BricsCAD Mechanical volume refers to a licensing model that allows an organization to install and use the BricsCAD Mechanical software on multiple computers within their network, typically for a set number of users. This volume license provides advanced mechanical design features such as 3D modeling, sheet metal design, assembly modeling, and tools for Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA), facilitating a streamlined workflow from 2D to 3D and managing the entire product lifecycle.
What it is:
Volume Licensing:
A licensing structure designed for organizations requiring access for multiple users, providing a single license key for numerous installations.
Specialized Toolset:
BricsCAD Mechanical includes advanced 3D modeling, sheet metal design, and assembly features.
Integrated Workflow:
It supports workflows for 2D mechanical drafting, 3D assembly modeling, and generating 2D documentation from 3D models.
BOM Generation:
The software can automatically generate fully associative Bill of Materials (BOMs) and part lists from 3D data.
DFMA Tools:
It includes easy-to-use Design for Manufacturing and Assembly tools to optimize production processes.
How it works:
Licensing:
Instead of purchasing individual licenses for each user, a single volume license is purchased for the organization.
Installation:
The volume license key can be used to install and activate the software on multiple computers within the organization's network.
Cross-Upgrade Path:
Organizations already using BricsCAD Pro can upgrade their existing Pro volume license to a Mechanical volume license, unlocking the specialized mechanical toolset.
Consistency and Functionality:
This model ensures consistent access and functionality for all users within designated groups, ideal for teams.
Key Features Enabled by BricsCAD Mechanical:
3D and 2D Tools:
Creation of 3D assemblies, 2D detailed documentation, and use of the familiar BricsCAD interface.
Sheet Metal Design:
Complete sheet metal features for creating and documenting sheet metal parts, including bend validation and unfolding processes.
Assembly Design:
Tools for modeling, inspecting, and optimizing assemblies.
BOM and Documentation:
Generation of associative BOMs and part lists, and the creation of base views from 3D models.
