Tecplot, Inc., developer of the leading Visual Data Analysis (VDA) software for engineers and scientists, today announced the general availability of Tecplot 360 EX 2015 Release 2. The new release, which is ten times faster than the legacy (2013) version of Tecplot 360 at computational analysis and graphics rendering, is the easiest-to-use CFD post-processor available. Specific new features include customizable color maps and improvements to data-probing functionality. “We always seek input from our customer base when planning what features go into a new release,” Tecplot Product Manager Scott Fowler said. “Customizable color maps were at the top of our customers’ wish list, so it was an easy decision to devote the development resources necessary to include them in this release. Likewise, improvements to the data-probing tool were requested often by our customers who perform CFD post-processing work.” Customizable color maps allow users to understand variations in their data through the use of graphical point &

If you’ve heard about the exciting features coming in Vectorworks 2016, you can see them for yourself at booth #3181 at the AIA Convention 2015, where Vectorworks Architect experts are on hand to answer all your questions about the current version of the software, as well as preview three tools we know you’ll love once 2016 hits the market this fall: Marionette: As the first and only cross-platform graphical scripting environment available in a BIM authoring tool, Marionette lets Vectorworks Architect users create complex design variations and intelligent parametric objects in a Python-based environment. Energos: Vectorworks Architect users can make critical performance decisions based on real-time feedback directly in their models with Energos, the only BIM authoring tool that uses the highly respected Passivhaus calculation method to create building energy use analysis results. Project Sharing: Design teams will be able to work concurrently in the same Vectorworks file using
a multi-user environment to streamline project workflows,

Desktop Engineering announces that version 16.1 of the ANSYS portfolio of engineering simulation solutions and the new ANSYS Enterprise Cloud solution for enterprise simulation from ANSYS Inc. (Canonsburg, PA), is its Editor’s Pick of the Week for May 13, 2015.  “ANSYS Enterprise Cloud makes available the entire ANSYS application suite,” writes Anthony J. Lockwood, editor at large for Desktop Engineering. “It’s supported by Amazon Web Services, which should simplify and speed up your transition to cloud-based simulation. And it is engineered to give you consistent, enterprise-specific simulation workflows and data to more engineers wherever they are located.” “ANSYS Enterprise Cloud supports end-to-end simulation workflows, including pre-processing and 3D graphical post-processing,” says Lockwood. “That means you waste minimal time transferring files like you do with a batch cloud solution. You access it as a single-tenant environment, which further helps secure your data.” “ANSYS Enterprise Cloud can also be customized for your unique simulation processes,”

Zuken has launched the latest version of its CR-8000 single and multi-board design solution. This platform is a product-centric design application for creating complex product design. The release includes cross-discipline collaboration, multiple user constraint management and support for global standards. The CR-8000 platform has enhanced hierarchical and module-based system design capabilities. This, according to the company, makes it easier for engineers from all disciplines to contribute to the system design. Also added is the functionality to reuse constraints. The Design Gateway allows multiple team members to replicate constraints, reducing design time. Constraint information for each functional block is now directly associated with the block circuit, making copying, managing and maintaining possible. “We launched CR-8000 with a vision that design processes are moving from a traditional PCB-centric approach to a more collaborative 3D product-centric process. That vision is being realized as design teams adopt CR-8000 and benefit from product-centric capabilities such as combining 3D multi-board
