Merging IDEAS and UG
- Thread starter rossly
- Start date
Ideas is using the Parasolid kernel now.
The mereger is a long term deal that had to be coordinated with various customers. From my understanding Ideas V10 is out and UG NX V2 is also out. There will be a NX V3 next year and then the next release will see the merger complete. I would guess that will be mid-2005. I don't know if there will be an Ideas V11.
UG V18.4 and Ideas V9.1 could share files. UG can open a .xpk from Ideas directly.

When you say Ideas is using it now, is that V10 because V9 is not? Granted you can export a Parasolid but there is no history.
Being a UG desiger I am just wondering what if any benefit there is to being trained in Ideas since it is going to be merged. Other then learning other techniques I am struggling to see the benefits.

I am pretty sure I-deas is NOT running a parasolid kernel.
It would be a huge kernel change.
I believe there are no plans to make I-deas native parasolid. The I-deas ---> UG merge should yield a ugnx product with parasolid kernel. Ug will pick up some of i-deas positive traits, and I-deas will die.
It is true we can export a parasolid/xpk file to ug, but it is not always perfect because it is a conversion
