BricsCAD Mechanical V26 is a comprehensive DWG-based CAD platform tailored for mechanical engineers and manufacturing professionals to streamline the creation of production documentation. It integrates drafting, 3D modeling, assemblies, manufacturing process modeling, drawing compliance, and validation within a single environment.

Key features include:

Parametric Standard Parts: Access to a library of 30,000 customizable standard mechanical components across 800+ types, facilitating efficient design processes.

3D to Sheet Metal Conversion: Automatic transformation of 3D entities into sheet metal designs, with manual refinement options and a full sheet metal toolset.

3D to 2D Documentation: Tools enabling non-3D experts to convert 3D models into annotated 2D manuals and assembly documentation.

DWG Compatibility: Seamless opening, editing, and reuse of metadata, parts lists, symbols, and annotations compatible with AutoCAD Mechanical.

Associative BOMs: Automatic generation of Bills of Materials and part lists linked to the model data.

3D Assembly Creation: Direct insertion and editing of parts within assemblies, maintaining associative BOMs, exploded views, and linked documentation.

Industry Standard Compliance: Application of mechanical dimensions, symbols, and annotations adhering to ISO, DIN, JIS, and ANSI standards.

Design Validation: Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) tools enabling motion animation, assembly sequence inspection, interference resolution, sheet metal validation, and 2D finite element analysis (FEA).

New and enhanced capabilities in version 26 accelerate the design-to-production workflow:

Optimized Sheet Metal Recognition: Improved edge feature classification with adjustable extrusion depth.

Faster and Reusable 2D FEA: Simplified editing, reaction force visualization, reusable setups, and zoom-highlight features.

Streamlined Dimensioning Control: Smarter commands and enhanced user interface for quicker, more accurate dimensioning.

Smart Auto-Chamfer Dimensioning: Automated creation of clear linear measurements for chamfers.

Comprehensive Weld Symbol Dialog: Unified panel for advanced weld symbol application with full property control.

Effortless Parts Navigation: Efficient commands combining zoom and highlight to quickly locate parts in drawings.

BricsCAD Mechanical V26 offers an integrated, industry-compliant solution that enhances productivity and accuracy in mechanical design and manufacturing documentation.
