Silicon Graphics and Autodesk have entered into a relationship that will bring a powerful solution for 3D design to every mechanical designer's and engineer's desktop. The objective of the agreement is to ensure autoCAD mechanical and mechanical desktop users get the best graphics performance on the market with the introduction of the new Silicon Graphics 320 and Silicon Graphics 540 visual workstations. The workstations, with stunning performance, are perfectly suited for three-dimensional, graphics-intensive software environments as users find with Mechanical Desktop software. This software has quickly established itself as the industry's most popular parametric feature-based solid, assembly and surface modelling solution for mechanical design on the PC. With more than 100,000 seats of Mechanical Desktop software purchased in its first 32 months of availability, the software has proven itself to be the 3D design tool of choice in engineering departments worldwide.
