. Amongst features T-FLEX offers support for various CAD formats and diverse localizations.

Functionality

T-FLEX CAD provides parametric, adaptive and associative technology aimed at family-of-parts manufacturers or other design situations that use similar geometry but require many different sizes or permutations. Entities and their parameters in T-FLEX CAD can be related to each other.
