a good lot of em) are soldworks cheer leaders out of ignorance. or because the like how pretty the interface is.

If it kills all the intelligence, it is good only editing imported features. All together Seems like marketing stunt from UG people.
 
leow_john,


I think you captured the technology well. I don't see how you can have it both ways (free-form and parametric).

Hi Mechanical01,

You should take a look on CoCreate. This is the NX equivalent at PTC

But I still prefer the parametric way to build a model. Synchronous technology is for those how don't understand how to built a good parameteric model
