ISD HiCAD & HELiOS 2018

ISD Software have launched their latest version of HiCAD & HELiOS 2018. This software solutions enable our customers to realise even the most complex projects throughout all areas of engineering.

What's new in HELiOS 2018:

The new version of our PDM/PLM system has been released – with a new module structure and many functional enhancements, most notably of the Office and Multi-CAD interfaces. For example, all file-based Office interfaces (for Excel, Word, PowerPoint) now share one common workspace, which provides you with a clear overview of the checked out files and allows a direct checking in or cancelling of edits.

In the field of multi-CAD, the deriving of complete assemblies has been optimized, the creating of complete projects and folders has been significantly facilitated and the linking of articles can now be carried out directly from the multi-CAD integration.

What's new in HiCAD 2018:

HiCAD 2018 comes with a multitude of new and enhanced functions. Just one example is the new automatic itemisation for all industries. The itemisation parameters are directly saved in the model drawing, part groups are freely configurable and industry-specific configurations can be defined and re-used as Favourites. The fixed part groups that were used for the old itemisation have been replaced with freely configurable part groups the elements of which can be assembled with the help of part filters.

Further new features are hole patterns according to DIN 24041, the new exploded view function, the thread representation with textures, the 3-D representation of sectional views, the product structure transfer from P+IDs, the further expanded Standard Part inventory for Plant Engineering, the enhanced functionality for dynamic pipeline route change, or the creation of sub-structures for Element Installation. Another important novelty is the possibility to create milling edge zones for Sheet Metal parts, which can now be selected besides bend zones. You can do so, for instance, when attaching flanges, processing corners, adjusting bend zones, creating sheets along sketches or applying mitre cuts.

About HiCAD. Whether mechanical engineering, plant engineering, sheet metal processing, steel or metal engineering – each industry has its own, specific requirements. With HiCAD we can provide you with a unique all-in-one solution allowing a fast and efficient development of products in 2-D, 3-D and for any industry. Even cross-sectoral projects involving different industries can be realised effortlessly.

Thanks to its Hybrid Technology for the realisation of complex, cross-sectoral projects, HiCAD is the only CAD system in the world that does not only offer combined designing in 2-D and 3-D, but also the complete range of industry and product data management functions within one system, thus covering all crucial fields of engineering: Mechanical engineering, plant engineering, sheet metal processing, turnkey solutions for steel engineering, glass, metal and facade engineering. This enormous range was made possible by our self-developed software kernel, which provides the basis for innovative 2-D and 3-D CAD technologies throughout all fields of industry. With HiCAD you will therefore be ideally equipped for your future projects, no matter how complex they are.

About HELiOS. Today, product data and document management (PDM), as well as the safety and traceability of processes play an essential role in enterprises throughout all branches of industry. Products are created in working environments where complex dependencies, huge amounts of data and decisions of many departments have to be taken into account. In addition, the knowledge that is created in the course of the product lifecycle does often not only originate from various departments of your company, such as Engineering, Sales, Production or Marketing, but also from locations outside of your company, which can be distributed all over the world.

HELiOS, our software solution for Product Data Management (PDM), enables an effortless handling of even the largest amounts of data. State-of-the-art PDM functions ensure a safe management and productive use of the corporate knowledge. Whether E-mails, production drawings or various documentation – all data and documents created during the product development process are centrally managed and are readily available at any time. Processes such as access rights control, version control, document distribution, work instructions, order transactions etc. can be controlled with HELiOS in a safe and precise manner. In this way, the communication across departments and locations can be improved significantly – with positive effects on the complete product development process.
