ANVIL-5000®

ANVIL-5000® is a modular 3-D CADD/CAM/CAE software system for mechanical engineering. Wireframe, surface and solids modeling, parametric modeling, parametric drafting, geometric analysis, finite-element pre and post-processing, and numerical control are completely integrated into one double-precision database as well as robust automated tool path verification (ANVIL-Verify). Because ANVIL-5000 is modular, users can start with a stand-alone wireframe modeling and drafting system, then grow into a networked, full-featured system without affecting their database or their initial software investment. Because ANVIL-5000 is integrated, users can access any function at any time during the work session, without having to copy, translate, or re-input data. The user interface features both icons and menus. The icons can be programmed, redesigned, or both. Multiple sets of icons can be stored for immediate recall when needed. Menus can be configured by the user, adding, dropping or re-arranging items. Custom applications written in GRAPL-IV and Extended GRAPL-IV (MCS' Applications programming language) can be added to the menus or icons and run as if they were standard functions.
