Have you ever had to re-create a CAD model inside of MAX/VIZ? Power Translators is the answer to get those CAD models and assemblies into MAX or VIZ with the push of a button. Power Translators reads IGES, STEP, SAT, and Rhino and creates a “BrepObject” to represent the precise geometry defined in these files.
Power Translators reads IGES, STEP, SAT, and Rhino and creates a “BrepObject” to represent the precise geometry defined in these files. It can then create a mesh at render time to a specified user defined tolerance relative to the size of the object in the image. For example, a tolerance of 1/2 Pixel will produce an extremely high quality image with very smooth edges that do not have polygonal artifacts. The “BrepObject” introduced by Power Translators can have materials applied at the sub-object level and is able to utilize most MAX Meshmodifiers (twist, UVMap, etc.).

Filed Under Software Watch
ROBOT Millennium Freeware is a variant of the world renowned ROBOT Millennium software.Registration is a simple process after which Robobat will send the user a password to use the software. ROBOT Millennium Freeware is a powerful application that will allow users to analyze:
- 2D and 3D multi material frame structures with up to 200 members
- FE plates and shells - walls, floors and surfaces with up to 1500 nodes
- Section libraries from around the world
- Access to the ROBOT API to allow users to integrate their own applications
- Bi-directional link to Revit® Structure
- Linear analysis, English language support
In fact ROBOT Millennium Freeware will provide a solution for the engineer to carry out much of their everyday analysis work.
Commenting on the launch of ROBOT Millennium Freeware, Gary Wyatt, Sales & Marketing Director of Robobat, commented: “We are pleased to offer this free solution to Engineers and we know that they will make great practical use of this powerful application. When we were formulating our plans for ROBOT Millennium Freeware it was our goal to produce something highly relevant to the engineers work, not just a gimmick version or short term evaluation or money refunded if not satisfied offer, but rather a real, powerful piece of software for real projects. And that is what we have delivered with ROBOT Millennium Freeware.
Naturally our hope is that satisfied users will then wish to explore additional aspects of ROBOT Millennium not covered by the freeware, such as multi code steel and concrete design, advanced FE analysis, cables, P-Delta, non linear and dynamic analysis - the upgrade to various commercial versions of ROBOT Millennium will be available to freeware users with an attractive pricing policy”.
Robobat reserves its non-disputable right to issue the freeware licence at its own discretion.
