Exa® Corporation announces its newest release, PowerFLOW 5.1, offering up to a 300% speed up for complex transient cabin comfort simulations — allowing vehicle manufacturers an accurate, robust, and practical method of studying exceedingly complex thermal engineering problems. According to J.D. Power and Associates' initial quality studies, it is crucial for automobile manufacturers to design and produce reliable climate control systems, as they are paramount to the interior comfort of today's vehicle owners. "Consumers demand to be comfortable in their vehicles," said Ales Alajbegovic, Exa's Vice President, Ground Transportation Applications. "Beyond ensuring customer satisfaction, optimizing and engineering passenger vehicle cabins and HVAC systems though simulation can save fuel and reduce emissions." The current thermal engineering design process presents many challenges for the engineering team. They often must wait for full cabin designs and prototypes to be available for evaluation. Additionally, engineers have had to rely on mannequins and thermal measurement devices that

Datakit releases the version 2015.2 of its CAD conversion interfaces. This version offers three main new features: The Solid Edge 2D (.dft) format is now available. It can be converted to PDF or DXF. The CATIA V5 reader supports the latest version CATIA V5 R25 (V5-6R2015). The NX reader supports the latest versionNX 10. All these improvements benefit to components provided by Datakit to software vendors (CrossCad/Ware), enabling them to support many CAD formats in their own software. It applies also to the plug-ins provided by Datakit (CrossCad/Plg), which add import or export functionalities to CAD software as Rhino, SolidWorks, ThinkDesign and Open CASCADE in formats non-natively supported by these software. Finally, the stand-alone converter CrossManager is also benefiting of these improvements. It allows users to convert their CAD files very easily and quickly in dozens of different CAD files without the need for any third-party software license. Datakit will visit Industrie Lyon 2015, From 7 to 10 April, do not hesitate to make an appointment with Datakit at the show to find out more

ZWSOFT launched its 2015 Global Partner Conference (GPC) in Guangzhou, China. The first day of the conference featured inspiring ideas from ZWSOFT management, CAD expert Roopinder Tara and SAIC Co., a ZWSOFT partner, shedding light on industry trends, future prospects of ZWSOFT products and partnership. CAD Trends 2015 in Experts’ Eyes Roopinder Tara, CEO of Tenlinks, a famous CAD media in North America, delivered a speech about the CAD trends. In his opinion, the major players in the CAD field tend to diverse their product lines, catering to more design needs from vertical industries like architecture, machinery and mobile collaboration, while CAD for general usage will experience more downward cost pressure. Many robust CAD products will be sold for hundreds of dollars and even given away for free. Future Prospects of ZWSOFT Products Echoing to Roopinder’s opinion for CAD trends 2015, Truman Du, CEO of ZWSOFT shared with all the audience ZWSOFT’s strategy to

 PDF Key takeaways: ESI provides a vision of a “virtual prototype” that is comprehensive and includes manufacturing ESI is a leader in the capabilities of its solutions for manufacturing simulation End users are looking to ESI for simulation capabilities that include “as-manufactured” material properties and accurate representations of welding, bonding, tribology, and other manufacturing concerns While many PLM software companies promote digital models or virtual representations for accelerating new product development, ESI has a comprehensive vision of a “virtual prototype” that minimizes or even replaces physical prototypes and testing across the span of conceptual product engineering; detailed design development and validation and; perhaps most unique, design simulation for materials selection and manufacturing optimization. With growing product complexities and the need for faster innovation, the product lifecycle process and organization reached its limit with inherent major drawbacks. ESI envisions a more holistic, next generation product lifecycle, not simply one in which digital modeling and simulation replaces isolated

VCollab announced the solution to convert CAE model & results data from a variety of CAE solutions like NX™ software, ANSYS, MSC NASTRAN,ABAQUS, LS DYNA, FLUENT, STAR-CCM+, CFX, FE SAFE, nCODE and others into the JT™ data format. Developed by Siemens Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Software, JT is the leading file format for lightweight 3D collaboration and visualization and is an ISO standard. VCollab exports not only the 3D models, deformed shapes and simulation results, but also exports the CAE BOM, simulation result contour and associated legend into JT for better understanding of the simulation results. VCollab also exports Meta Data into a separate XML files for an easier integration with SDM/PLM systems to better manage simulation data. Creating 3D JT models of the simulation models and results is now available through an optional plug-in to the VCollab Professional viewer allowing any result instance selected in VCollab Professional to be exported as
