T-Flex CAD CAM software offers a unique proprietary vector construction method for creating feature profiles. Constraints can be assigned either implicitly, "on the fly" or explicitly from context-sensitive right-mouse-button options and T-Flex's powerful relation and expression language. A full library of 2D and 3D standard parts and common geometry can be fully customized, including the user defined input dialogues and external database connectivity. T-Flex is a hybrid parametric modeller, allowing free-form manipulation of both parametric solids and surfaces. SolidWorks SLDPRT files, Solid Edge .PAR, Autodesk Inventor and many other legacy models can be read directly into the software. T-Flex offers a simple open-architecture, multiple-document interface (MDI) and is available in multiple languages.
