D-Wave Systems is designing and building the world's most advanced quantum computers with help from engineering simulation solutions from ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS). This next generation of supercomputers uses quantum mechanics to massively accelerate computation and has the potential to solve some of the most complex computing problems facing organizations today. Conventional computer technology stores information as 0s and 1s, but a quantum computer uses qubits, which can be a 1 or a 0 or both at the same time. This enables quantum computers to consider and manipulate all combinations of bits simultaneously, making quantum computation powerful – and extremely fast. Quantum computing places extreme demands on the operating environment. The system must be isolated from external electromagnetic fields and the temperature must be maintained near absolute zero. Multiphysics simulation is a powerful tool to accurately predict the kinds of environments that can be engineered in the real world. D-Wave is using ANSYS®

Altair announced today that the company will present its solutions for embedded systems development at PCIM Europe taking place May 19-21, 2015 in Nuremberg, Germany. Technologies to be showcased include the VisSim™ 9.0 product suite, the latest release of Altair's powerful visual language for mathematical modeling, simulation, and model-based embedded systems development.  Live demonstrations and VisSim development thought leaders will be on-hand throughout the event (Booth 7-316) to present how VisSim 9.0 can accelerate model-based design of embedded systems.  Released in March 2015, VisSim 9.0 provides an intuitive visual development environment for increased engineering productivity and broader support for the Texas Instruments (TI) C2000 product family.  Now with deep support for motor control simulation and embedded development on TI C2000 microcontrollers (MCUs), VisSim 9.0 enables control engineers to develop embedded systems 100% graphically without the need to write a single line of C code.

PROSTEP AG of Darmstadt has signed a partnership agreement with the Japanese specialist for CAD-interoperability, ELYSIUM. The target of the partnership is, in addition to geometry, providing the users with the data translation and transfer service OpenDESC.com with the translation of the features and parametric information of their CAD models. Thus, for the first time, it will be possible to process translated data in all current CAD systems and return them to the production system using the same editing possibilities. The offer is destined for companies who, in Joint Ventures or during globally distributed development projects, cooperate with partners using different CAD systems. It is especially beneficial for small suppliers that have to achieve increasing requirements on data quality but are unable to invest in expensive conversion tools. PROSTEP will completely integrate the tools of ELYSIUM in OpenDESC.com to largely automate the translation of features and parametric information and, thus, be
