LIVEsearch supports engineers by suggesting geometrically similar components during the design process

Many animals communicate by the way they look at you. Dogs, for example, can let their masters know that they are hungry with their famous "begging look". Our four-legged friends can often get what they want without words. The intelligent finding method LIVEsearch works in a similar fashion by anticipating the (component) wishes of engineers, entirely without words.

LIVEsearch is a variant of the 3D Shape Search of the Strategic Parts Management PARTsolutions, which runs automatically in the background during the modelling phase – regardless of the CAD system being used. Thus, engineers are shown suggestions of already existing geometrically similar parts during the design process directly within their CAD system.

LIVEsearch reduces the effort for complete remodeling – saving time and money. In addition, the reuse of parts in the company is promoted. Thanks to the seamless integration into the CAD system, a system change is not necessary to run a 3D Shape Search via LIVEsearch. Geometrically similar components are suggested by LIVEsearch during the design process. Subsequently, other functions are available such as part comparison and CAD export.

CADENAS opens up new opportunities to intelligently find product information as well as CAD data of standard, purchased and single parts. The search functions have been optimized especially for the needs of engineers and purchasers and enhance the intelligent finding of needed components by intuitive operation.
