Spatial Corp. announced today that they have teamed up with Machine Research to develop a new, cloud-based software solution for manufacturing companies. Spatial and Machine Research will partner to deliver secure, ITAR-compliant software that helps manufacturers mine and reuse their existing manufacturing knowledge, thereby increasing efficiency and streamlining workflows. The combination of a flexible business model and core 3D technology from Spatial gives Machine Research a powerful partner that will help sell its SaaS products to manufacturers and opens new growth opportunities for Spatial’s solutions. By leveraging Spatial’s expertise in 3D software development, application developers from Machine Research can focus their efforts on building innovative software solutions making it easier to share manufacturing knowledge. "Manufacturers have made smart, strategic investments in software; yet for all the investment, the industry's current way of implementing that software remains fragmented and inefficient. We think there's a better way,” explained Chris Skubic, CEO, Machine Research. “Working closely with

IronCAD today announced a new seamlessly integrated Multi-Physics module. "Multi-Physics for IronCAD" (MPIC) is the newest generation of integrated CAD/FEA for general entry to advanced design simulations. MPIC focuses on ease of use and provides fully coupled Multiphysics with stress, thermal, and electrostatic analysis. Traditional FEA solutions are specialized for advanced users and are not particularly well suited for quick, in-process design analysis. With MPIC, users at any skill level will be able to use full FEA capabilities. Seamlessly integrated, users can simply add material, forces or constraints and the AutoSolve meshes and returns analysis results. Any modifications to the IRONCAD model enables an analysis re-solve in seconds As part of the IronCAD Gold Partner Program, a node-limited version of MPIC is included with full product capabilities with the standard IRONCAD solution. Beyond the included version, customers can purchase a full accuracy basic version, advance version, and add-on functionality. MPIC is available

Granta Design announced the release of GRANTA MI:Materials Gateway™ for HyperMesh®, which provides quick, traceable access to materials data and applications within HyperMesh, the CAE pre-processor from Altair's HyperWorks® suite. This new application further reinforces MI:Materials Gateway as the standard for accessing and applying managed materials data across a broad range of CAD, CAE, and PLM software. Quality materials property data is a pre-requisite for accurate design and simulation. Granta has worked with some of the world’s top engineering enterprises to develop best practice in managing, accessing, and applying materials property information. The resulting GRANTA MI™ software enables these companies to store and use both their corporate materials knowledge and an unrivalled catalog of Granta-supplied materials reference data on thousands of metals, plastics, ceramics, composites, and natural materials. GRANTA MI:Materials Gateway for HyperMesh appears as an embedded application within HyperMesh, putting this authoritative materials information into the hands of simulation engineers. It complements the flexibility of HyperMesh in

Leading New Zealand hydrocarbons engineering company ITL has selected Intergraph® CADWorx® Plant Professional plant design software to deliver all new projects going forward. ITL made the switch to CADWorx Plant Professional from a competitor product after evaluating a range of plant design software packages against criteria that included cost-effectiveness, features and usability. "After an extensive evaluation exercise, one of the main deciding factors for us was that Intergraph has made considerable investments to advance CADWorx over the past few years, rather than just maintain it," said Garnett Henderson, ITL's design office manager. "We haven't seen that with many other vendors. "We also like the admin setup for CADWorx Plant Professional," Henderson added. "The majority of our jobs are relatively small, and CADWorx does not assume you want to link every document in a project together out of the box. You can get up and running quickly on small projects, and choose to add the integration

Aras® today announced that Cofely Energy & Infra BV, a division of GDF-SUEZ and Europe’s leading provider of efficient energy and environmental solutions, has selected the Aras solution suite for enterprise PLM. Cofely Energy & Infra will leverage Aras to standardize and optimize collaboration throughout the enterprise and extended enterprise, including external design firms and contractors, and to provide a single source of information for all project stakeholders. Working with Aras gold certified partner Minerva, Cofely Energy & Infra will implement Aras Innovator® to standardize workflows and deliver significant infrastructure improvements in the areas of transport and traffic networks, oil & gas, water, marine & offshore, smart grids and more. To achieve this, The Netherlands-based company will roll out Aras solutions for document management, engineering change management, and configuration management. “Aras Innovator will help reduce errors related to the sharing of designs and configurations,” said Rico Verhage, Manager of Configuration Management at

MachineWorks Ltd and Polygonal Mesh Processing Software will be showcasing the latest state of the art 3D printing software in Frankfurt at Euromold 2014, on Hall 11 Stand B86.  Ready for the Colour Challenge  MachineWorks will be demonstrating the exciting new features of Polygonica 1.2, including automated healing of complex meshes for additive manufacturing with support for full colour texture mapped models. Latest hardware innovations prove that full colour 3D printing is becoming the norm rather than the exception.  The Polygonica team have been working hard to ensure that the software required to prepare 3D models for full colour printing will not be a limiting factor. Beyond STL files Polygonica's advanced mesh repair algorithms carefully interpolate texture coordinates during the healing process, meaning that model files in formats such as Wavefront OBJ, 3ds Max, FBX and VRML can be processed directly without the need to re-project the texture. Support for user- defined data means that

MachineWorks Ltd will be showing new software advances and celebrating 20 years of manufacturing software at Euromold 2014 on Hall 8, Stand H09, 25-28 November.  MachineWorks CNC Simulation display in Hall 8 Leading CNC control manufacturers FANUC and FIDIA will both have a dedicated area at the MachineWorks stand showing demos with MachineWorks software driving their simulation. Specific APIs have been developed to optimise CNC controls, not just to run simulation in real time but to also simultaneously check for collisions. MachineWorks technology develops true solid modelling to detect gouges and clashes.  Rather than using sampling technology that can lead to crashes, MachineWorks uses the swept volume that guarantees no collision goes undetected in the envelope of the machine. The beauty of MachineWorks toolkit is its flexibility. MachineWorks libraries can offer solutions that range from a simple tool and stock simulation to a complex real-time anti-collision system.  Further to the control dedicated area, the MachineWorks stand will be displaying a range of demos
