Overview

ASFALIS is the interconnecting solution that allows a user to communicate smoothly and improve productivity in all companies and departments involved in an entire product’s lifecycle management. ASFALIS makes it possible to automate preparation of 3D data for various purposes by connecting every process stage and department in an entire product lifecycle through the exchange of all product information stored in 3D-CAD data via ENF.
 
‘ENF’, an acronym for Elysium Neutral File, is a unique intermediate file format that acts as the core of ASFALIS. ENF holds not only geometry information but also 3D annotation and attribute information, as they are indispensable for utilization of the 3D data in the manufacturing process. ASFALIS supports viewing and translating of fully-annotated 3D drawing data by the combined presence of ASFALIS Adapter and ENF.
 
3D-CAD data includes very rich product information, and many process stages in product lifecycle management require that information in 3D-CAD data to automate each process. For example, attributes and annotations are always essential for the communication of manufacturing requirements. Precise information of a product’s component parts is required for creating service or assembly manuals.
 
ASFALIS offers the interface that enables cooperation between various 3D tools, web systems, and each ASFALIS component. It also provides the scripting language that controls the processing flow. ASFALIS’s CANVAS Script is the scripting language used to specify translation and optimization procedures performing with ASFALIS Adapters and Optimizers. CANVAS API and CANVAS Script allow users to create original applications and solutions, like a web based multi user data translation system, and also enable them to integrate ASFALIS into their PLM system.

Advantages

1. Enterprise-wide Product Data Link

Wide variations and high reliability in 3D data translation allow the building of enterprise-wide product data exchange solutions to link all stages and units in product lifecycle management. ASFALIS is proud of its flexibility and easy-to-use interface.
ASFALIS is a process controller. ASFALIS Desktop, the simple front-end application of ASFALIS, provides basic operations to define a wizard scenario for data translation and optimization, and executes the scenario as a single task or schedules a batch execution at night.

2. High Quality 3D Data Translation

Like our other products, ASFALIS prides itself on the quality of its output. Elysium’s lengthy experience in 3D data translation and unique geometry checking and healing technology ensure extremely high quality 3D data translation. Every CAD user will realize the benefits of Elysium products over inferior translation tools.

3. Scalable Architecture

Combining necessary components of ASFALIS effectively provides users with the optimum system for their 3D design management and manufacturing processes. The scalable framework feature enables users to build suitable solutions from standalone applications to enterprise-wide systems.
