Interactive Fitting for Solidworks™

Based on Haption’s physics simulation technology IPSITM, IFS “Interactive Fitting for Solidworks” is a plug-in for the CAD software SolidworksTM. IFS is composed of one core platform and one add-on module:

  • IFS Core provides tools for creating an interactive physics simulation session, managing interaction devices, changing object properties, etc.

  • IFS Robotics complements IFS Core with functionalities to animate robots

IFS Core:

  • Read the specification of the current assembly

  • Feel contact forces and gravity

  • Record, and Play a trajectoty of one object stored in an XML file

  • Control the precision down to sub-millimeter levels

  • Use any kind of haptic device (Virtuose, Inca, Able) and tracking system (ART, Motion Analysis, Vicon, Xsens), 6D USB mouse from 3Dconnexion

IFS Robotics:

  • Add a robot to the assemby

  • Build a chain of robots

  • Extract the geometry of robot segments

  • Move a robot joint

  • Activate/deactivate collision management

  • Record the robot movements
