Compare CivilARCH editions features

CivilARCH comes in four different editions: Standard, Professional, Ultimate and a YExp. Standard and Professional Edition includes wireframe curves, dimensions, point clouds, meshes and basic CAD exchange file import/export. Ultimate Edition adds nurbs curves and surfaces, manifold BRep and advanced CAD exchange files import/export. It also includes polyhedral object booleans, manifold BRep booleans and Finite Element Analysis. Trial edition has all the features, only that license and the product espires yearly.
