EnSight CAD importers allow you to access native CAD files without the use of the original CAD system. Importers allow you to open and read files from the major CAD systems, display the major CAD files, and export these files into EnSight's EnLiten .els and Reveal .csf file formats.

In its latest release of EnSight, CEI has added several newly supported CAD formats to our previous support for .stl, .iv., and .obj formats.  We have leveraged technology from CAD market leader, Dassault Systemes’ Spatial, to ensure the quality of CAD file conversion for its CAD file importers. There are additional fees to access this improved technology.  Click here for the CAD reader price list.

Uses for CAD models:

• Walk through industrial plans and facilities with EnSight's spline controlled cameras
• Add context to a simulation model using the CAD model rather than a simplified mesh
• Animate the movements of a CAD assembly using EnSight's keyframe animation
• Compare a CAD model to a simplified simulation mesh
• Display CAD models on your Virtual Reality CAVE or PowerWall for team reviews

List of new CAD Importers:
