Solid Modeling Solutions is pleased to announce SMLib 2.0. SMLib 2.0 introduces an extensive set of capabilities for the construction of multi-surface and solid based fillets and blends. This fillet functionality is based on an Object Oriented Filleting Framework that is designed to enable the user to easily extend and customize the filleting process by maintaining the basic topological and geometric information. The second set of major enhancements included in this release are the performance improvements to surface/surface intersection and as a result the improved performance of the complex Merge and Boolean operators.

• Topology Intersection and Insertion - added ability to intersect two bodies and insert intersection topology into each.
• Surface-Based Filleting - generate fillet surface between two trimmed surfaces.
• Topology Based Filleting - generate the fillet surface and insert it into the non-manifold topological structure of the SMLib boundary representation.
• Addition of Analytically Assisted NURBS - improves performance and accuracy of intersections.
• Linear Motion Collision Detection - detects first contact point along a vector between two bodies.
• Procedural Surface Offset - offset defined as original surface with offset distance.
• Multi-loop Curve Offset - simultaneous offsetting and trimming of multiple loops.
• Mirror Operator - added Mirror operator for curves, surfaces, trimmed surfaces and solids.

SMLib is released as C and C++ source code and is certified for Windows, NT, Unix, and Linux platforms. SMLib continues to be licensed for $2000/month for internal use at one site or $2500/month for use at one development site with unlimited external distribution rights for the resultant applications without payment of any per seat royalty fees. All enhancements and full unlimited support are included in the monthly fees.
