Ansys announced it will offer advanced data processing and visualization capabilities, powered by integrations with NVIDIA Omniverse within select products, starting with Fluent and AVxcelerate Sensors. These integrations will streamline simulation processes by automating manual data preparation and enabling high-fidelity models for deeper insights. This reduces the need for simulation experts to translate results to decision makers, product stakeholders, and potential customers. Preparing large volumes of data for simulation entails ensuring its quality, interoperability, and flexibility. This typically means users are working across multiple software programs to prepare parameters for just one simulation model. Moreover, once the model is parametrized, additional specialized tools and expertise are often required for visualization. By leveraging Omniverse technologies, Ansys software facilitates interoperability, scalability, and modularity of 3D scene data within a rich, open ecosystem. Integrating Omniverse technologies with Ansys products will enable customers to easily prepare simulation data — particularly useful for AVxcelerate Sensors applications. Ansys users can render

TrimbleⓇ and PTx Trimble announced the availability of Trimble IonoGuard™ for the precision agriculture industry. IonoGuard is a next-generation technology engineered to enhance RTK GNSS signal tracking and hardware positioning performance. IonoGuard helps ensure more reliable and accurate positioning by reducing the risk of signal loss and maintaining signal integrity during challenging ionospheric conditions. Every 11 years, solar activity peaks, causing ionospheric disturbances such as scintillation and signal noise that can result in unreliable positioning. Solar Cycle 25, which began in 2024 and is expected to last through 2026, could pose significant challenges with the potential for global disruptions. While solar cycle disturbances are a phenomena noticed by few in most occurrences, high-precision RTK GNSS users in equatorial regions are regularly impacted by solar activity year-round, inflicting costly interruptions on agricultural operations. Customer Testing and Validation “There was no question when asked if we wanted to test IonoGuard,” said Michael Munro, General Manager, Sales and
