Zuken and SiSoftTM have united to deliver solutions for complex high-speed designs and multi-gigabit applications. By integrating SiSoft’s advanced signal integrity solutions for state-of-the-art, high-speed digital system design with Zuken’s 3D multi-board, system-level platform, the two companies will provide a combined design and verification flow. The companies will initially focus on integration between Zuken’s CR-8000 tool suite and SiSoft’s Quantum Channel Designer® and Quantum-SI™ tools. “We see high-speed interfaces, such as PCI-Express, IEEE802.3, DDR3 and DDR4, continue to expand in applications across industries such as smartphone/tablet, automotive, defense/mil-aero, telecom, computer, and storage. At the same time, design teams are struggling to meet stringent timelines using disconnected tools. Our collaboration with SiSoft will help design teams manage their work concurrently and intelligently.” - Humair Mandavia, Executive Director of the SOZO Center, Zuken’s R&D facility in Silicon Valley “SiSoft’s IBIS-AMI models provide plug-and-play simulation of serializer/deserializer (SerDes) behavior using commercial EDA tools.

Advanced Solutions, an Autodesk Platinum Partner and Authorized Training Center (ATC), has partnered with Kohrs Lonnemann Heil (KLH) Engineers, PSC, on an internal process improvement through the Advanced Solutions Workflow Simulation service. Kohrs Lonnemann Heil (KLH) Engineers, PSC, is a forward thinking firm, striving to improve quality through process innovation and the adoption of technology. They are constantly looking at ways to automate "busy" work, so their engineers can focus on being engineers. Executive Director of Engineering, Joseph Kohrs, PE, said, "We're not afraid to take chances with the technology." He went on to say, "We don't want to be the guy who waits for the technology to mature before we utilize it. We feel that is a failed response in terms of being innovative and staying ahead of the competition." Advanced Solutions approached KLH Engineering to be a Workflow Simulation partner, just as the KLH team was looking to examine their RFI and submittals process

Demonstrations of machining with robots using the PowerMILL Robot programming system will be the highlight of Delcam’s stand at the Advanced Engineering group of events that is to be held at the NEC, Birmingham, on 11th and 12th November.  Delcam will also feature the 2015 releases of its PowerSHAPE Pro CAD and reverse engineering software, and its FeatureCAM and PowerMILL CAM systems on stand G33 at the exhibition. PowerMILL Robot can be used for the programming of robots for a variety of multi-axis machining operations, including patternmaking, modelmaking, trimming and drilling of composite components, and deburring and polishing of metal parts.  Robots can be also be programmed for part-to-tool applications, such as grinding or linishing.  In both cases, the software makes it as easy to program a robot for machining as it is to program a five-axis machine tool.  To ensure safe and efficient operation, PowerMILL Robot can be used to simulate the
