Toshiba Corporation has developed an SSD(Note 1) design optimization platform that realizes efficient analysis of various SSD simulations, greatly reducing work on design optimization. Toshiba will present details at the Design Automation Conference in San Francisco, California on June 8. As NAND flash memory storage densities continue to climb, SSDs are finding much wider application in data centers and industrial equipment. However, increasing design complexity requires designers to combine SSD design parameters carefully, and the diversity of requirements for capacity, performance, power consumption and reliability complicates optimization. With optimization based on traditional methods becoming increasingly difficult, technologies that efficiently identify optimal solutions for a given combination of SSD design parameters are desired. Toshiba has developed a unified SSD design optimization platform made up of ArcHunter, which carries out a variety of SSD simulations, and Polyspector, which summarizes simulation results for efficient analysis. Together, they allow easy construction and comparison of a wide

PTC today announced that Hasbro Inc., a global company committed to Creating the World's Best Play Experiences, has chosen PTC Windchill FlexPLM as its product development solution. With PTC Windchill FlexPLM, Hasbro will be able to better streamline and centralize its product development processes and data, as well as gain greater visibility into product data during all phases of design, development and sourcing. Because Hasbro is a global company with numerous product lines, it needed a product development system that would allow it to more effectively centralize its processes throughout the product lifecycle. By leveraging the PTC Windchill FlexPLM proven architecture for hardline and soft goods management, Hasbro will have a single platform, with engineering data managed in PTC Windchill. “Our consumers are at the heart of everything that we do, and we’ve been successful in delivering compelling and engaging experiences by listening to our consumers,” said John Frascotti, President, Hasbro Brands. “In order

9 June 2015 Faist, a multinational group operating through its 24 plants in Europe, North America and China, has chosen and implemented RuleDesigner enterprise PLM software suite to support inter-company collaboration and improve performances in PLM processes. The project in question was characterized by high complex PLM workflows due to the fact that processes must be compliant to AIAG procedures for the automotive industry, but also due to the peculiarities of the company business reality. By using RuleDesigner it was possible to establish comprehensive PLM processes able to integrate 5 business units and 7 local plants, for a total amount of 222 users. Processes are structured in different stages spanning from the customer request to production and are supported by more than 100 automation procedures. These procedures are realized directly by the company IT team, autonomously, using rule-based modelling tools provided by RuleDesigner. Moreover, the integrated process configurator allowed to set up configuration processes aimed

Comet Solutions, Inc. announces that Chief Technology Officer, Malcolm Panthaki, will be a featured presenter at the “Democratising CAE” Simulation Process & Data Management (SPDM) Workshop at the upcoming NAFEMS World Congress (June 21-24, San Diego, CA).  Mr. Panthaki’s presentation is titled: Making the Full Power of Simulation Available to Everyone – At the Confluence of Solution-Specific Web Apps, “Lights-Out” Automation, Design Optimization, and “Infinite, Elastic Computing” on the Cloud. Solution-specific Simulation Applications (SimApps) are targeted, easy-to-use applications that drive complex simulation templates, and speak the language of the user/engineer. SimApps allow product designers and engineers, without expertise in the use of simulation tools, to safely and quickly evaluate their designs using complex simulations. NAFEMS workshop attendees will learn how Comet’s manufacturing customers such as Intel, American Axle Manufacturing (AAM), and Magna Cosma, are employing SimApps to extend the use of simulation beyond a small number of CAE experts. These manufacturers and others featured

CD-adapco, the largest privately held CFD-focused provider of Computer Aided Engineering software, announced today that it will share a booth with German-based independent research center Access e.V. at the upcoming GIFA 2015 where it will feature STAR-Cast, the casting simulation add-on module for STAR-CCM+ it developed with Access. Up to 50,000 visitors are expected to attend GIFA 2015, the “most important trade fair for foundry technology in the world” on June 16-20 in Dusseldorf, Germany. STAR-Cast, which leverages CD-adapco’s expertise in flow simulation and Access’ know-how and skills in casting, will be on full display for event attendees. “This scope of this event offers an excellent showcase for STAR-Cast and the innovative work we are collaborating on with Access,” said Jean-Claude Ercolanelli, Sr. Vice President Product Management. “During GIFA 2015, we will have live demonstrations of Die, Investment and Sand Casting. Attendees will also be among the first to see the new High

Synesis7 Corporation (“Synesis7”) and The Center for Advanced Mineral and Metallurgical Processing (CAMP) at Montana Tech of the University of Montana have partnered to jointly develop enhanced and scalable integrated Additive Manufacturing (AM) and Intelligent Digital Thread processes, technologies, and operational capabilities.  Synesis7 and Montana Tech CAMP are bringing together their diverse but complementary capabilities to assist US Government and Commercial customers in realizing their integrated AM, intelligent Digital Thread, and related 3-D Modeling, 3-D Printing, and Model Based Enterprise (MBE) objectives. Representatives from Synesis7 and Montana Tech CAMP discovered their common interest in advanced manufacturing systems and in particular Additive Manufacturing during the first Mile High Innovation Network event in Butte that led to continuing conversations and this partnership. As Pam Haxby-Cote, Regional Director, Blackstone Launchpad Program and coordinator of the Butte area Innovation Network describes it; “The Mile High Innovation Network is a group of motivated local entrepreneurs coming together

Since the creation of Missler Informatique in 1984, which then became Missler Software in 2000, the publisher of software for the mechanical, wood and sheet metal work industries has acquired a renown that stretches worldwide. In 1981, the Missler brothers set up a subsidiary of their mechanical engineering company to develop software to complement numerical control systems. This was a time of French CAD/CAM pioneers, such as CNI in Lyon, which became a part of Missler Software in 2001. The latter was highly successful at the end of the 1990s. At this point, the decision was taken to continue to develop by teaming up with other software publishers (Catalpa in Grenoble and Topcad in Toulouse) to form Missler Software and deliver innovative software solutions that tightly integrate design engineering and manufacturing. The 2000s saw a turning point in the group's history with the start of the internationalization of the TopSolid
