SIMILIA

SIMILIA is a search solution software developed by SIMUFORM Search Solutions GmbH. According to the vendor, it is designed to facilitate efficient and targeted searches for 2D and 3D data, along with associated attributes, metadata, and engineering data. The software includes a powerful search engine and advanced search functionalities that aim to improve productivity and efficiency for professionals in engineering, manufacturing, design, product development, and the automotive industry. SIMILIA is said to be suitable for businesses of all sizes looking to streamline their data search and visualization processes.

Easy Combination of Search Functions: According to the vendor, SIMILIA allows users to easily combine search functions, enabling efficient and targeted searches across multiple systems and data sources.

Powerful & Modern Full-text Search Engine: The software includes a powerful and modern full-text search engine that, according to the vendor, allows users to search their data repository with flexibility and simplicity, similar to internet search engines.

3D Search Engine & Similarity Search: SIMILIA provides a 3D search engine and similarity search feature, which, according to the vendor, allows users to find similar articles and components within their entire data inventory without the need for classification or pre-defining parts.

Accessible Multi-CAD Visualization: The software offers a CAD viewer that supports multi-CAD formats, allowing users to visualize 3D models without the need for specific CAD software. It also enables the overlay of similar components for easy comparison and identification of geometric differences, according to the vendor.

User-friendly Concept: SIMILIA is designed with an "easy-to-use" concept, according to the vendor, ensuring user-friendly navigation and intuitive operations. It allows for seamless integration and efficient utilization of external 3D data through simple drag-and-drop functionality.

Segment Search & Power Functions: The software includes a segment search feature that enables users to mark specific segment areas in 3D models and find similar geometries in other models. According to the vendor, this powerful function does not require additional metadata and can be applied to individual parts or assemblies.

System-independent Connector Technology for CAD, PDM, PLM & ERP: SIMILIA offers a system-independent connector technology that, according to the vendor, allows seamless integration with various CAD, PDM, PLM, and ERP systems, regardless of the heterogeneity of the IT landscape. It ensures easy installation, operation, and robust performance.

Direct Visualization of 2D Drawing Derivatives to 3D Data: According to the vendor, SIMILIA enables users to directly visualize 2D drawing derivatives and associated documents for a specific component or assembly, without the need for CAD, PDM, ERP, or other licenses. This feature is particularly useful for CNC programming and work preparation.

Direct Search from CAD System: SIMILIA allows users to find the appropriate parts directly from their CAD system, enabling them to search for similar components and assemblies in their inventory while defining their current design. According to the vendor, users can refine their search using available attributes.
