VRCONTEXT has released a converter for SolidWorks 2007 and 2008 which allows users to walk through SolidWorks models in real time.
The converter allows the Walkinside visualisation tool to be used in the SolidWorks software, and may be used to give non-CAD users a way to share and review design data.
According to the software developer, Walkinside is fast and allows designers to effectively present their work to customers. By converting designed buildings such as plants through the software, customers and designers can experience the size and layout of the plant and equipment by “walking through” it.
Walkinside is able to link 3D virtual reality models to external operational databases. The current version is said to have a faster and more intuitive navigation of large assets, with online virtualisation tools compatible with low-end workstations.
