What’s New in Lite3D 2023?

Here are a few highlights for this release:

LiteBox3D

New pro function: Export model views as PDF or PNG

• Export models views as multipage PDF or separate PNG images (LiteBox3D Pro required)
• Select multiple model views for export or print
• Option to select only model views defined on the first structure level
• Additional output options: PMI color, background color, orientation
• Rendering output with improved performance and less memory consumption
• Improved progress bar

LiteComply

New checks for Validation Properties are available.

Upcoming versions of the JT file format define special properties for validating the correctness of PMI on element level. You can use LiteComply to perform this validation. Values from the native CAD system are validated against corresponding values calculated by LiteComply:

• CAD_PMI_ATTACHED_GEOM_LENGTH
• CAD_PMI_ASSOCIATED_GEOM_LENGTH
• CAD_PMI_ATTACHED_GEOM_AREA
• CAD_PMI_ASSOCIATED_GEOM_AREA

In LiteComply 1.17.1, the rule is a beta feature available for public testing. Some data may not be read correctly. Therefore, the results may be incomplete or not reliable.

LiteWeb

Supports STEP files and is now available as a Docker container
• STEP AP242 files can now be opened
• Easy installation and scaling with Docker container

LiteCar

Pedestrian Protection: Engine Hood Edge

The new engine hood edge sub-feature calculates additional check points on the bonnet (engine hood) edge.
A measuring device (sphere) is aligned at target points under specific impact angles. At every target point, LiteCar calculates the center point of the device and the touchpoint between device and bonnet top geometry.

The sub-feature can use either bonnet top grid points (according to Euro NCAP 8.4) or points distributed on the bonnet side curve (according to ECE R-127 Rev. 02).
