Digital Mockup

In Aras 3DV, a digital mockup is an ad-hoc arrangement of 3D component geometry on the 3D scene for analysis, review, or other purposes. End users can visualize collections of 3D assemblies, subassemblies, and parts in a manner that may be different from how these objects were defined within a CAD editor.

Using the Dynamic or Streaming Viewers digital mockup features, the end users can:

• Place additional assemblies, subassemblies, and parts onto a single 3D scene as outlined in the Adding Additional Models to 3D Scene section.
• Manipulate the position, orientation (by 3D rotation), and display of assemblies, subassemblies, and parts on a single 3D scene as outlined in the Manual Geometry Transformation section.
• Annotate assemblies, subassemblies, and parts on a single 3D scene with markup lines as outlined in the Markup Lines in Dynamic and Streaming Viewers section.
• Store an ad-hoc 3D scene view of a digital mockup for future use as outlined in the Saved Views section.
• Share and restore a digital mockup from a snapshot in the discussion panel as discussed in the Visual Collaboration section.
