Cooperation with CADENAS boosts efficiency in construction processes

CADENAS is called "The Innovation Company"– and justifiably so. Innovation is one of the most important success factors, driving the competitiveness of customers. The German company recognized this already more than 25 years ago. This is also why CADENAS and XEOMETRIC are an excellent match. We share the same mindset in our product development: a clear focus on innovation and usability for the benefit of the customer. Hence, we are pleased about the cooperation between our companies that has enabled us to provide the useful add-on ELITECAD PARTS by CADENAS.
Targeting efficiency and productivity
Many companies are facing considerable efforts for searching and configuring purchased parts, sometimes even reproducing them in detail for their own engineering projects. CADENAS detected the enormous potential for productivity improvements in this context already in 1992 and met it with strategic parts management and electronic CAD product catalogs. Today, the company is one of the leading software suppliers in this sector, providing industry and CAD manufacturers with efficient solutions.

By mid 2018 XEOMETRIC and CADENAS decided to collaborate with the objective of making the handling of 2D and 3D third-party data in ELITECAD Mechanics more comfortable and likewise speeding up design and construction processes. Since 2020, the additional module ELITECAD PARTS by CADENAS also enables our ELITECAD Architecture 15 users to plan their building models efficiently in great detail thanks to the easy access to millions of CAD library parts.

We are delighted to have a competent and renowned partner like CADENAS at our side, fully sharing our innovative mindset. This great collaboration is an ideal basis for useful features that will generate added value for ELITECAD customers.

ELITECAD PARTS by CADENAS for Architecture


The parts4cad plug-in already featured in ELITECAD Mechanics is now also avaiblable in ELITECAD Architecture 15. Through the direct integration, it is now possible to load millions of CAD objects by accessing the latest product information of internationally renowned manufacturers. Using the new ELITECAD PARTS by CADENAS module the 2D and 3D data can be easily imported, which saves precious time and at the same time provides detailed information for the finished model.

In addition, the imported data from the module is more than just a simple library part. With a double click on the object, a configuration dialog opens and shows the current configuration and parameters. This makes it possible to perform adjustments later on and change component variations or the level of detail, in order to perfectly integrate manufacturer parts into the ELITECAD project.
