Altair and Elysium Co. Ltd. today announced that Elysium has joined the Altair Partner Alliance (APA), adding its 3D geometry healing and translation software CADdoctor. CADdoctor understands multiple Computer Aided Design (CAD) formats and Product Data Quality (PDQ) criteria to easily translate and repair data as well as simplify geometry to reduce file size for more efficient Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis. CADdoctor is equipped with a standalone user interface, which applies the built-in geometry healing module, Data Exchange Kernel (DEK). DEK can understand the characteristics, representations, tolerances, etc. of various CAD systems to guarantee an accurate translation to support the data preprocess for CAE analysis. "Elysium could not be more pleased to join the Altair Partner Alliance. This will expand the CADdoctor market, specifically to those hoping to re-use 3D CAD data from designing for their CAE analysis." said Kentaro Fukuta, General Manager of the Global Business team at Elysium. "CADdoctor, an industry-proven application for 3D data

Lectra announces the release of DiaminoFashion V6R2, the latest version of its marker-making solution. This new release expands the scope of its automated marker-making capability, producing better results and bigger savings in the cutting room. Fashion companies and apparel manufacturers today are operating in a marketplace that has been transformed by fast fashion, moving at a pace that makes it difficult to remain both profitable and competitive. "The industry norm has moved from two big collections a year to a steady stream of low-quantity orders in a variety of styles, sizes and colors. This complexity has put enormous pressure on businesses, who need to find new ways to improve productivity and cut costs," says Céline Choussy Bedouet, Chief Marketing Officer, Lectra. "Because fabric makes up such a large portion of clothing's cost price, an efficient marker-making process that optimizes material usage can be a real competitive advantage." she explains. Part of Lectra's

GEOMATE Company today released GrafiCalc™ family of software that enables users to conceptualize, analyze, and solve a wide range of mechanical design and engineering challenges with unprecedented ease, speed, and accuracy before committing to detailed design in CAD.  That is possible because GrafiCalc enables users to simply point-and-click to associate geometry and “smart” calculations in the same worksheet to capture the functional intents of the design challenge. Users can then vary parameters in the worksheet to ask and receive instantaneous engineering decision-support information and optimal solution in real time. GrafiCalc can be used standalone as well in conjunction with Microsoft Office and all popular CAD applications on any computer running Windows Vista, XP, Windows 7, or Windows 8. GrafiCalc is available in two versions to match needs: GrafiCalc Elements 7.0 combines the disciplines of sketching and calculating in a single application that enables users to "sketch & solve" design challenges while making informed decisions.  GrafiCalc 7.0 includes

MachineWorks Ltd has pledged its support of the Sheffield University Racing Team, competing in the Formula Student event-taking place at Silverstone in July 2015.   MachineWorks also contributed by using their Polygonica Technology to heal the 3D model of a clutch system that the Racing Team had designed, in order for it to be 3D printed and installed into the car. The Formula Student motor sport competition tasks universities around the world with designing and building their own single-seat racing car before putting it to the test at Silverstone. Bringing together students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and other areas of engineering allows them to demonstrate their engineering ability and test their skills against other teams. The MachineWorks team is passionate about encouraging talent and innovation within engineering so was delighted to sponsor the team and provide them with both technical and financial support.  “We hope that our contribution will aid them in achieving their goals for the competition and we
