VISI Modelling is the foundation of all VISI products and
provides a robust and powerful solid and surface modelling
system based around the industry standard Parasolid
kernel. Combined with Vero’s surface technology, model
analysis and 2D design, VISI Modelling offers complete
flexibility to construct, edit, deform or repair the most
complex 3D data.
Extensive range of CAD interfaces
VISI can work directly with Parasolid,
IGES, CATIA v4 & v5, Pro-E, UG,
STEP, Solid Works, Solid Edge, ACIS,
DXF, DWG, STL and VDA files. The
extensive range of translators ensures
that users can work with data from
almost any supplier. The ability to skip
corrupt records during the import
process provides a platform from
where the most inconsistent data can
be managed. Very large files can be
handled with ease and companies
working with complex designs will
benefit from the simplicity with which
their customer’s CAD data can be
manipulated.
True hybrid modelling
VISI provides a dynamic structure
from where it is possible to work
with either solid, surface, wireframe
or a combination of all three without
any restrictions. Solid modelling has
become a fundamental cornerstone of
design but is often limited to prismatic
or basic geometry. Solid modelling
commands include boolean technology
such as unite, subtract, extrude,
revolve, sweep, cavity, intersect and
hollow. Surfacing technology however
provides a different set of tools and
techniques for more organic, free-form
geometry creation. Surface modelling

functions include ruled, lofted, drive,
sweep, n-sided patch, drape, tangent,
draft, revolved and piped surfaces.
These modelling commands combined
with advanced surface editing make
it easy to heal imported geometry or
construct the most complex 3D data.
Surface repair and editing
Small gaps between surfaces on
imported models can be automatically
healed preventing the time consuming
process of rebuilding very small surface
patches. Where surfaces are corrupt
or missing VISI will automatically create
the edge curve geometry making it
easy to rebuild new faces using the
comprehensive surfacing suite. To
ensure the new surfaces are within
tolerance, the new and the old surfaces
can be compared to check for min/
max distance and curvature deviation.
Closing a surface model to produce
a solid body eliminates construction
problems later in the design process
and immediately brings the benefits
of solid modelling to the user. The
ability to seamlessly switch between
solid and surface technology provides
unlimited freedom, ensuring the user
can work with difficult CAD data.
