Complete
Design Solution
Shark FX is a full featured 2D & 3D digital
design solution that provides solutions that
address versatile modeling practices,
photorealistic rendering, animation, and
precision drafting capabilities all within one
seamlessly integrated package. Shark FX is the
complete solution for creating concept through
production digital prototypes.
Ease of Use
While many packages claim ease of use, few
actually deliver. Shark FX not only delivers
unprecedented usability, but provides an
uncompromised, extensive set of 2D & 3D design
tools. Shark FX has been designed, from the
ground up, to be intuitive for the casual user
as well as the professional engineer.
Intelligent
Design
Quickly explore “What if” scenarios with Shark
FX’s intelligent design features. All modeling
operations remember how they were constructed
through a feature tree and geometric
associativity. Change a key feature or modify
reference geometry to explore different part
configurations. Use dimensions and constraints
to drive 2D profiles which are then used to
define extruded, lathed, or swept 3D
components.
Versatile
Modeling Methods
Shark FX supports an integrated collection of
2D, 3D, surface, and solid modeling tools. You
choose the tools or combination of tools you
need for the task at hand. Notable tools
include numerous spline creation and
modification commands, seventeen surface
construction methods, blending, chamfering,
shelling, stretching, twisting, bending, and
foreign part editing tools. All surface and
solid modeling operations transparently
support associativity and a history tree for
rapid design modifications.
Rendering and
Animation
Use our photo realistic rendering and
animation tools to help communicate and sell
your ideas to others. Drag and drop materials,
decals, and background environments to turn
your digital prototypes into stunning photo
realistic renderings. Create high resolution
poster size JPEG, BMP, or EPS files directly
from Shark FX. Or create QuickTime VR
animations using our fly by and walk through
tools.
Drawing and
Annotation
2D drawings are still a critical part of
product design. With Shark FX, your 2D
drawings are just a mouse click away using our
innovative Model to Sheet tools. Accurately
dimension the resulting drawings and add
detail, section, or auxiliary views.
Share Data
with MCAD and Enterprise Solutions
Unlike facet based design packages, Shark FX
uses a precise kernel that facilitates the
sharing of data using IGES, STEP, AutoCAD®
DXF/DWG and SAT. Shark FX also supports
reading native CATIA® v4 and PRO/E Wildfire®
parts and assemblies
