Rendering tools: Ability to access rendering tools (lighting tools, texture mapping, custom material creation, etc.)

File Import: Import and export files in a number of different formats.
Push/Pull: Ability to push or pull the surface of your model in order to get the desired shape.
Views: View your model from any angle while you design and edit.
Grips: Tools that enable users to reshape, move or manipulate geometry.

Annotate: Annotate your designs with various notes and tags.
Documentation: Generate 2D drawings of your 3D models.
Data Extract: Extract information from objects, such as attributes and properties.

Discrete event modeling: Ability to model discrete event simulation such as analyzing event-driven system models and optimizing performance characteristics such as latency, throughput, and packet loss.
Continuous event modeling: Ability to model continous event simulation
Mechanical event simulation: Ability to conduct mechanical event simulation
Manufacturing process simulation: Ability to model a manufacturing processes like casting, molding and die press forming
Integrate: Ability to integrate with CAD and PLM software

Hardware support: Ability to support a sufficient number of hardware developers (by default or through the use of custom drivers).
Task: Support for custom interfaces designed around specific design tasks, by default (out of the box) or through user customization.
Manage Multiple Profiles: Support for multiple user interface customizations. Can store and recall interfaces as required by a specific user without closing the application and without the need for scripting knowledge.
Command Clarity: Names of basic commands are clear and easy to understand. On-cursor documentation, such as tool tips and pop-up descriptions, provide clarification of icons and other user interface elements.
