The 2025 1.0.1 release delivers expanded functionality designed to streamline manufacturing and simulation workflows. Key highlights include a new custom feature detection API in ACIS for more efficient model simplification, expanded CAD format support—including STEP AP242 PMI writing—and continued enhancements to hidden-body removal. With this release, Spatial reduces manual tasks, increases fidelity in geometry translation, and strengthens its toolset for automated design-to-manufacture and design-to-simulation pipelines.

  • Custom Feature Detection (Beta): Model simplification often requires manual and repetitive tasks by end-users. This capability allows end-users to define a custom feature and automatically detect other instances of it in the model.
  • Panel Ray Fire: Instead of firing individual rays, your application can use this new interface to define an array of rays in a structured rectangular pattern, which significantly boosts performance.
  • Skinning Enhancements: Optimized algorithms reduce twists and self-intersections to deliver cleaner, more accurate output surfaces.
