Caedium Builder

Caedium Builder allows you to quickly and easily create 2D or 3D models that represent your designs.

Try our Caedium Professional add-on for a complete Computer-Aided Engineering solution that includes this add-on and others - for details check out our Caedium Product Comparison chart.

Caedium Builder's versatile non-history based modeling gives you access to CAD-like capabilities within Caedium's unified simulation environment, so you can create your geometry and see the physical results of your simulation without ever having to leave Caedium - no time-consuming and tedious export and import of data.

Create geometry using solid modeling with NURBS, primitives and Booleans in Caedium Builder.

Caedium Builder is an add-on to Caedium, and provides the following capabilities:

Construct geometry

Use default 3D volumes: box, cone, cylinder, frustum, sphere, torus
Stitch faces together to create volumes
Add default 2D faces: circle, ellipse, rectangle
Create 2D surfaces by defining and connecting edges
Create 2D surfaces using the loft function
Generate default edge types: circle, ellipse, line
Use splines to create edges from vertices
Create vertices
Extrude, revolve, and sweep vertices, edges, and faces to create edges, faces, and volumes, respectively
Create multiple instances of primitives at multiple geometry centers

Modify geometry

Chamfer the edges of your geometry (e.g. chamfer edges of a cube)
Fillet the edges of a volume (e.g. fillet edges of a cube)
Fix tolerance problems
Offset faces of a volume
Join connected faces and edges to suppress small features using our Flexile Technology

Combine geometry

Unite geometry (e.g. sphere and cube, circle and rectangle)
Subtract geometry (e.g. sphere from a cube, circle from a rectangle)
Intersect geometry (e.g. sphere and cube, circle and rectangle)

Transform geometry

Rotate, scale, and translate geometry about the origin or user-defined axes
Orient an object in the X, Y, or Z direction (useful for aligning cameras)
Align source geometry centers, by translation, with a target geometry center

Miscellaneous

Annotate your model and results with text
Create additional axes to help you position your geometry quickly and accurately
Add lights to illuminate your geometry and highlight special features
Export brep files to use in other programs
