BlankWorks 4.0 is released

BlankWorks version 4.0 for SOLIDWORKS 2008/2009 is now available:

What’s new:

• New ability to unfold geometry onto another complex 3D surface (support surface)
• Added the ability to unfold partial geometry while maintaining connection with the rest of the part
• BlankWorks now uses FTI’s powerful Coupled Hybrid Inverse (CHI) solver
• New automatic mesh generation
• Mesh offset is no longer required. Instead, the thickness direction is specified in the property manager

I don’t know about you, but I have been waiting for the Coupled Hybrid Inverse solver for months!
