Windows and Mac OS X
Shark FX v7 is available on both Windows and Mac OS X platforms. The Mac OS X version is a universal binary natively supporting PPC and Intel based Macs and runs on OS 10.4 and higher. The Windows version is certified compatible with Windows 7 and works with both Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Ease Of Use
While many packages claim ease of use, few actually deliver. Shark not only delivers unprecedented usability, but provides an uncompromised, extensive set of 2D/3D design tools. Shark has been designed, from the ground up, to be intuitive for the casual user as well as the professional engineer. Keys to the innovative user interface include smart prompting and tips, intelligent snapping through LogiCursor, and over 80 minutes of training videos. Install Shark and design your first precision part within minutes!
Complete Design Solution
Shark is the industry's first modeling application totally focused on conceptual and preliminary design for those requiring precision content for 2D/3D digital models. Shark is a full featured package uniquely positioned to provide solutions that address versatile modeling practices, photorealistic rendering, animation, and precision drafting capabilities all within one seamlessly integrated package.
State Of The Art Technology
Shark supports an integrated collection of 2D, 3D, surface, and solid modeling tools. You choose the tools or combination of tools you need for the task at hand. Notable tools include numerous spline creation and modification commands, seventeen surface construction methods, blending, chamfering, shelling, stretching, twisting, bending, and foreign part editing tools. All surface and solid modeling operations transparently support associativity and a history tree for rapid design modifications.
Share Data With AutoCAD, CATIA, and PRO/E
Unlike facetted based conceptual design packages, Shark uses a precise kernel that facilitates the sharing of data using IGES, STEP, and AutoCAD DXF/DWG file formats. Shark also supports reading native CATIA v4 and PRO/E Wildfire parts and assemblies as well as SAT for sharing with SolidWorks.
Cost Effective Solution
Shark provides a complete design solution with access to over 680 commands for curve, surface, solid modeling, drafting, and photorealistic rendering at a fraction of the price of competitors. Now you can have all the power without all of the cost.
