Spatial Announces Release 2024 1.0.1
Spatial Corp, the leading software development toolkit provider for design, manufacturing, and engineering solutions and Dassault Systèmes subsidiary, announces the production release of 2024 1.0.1.
Data Prep Is Officially Released
Open New Horizons in Data Import
After launching the alpha version, Data Prep, Spatial’s newest add-on product for 3D InterOp, is officially released to all customers. Supported strategies include filtering small bodies from a model, removing small holes and fillets, and generating an assembly structure from a part with duplicate bodies.
Over the past three months, customer interest confirms the market need for tools to simplify and optimize data during import. Spatial plans to invest further in Data Prep strategies. Functionality releasing soon includes:
- Capabilities to reduce data to manage while preserving relevant features - to shorten model preparation times for multi-physics and process simulation workflows.
- Ability to convert polyline data to continuous curves during file restore - to decrease memory consumption and allow for successful import.
- Option to avoid model shrinkage due to Data Prep strategies like feature removal - to ensure accuracy of collision detection analyses.
Users interested in defining future strategies for Data Prep should contact their account manager.
3D InterOp Extends Support for BIM and Manufacturing
New Support for Navisworks and Writing DXF/DWG Drawing Sheets
The latest release allows BIM customers to read Navisworks files and write drawing sheets in a DXF/DWG format. Additionally, 3D InterOp offers expanded support for the Linux platform in Parasolid-based 3D InterOp.
Point and Table Patterns from Creo Files
Manufacturing relies on hole pattern metadata for automated machining processes such as drilling, milling, cutting, or punching. The latest release of 3D InterOp supports Point and Table type hole patterns in Creo Reader.
Enabling Support of More Formats through External Partners
Extensible 3D InterOp enables partners to create readers and writers for unsupported file formats. These external implementations integrate with existing formats to seamlessly exchange BREP and Visualization data. Customers wishing to develop custom readers and writers can reach out to their account manager for assistance.
Package Size Optimization
For customers not needing support for all bundled formats, ACIS-based 3D InterOp offers guidance on configuring a minimal library set for popular CAD and exchange formats. This minimizes the libraries shipped with their application, saving end-user disk space. For example, supporting only IGES + STEP formats reduces installed library size by 70%.
3D ACIS Modeler Improves Polyhedral Modeling
Polyhedral Sheet Thickening
Additive manufacturing or EDA workflows often start with input that is a 2D representation of a thin part to be processed. When printing or simulating the part, generating a realistic 3D model representing the object with its actual thickness is helpful. This release delivers an API to generate a thickened body from polyhedral sheets.
New Polyhedral Boolean Operations
ACIS now provides functionality to compute the intersection graph between two polyhedral bodies. It also allows combining disjointed polyhedral bodies into a single body, increasing the efficiency of downstream operations.
CGM Provides More Manufacturing Automation and Simulation Tools
Enhancements to Feature Recognition and Removal
Users can now specify an industry context to customize the behavior of feature recognition. Setting the industry context tailors feature recognition to provide intuitive results for applications as diverse as Body-in-White, Micro-Mechanics, and Civil Engineering. This release also offers functionality to remove chamfers.
Improved Polyhedral Modeling for Additive Manufacturing
This release provides various robustness and performance enhancements targeting polyhedral healing and offset. For both types of operations, options are now available to tune the performance for specific configurations.
New Medial Axis Extraction Operator
Simulation engineers need tools to simplify the geometry of parts to reduce analysis computation time. This release features the beta version of the Neutral Fiber Operator, which reduces radially symmetric 3D bodies to a one-dimensional line.
CSM/CVM: Improvements to Cartesian Core Workflows
CVM generates Cartesian elements for interior meshing, resulting in accurate triangular surface meshes and predominantly hexahedral volume meshes. Users can now control the size of these elements, which were previously determined automatically based on surface mesh element size.

The smarter E Europe: Bidirectional Charging Saves Billions15.1.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press Release
Electric cars equipped with bidirectional charging technology can store electricity and feed it back into the grid when needed. A new study by Transport & Environment (T&E) shows that this could save billions by optimizing the use of generation capacity, reducing curtailment, and lowering fuel consumption. Bidirectional charging (BiDi) could thus achieve a technological and economic breakthrough in Europe but it requires clear regulatory framework conditions. Without these, the potential will remain untapped. In response to these developments, Europe’s largest alliance of energy industry exhibitions, The smarter E Europe, is dedicating a special exhibit to highlight the opportunities and challenges for the mobility and energy industries. The event will take place from May 7–9, 2025, at Messe München. This press release features multimedia.

Arthur D. Little Blue Shift Report Explores Transformative Impact of AI on Research, Development, and Innovation15.1.2025 13:00:00 CET | Press Release
AI has started to power all steps of research, development, and innovation (R&D&I), including those that require creativity, working alongside and augmenting humans, with its use increasing rapidly. However, while it is already delivering major productivity gains in specific areas or sectors its widespread integration into R&D&I processes is still relatively immature, and it faces a range of challenges around technology, economics, regulation, and societal acceptability. Irrespective of these challenges, six no-regret strategic actions should be undertaken today. These are the headline findings of Eureka! on Steroids: AI-driven research, development, and innovation, a new report published today byArthur D. Little (ADL)’s Blue Shift Institute. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250115868503/en/ In this new study, Arthur D.
