Product: ABAQUS/CAE
Benefits: You can use the 3Dconnexion motion controllers to manipulate the view of your model in ABAQUS/CAE and to work more efficiently.
Description: 3Dconnexion manufactures a variety of view manipulation devices that are popular with users of CAE and CAD systems. One example of their devices is the SpaceBall that is illustrated in Figure 2–7.
You can use the 3Dconnexion motion controllers in conjunction with the mouse to work with ABAQUS/CAE. You can manipulate the view of your model with one hand on the motion controller while using the mouse to select from the model with the other hand.
In addition, ABAQUS/CAE provides a set of “Application Functions” that are available through the standard 3Dconnexion user interface. These functions provide shortcuts to the view manipulation, view, and display tools. You can map these functions to the programmable buttons that are built into the 3Dconnexion motion controllers.
