**KNOXVILLE, Tenn., April 4, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX- **ModernTech, the leading value-added reseller of 3D CAD and Engineering Technology for manufacturers in the Southeast, announces the recent partnership with Anark Corporation. Anark is a leading provider of automated 3D CAD transformation and product visualization solutions and has developed a new 3D Model Based Enterprise (MBE) capability, Anark Core MBEWorks(TM), which integrates into SolidWorks.

MBEWorks allows SolidWorks' users to dramatically reduce the costs associated with communicating dimension and tolerance information to their internal organizations, suppliers and customers by replacing redundant, hard to interpret and expensive 2D drawings with a single, complete and easy to interpret 3D Model Based Definition (MBD) document.

With MBEWorks you can easily turn your SolidWorks 3D Parts, Assemblies with 3D Dimension and Tolerance data into 3D MBE Technical Data Packages (TDPs), Requests for Quotes, Digital Work Instructions, Inspection Documents and other 3D PDF and 3D HTML based manufacturing process documents.

"Anark Corporation has some very exciting technology that will significantly enhance the communication of CAD data throughout the enterprise, and provide a compelling 3D MBE solution for our Department of Defense-related customers," says Jon Carlton, Vice President of ModernTech.

MBEWorks is perfect for communicating within the Department of Defense to comply with the DOD Product data strategy outlined in MIL-STD-31000 by creating and consuming 3D MBE Technical Data Packages and 3D MBE Manufacturing Process documents.

Anark will rely on ModernTech to promote, train, and support its MBE Technology throughout the Southeastern United States. This new partnership will kick off with a free webinar from ModernTech and Anark on Thursday, April 19.
