Technology Overview
This invention introduces a sophisticated system aimed at obscuring sensitive engineering data, such as FEA models or CAD parts, in multi-user CAD environments to prevent unauthorized access or modification. By controlling permissions, the system ensures the protection of critical information, particularly when involving third parties, by restricting access to certain features or data segments.
Key Advantages
- Enhanced protection of sensitive engineering data against unauthorized viewing or manipulation
- Innovative use of three key dimensions (Domain, Range, Dimension 3) for precise management of restrictions and permissions
- Visual suppression and spatial view clipping for improved data security within multi-user CAD projects
- Ability to tailor restrictions to individual users or teams, offering flexible and secure collaboration
Problems Addressed
- Prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information in multi-user CAD environments
- Addresses gaps in existing technology regarding visualization and data protection
- Facilitates secure sharing of CAD models within supply chains or during design reviews without exposing proprietary information
Market Applications
- Integration into CAD software by developers for enhanced data security features
- Secure collaboration tools for design companies and their supply chains
- Protection of proprietary and sensitive information in engineering projects across various industries
