HiCAD neXt, the new generation of HiCAD's CAD software is the 2 in 1 CAD system with the unique 2-D/3-D universality, innovative functions, integrated branch solutions and PDM component. HiCAD neXtoffers a consistent realisation of the idea of a context sensitive user guidance -from the operating surface to the start centre. Thus reducing the period of vocational adjustment, cutting the training costs and enabling you to be productive right from the start.

Modern working techniques and numerous automatisms will help youto tighten routine processes. Possible collisions of your product models can already be recognised and corrected during product development with the help of the simulation and analysis functions. Thus increasing product quality and decreasing costs during product development.

You can always keep track, even in complex scenes, which often reach a size of more than 10,000 parts today. Responsible is the innovative Information + Communication Navigator (ICN). It visualises all information of the product model parallel to the design: from the structure via the component characteristics to the model and production views.

HiCAD neXt-Getting into the new CAD dimensions!
to fulfil your needs in 2-D, 3-D, Sheet Metal, Steel Engineering, Piping/Plant Design & PDM/PLM

Developed by ISD Software und SystemeGmbH, Germanyin the year 1977.

Specialities of HiCAD neXtsoftware

• Is based on ESM kernel (European Solid Modeller) –ISD’sown 3 –D core.
• Reduced process Steps.
• Model and the detailed drawing on single screen helps easy visualization.
• Unique 2 D / 3 D integration –easy migration of 2D to 3D
• One scene for part model, drawing, sheet metal, steel & piping and a small file size.
• Sheet metal assembly and code generation for laser cutting, bending simulation etc.
• The fast way from 2-D development to 3-D sheet metal part & automatic take over of 2-D layouts.
