Use a single dataset and pipeline for surface modeling

Alias® 2020 industrial design software offers a unified hybrid modeling solution with integrated SUBD modeling paradigms.

Automate complex tasks with computational design tools

Create and reuse computational templates across the design and surfacing teams, capturing and reusing surfacing language.Integrate Dynamo with Alias to create custom algorithms to process data and generate geometry.Drive design changes via parametric constraints.

Transform designs with enhanced surface modeling tools

Maximize design results with core surfacing tools, including offset and new time-saving tools such as corner blend.Use Alias enhancements, such as VR, to accelerate collaboration across teams and geographies.

What’s new in Alias 2020

New subdivision modeling tools

The addition of subdivision surfaces to Alias integrates the strengths of adaptive subdivision with native NURBS surface technology.

Layer operations

You now have the option to copy/paste a layer within a folder to be outside or inside of the original folder structure.

File > Share view

You can now disable the share view option using an environment variable.

New draw style options

To support the new subdivision features, we added draw style options for the subdivision surface geometry and control cage manipulator.

Save file author options You can now save the file author information under the save information section when saving or exporting a file.
Pick behavior improvements You can now pick a curve by selecting on a hull or CV; you are no longer required to select directly on the curve during pick operations for certain tools.

Concept design and fast concept modeling

Flexible product modeling Fast, repeatable, curve-based modeling tools let you directly edit and sculpt 3D models.
Layer operations You now have the option to copy/paste a layer within a folder to be outside or inside of the original folder structure.
Photoshop live link Sketches from Photoshop can be linked to Alias. Changes to sketches are dynamically updated in Alias.
Look around Fly to a point of interest immediately; enable immediate navigation to a point in the design.
Improved color assignment for layers Random custom color assignments for layers and layer folders.
Customized clutch keys Define clutch key assignments.
View options in Curve Planarize Add view options in the Curve Planarize.
Surface fillet improvements Add the option of Inter Continuity and Inter Tangent Angle checking in surface fillets.
Skin tool options Add the Shape option in the Skin 2012 tool to control the CV layout of the Skin surface section.
Variable degree surface fillets You have the ability to have a variable degree in fillet surfaces.
Dynamic shape modeling Quickly manipulate your product model and explore shape variations on 3D forms without rebuilding geometry.
3D sculpting 3D sculpt surfaces by directly adjusting surface control vertices. Use curve-based tools, direct modeling, and more.

Detailed design and surface analysis

Deck seam Deck seam (similar to a flat fell seam) has been added to the Stitch and Seam tool.
Mathematically precise surface creation Access tools that help you create mathematical shapes. For example, control pitch with the Revolve tool, and more.
Multiblend tool Make smooth transitions between surfaces.
Light ray effects and reflections Study your surfaces in a virtual lighting studio with the Light Tunnel tool.
Computational Design Quickly generate complex repeatable patterns and enable rapid design iterations and exploration.
Automatic arrays of shapes Simplify uniform and non-uniform objects, using arrays. Create arrays of lines and surfaces in 2D and 3D.
Stitches and seams Automatically create stitches and seams.
Surface chain select tool Select a chain of surfaces with one pick.
Shading in clay Temporarily change your shaders to a clay material. When you're finished, your model goes back to its original form.
Surface evaluation Get more accurate feedback on surface model quality.
VRED NURBS surface analysis Achieve more accurate, native spline definition analysis.

Surface modeling and Class-A surfacing

New subdivision modeling tools The addition of subdivision surfaces to Alias integrates the strengths of adaptive subdivision with native NURBS surface technology.
Global refit Refit your digital model to the changed physical model.
Scan data workflows: surface from mesh Create a surface on mesh with 1 of 3 surface types.
Improved Surface from Mesh tool Update original data with scanned clay data.
Precision surface modeling Create Class-A surfaces with speed and control.
Automated surface creation and editing Perform multiple operations with a single tool.
Multicurve profile input Profile tools provide an advanced way to work with surfaces, such as rotating a profile to a target surface.
Efficient Multisurface Fillet tool Speed up the process from factor to surface fillet.
Intelligent form factor capability Define ratios with Form Factor tools.
Scan data workflows: mesh selection techniques Use an expanded mesh selection toolset.
Offset tool Offset command ensues that offset CV layout quality is maintained, enabling a semiautomated, time-saving workflow.

Design communication and product visualization

Save file author options You can now save the file author information under the save information section when saving or exporting a file.
Pick behavior improvements You can now pick a curve by selecting on a hull or CV; you are no longer required to select directly on the curve during pick operations for certain tools.
File > Share view You can now disable the share view option using an environment variable.
Virtual reality with Alias Enhance design reviews with virtual reality. Explore your design to scale using an HMD in VR.
Interactive product visualization Evaluate design options with real-time visualizations. Use shading models, apply color, add texture, and more.
Compelling photorealistic renderings Visualize your product with high-resolution imagery.
Convenient data exchange Share industrial design data with mechanical design and CAD software, including Inventor, CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, and many others.
VRED compatibility Quickly convert Alias files to VRED software for 3D visualization.
Interoperability with other tools Interoperability helps streamline operations with other products used in the design process, such as cutters, meshers, and more.
Switch between shading assignments Easily switch between color combinations.
Variant configuration sets Capture your current view to return to it easily.

ACADEMIC STORE REVIEWS

Robert, US
I appreciate the help the support team provided with the installation on my computer. The tech spent well over three hours trying to get the product installed and the licensing handled. We went through numerous restarts and they always responded promptly after I sent a password for the remote access to my computer. I will highly recommend your company to others for software purchase. Thanks again.
Curtis Moreland, US
I am happy to say that my computer has the product I purchased and is working well. Thank you so much for caring and following up. I will be a repeat customer just for that :)
Bob, DE
Support was very helpful in installing the program I bought. The person stayed with me until the program was succesfully installed.
