Supercharge your Geometry Model Preparation with Ansys SpaceClaim Scripting

Ansys SpaceClaim has long been the preferred tool for engineers to prepare CAD for simulation. With the release of Ansys 2020 R2, new advances have made SpaceClaim even easier and more powerful than ever before, particularly in bi-directional CAD transfer, block recording & scripting capabilities. LEAP recently ran a webinar to demonstrate how SpaceClaim allows...
