This is a more\nsophisticated process than operating on faceted parts, as there are many more\ngeometry types and configurations involved in computing contact-based motion on\nfull solid parts. The benefits are substantial, including the direct simulation\nof motion on parts with a geometric accuracy that is suitable for engineering\napplications, rather than visualization or entertainment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest release sees improvements\nto the algorithms used to calculate the initial contacts when bodies first\ncollide in preparation for ongoing performance improvements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About D-Cubed AEM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D-Cubed AEM (Assembly Engineering Manager) is a\nsoftware component that enables applications to simulate the motion of\nassemblies and mechanisms.
