2. Validate

Check your full design against the ASME Y14.5 Standard, using F4’s Drawing Validation Engine.

We detect hundreds of kinds of common GD&T errors — without using AI.

F4 gives designers more confidence in their drawings and saves many painstaking hours of review and redlining.

3. Analyze

F4 performs a wide range of engineering analyses to help you understand your design beyond simple syntax.
