iBASEt’s Conrad Leiva, Vice President of Product Marketing and Alliances, will give a presentation at PTC Live Global on “The 3D Model-Based Enterprise Value Chain - Integrating Manufacturing, Suppliers and Aftermarket Services” on Tuesday, June 17 at 4:45 p.m. at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, room 105. Today’s marketplace demands faster new product introduction, better orchestration of the supply chain and higher quality standards. To achieve all these goals in industries with highly complex products it is necessary to have tight integration and streamline the change management processes across the extended value chain for the entire product lifecycle. These change management processes include managing the transitions from engineering BOMs to manufacturing BOMs to process plans to work in process, managing product characteristics tied to inspection plans, and managing product configurations for upgrades and modifications performed during MRO. Processes discussed include engineering change management, engineering change requests, engineering disposition for non-conformances and

Altair announced its 2014 Global Altair Technology Conference (ATC) and ATCx Series today. ATC events will continue to cover a wide array of topics, industries, and computer-aided engineering domain areas, and last for two to three days. The new ATCx designation has been created for smaller, focused one-day events that offer more depth in a specific topic and/or industry. ATCx topics to be explored include aerospace, multiphysics, lightweighting, energy, automotive, marine, heavy industry/machinery, shipbuilding, marine/offshore, and defense. In addition, several locations will also offer concurrent student seminars, bringing together academic researchers and industry practitioners to share best practices and lessons learned. Flagship ATC events will be held June 24-26 in Germany, July 10-11 in China, and July 17-18 in Japan. Presenters from leading companies will showcase their experiences and successes leveraging Altair tools for design and product development. The latest trends, developments, and applications in the field of simulation-driven design and optimization
