CadWolf Modules

Five components that work together to provide a complete STEM solution and management platform.

CadWolf's Five Components

CadWolf uses five components to provide a complete STEM solution and management platform

Five Components

Our components link the design and coordination of large structures directly to CAD models

CadWolf has five main types of web pages — Documents, Workspaces, Datasets, and Part Trees. These components work in concert to provide a platform that encompasses all facets of the engineering process.

Documents are where users create web pages that have text, equations, plots, and many other things. Workspaces act as folders. Datasets provide a method for users to import data, and part trees link everything together for a new level of functionality.

Document Features

CadWolf documents have a wide array of features

Unit Tracking

Equations in documents track units like meters, seconds, etc, and solve accordingly

Full Charting Suite

Line, spline, bar, column, heat maps, and several other charts available

3D Charts

3D point clouds, surface maps, and line charts are also available

Built‑in Functions

Wide range of built‑in functions like trig, statistical tools, an FFT, and an ODE solver

Mathematically Proper Display

When an equation solves, it shows in the proper mathematical format with integration symbols, etc

Permission Structure

Documents can be set so that users can read, use, or edit them

Programming Structures

Add for loops, while loops, and if/else statements alongside equations

Files as Functions

Documents can be pulled into other documents and used as functions

Teams

Create teams, add users to them, and then give permissions to those teams

Interactive Controls

Use sliders, select boxes, and radio boxes as variables in CadWolf documents

Export Data to CAD

Push data to Onshape documents to drive component design

Import Data from CAD

Pull in data such as mass and volume from Onshape documents to be used in CadWolf documents

Module Features

How the CadWolf modules integrate to form a complete system

Simultaneous Analysis and Documentation

  • Documents have text, equations, charts, etc
  • Functions as both a Word document and program
  • Analysis and documentation can never get out of sync
  • Line by line mathematics similar to Excel

Integrated Mathematics and CAD

  • Link to the Onshape and Fusion 360 platforms
  • CadWolf equations drive CAD dimensions
  • Weight, mass, etc read from CAD into documents
  • Embed thumbnails of CAD parts into documents

Coordinate Engineering Tasks

  • Part trees coordinate the design of large structures
  • Permissions system lets users view / use items
  • Datasets provide for the storage and use of data
  • Ensures identical work environments — web browsers

CadWolf's Relation to CAD

CadWolf documents are spaces for users to solve and document the mathematics of designing components. In the document pictured here, the height and thickness of the vertical risers in the fitting are designed based upon the design load and tensile strength of the material. The diameter of the bolt is also established.

When a requirement or design factor such as the load changes, the math automatically updates. These CadWolf equations are then automatically sent from this document to an Onshape document or Fusion 360 file.
