SurfaceWorks is an add-on product to SolidWorks Corporation's 3D solid modeling application which synergistically combines solid and surface modeling for mechanical engineering and industrial design. SurfaceWorks enables SolidWorks users to model surfaces which would be difficult or impossible to model with SolidWorks. The SurfaceWorks user will be able to incorporate SurfaceWorks surfaces into the design of SolidWorks parts and maintain 100% editability.

SurfaceWorks is a Windows native application that runs on PCs and is fully associative with SolidWorks.

SurfaceWorks is based on Relational Geometry, AeroHydro's revolutionary, patented surfacing engine. AeroHydro pioneered CAD software for designing ships and boats more than 25 years ago, and continues to develop sophisticated surfacing applications for the CAD industry.

SurfaceWorks leverages AeroHydro's many years of experience developing high-end surface modeling technology. It combines AeroHydro's industrial strength surface modeling technology with SolidWorks' world-class solid modeling which results in an unprecedented combination of powerful, easy-to-use industrial design software.

• Accurate, durable joins between surfaces.
• Parametric variation: MultiSurf updates the entire model when you change underlying objects.
• A surface for every purpose: 30 surface types let you use the right surface for every aspect of your design (not limited to NURBS like other applications).
• Fairing tools: curvature profile and surface curvatures displays help you refine your design.

Export: DXF, IGES, POV-Ray rendering files, VRML; to AeroHydro programs: MSDEV developable plate expansion, MSPLEX compound-curved plate expansion, HYDRO hydrostatics, OFE offset file editor, AHVPP sailboat performance analysis.

Import: DXF, IGES; FL/2B, Autoship, MaxSurf, FastYacht files.

General calculations: weight schedule, mass properties, angles, clearance, distance of points.

Special marine design tools: upright hydrostatics, ship lines, offset files.

There are some demos. You can find them here.
