This is a more sophisticated process than operating on faceted parts, as there are many more geometry types and configurations involved in computing contact-based motion on full solid parts. The benefits are substantial, including the direct simulation of motion on parts with a geometric accuracy that is suitable for engineering applications, rather than visualization or entertainment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest release sees improvements to the algorithms used to calculate the contacts when bodies collide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About D-Cubed AEM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>D-Cubed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/en\/products\/plm-components\/aem.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AEM<\/a> (Assembly Engineering Manager) is a software component that enables applications to simulate the motion of assemblies and mechanisms.
