Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, announced today the release of the Leica HawkEye-5, the new highly efficient airborne bathymetric LiDAR solution for deep water surveying. The upgraded technology increases survey efficiency by up to 25% compared to previous generations. The Leica HawkEye-5 expands the capabilities of the Leica Chiroptera-5 bathymetric LiDAR system, enhancing the productivity of applications such as nautical charting, environmental monitoring, and maritime surveillance in deep waters. The HawkEye-5 is designed to fit the Leica PAV100 gyro-stabilised mount, which isolates the sensor from unwanted aircraft movements, resulting in consistent data density and more efficient area coverage. Greater flight efficiency leads to faster data collection and minimises the operational costs and environmental impact of each mapping project. Users can complete more projects in a shorter time frame, maximising their revenues and return on investment. The combination of the Chiroptera-5 with the HawkEye-5 features three LiDAR sensors, one 4-band camera and a QC

Thanks to the cooperation with the online platform AUSSCHREIBEN.DE, tender texts are now also available via 3Dfindit.com Architects and planners design buildings digitally as BIM models. To do this, they need the products that are to be installed as digital BIM data: from roof drains to doors to faucets. In addition, planners and architects need the standardized tender texts for the tendering and award process. In this respect, architects and building planners have a significant influence on the decision as to what is ultimately procured and installed. In order to sell their building products, manufacturers should therefore simplify the work of planners.  Sensible combination of BIM models and tender texts The cooperation between CADENAS and ORCA Software helps them to do this: Manufacturers who present their products on both 3Dfindit.com and AUSSCHREIBEN.DE can now connect these portals. This way, the 3D BIM models on 3Dfindit.com are directly linked to the tender texts. Conversely, AUSSCHREIBEN.DE now also displays 3D previews

Simulations Plus, Inc ., a leading provider of modeling and simulation software and services for pharmaceutical safety and efficacy, announced the release of NAFLDsym v2B Beta, a quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) modeling software to support the development of treatments for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This release focused solely on updates to the software infrastructure of NAFLDsym to enable a more intuitive interface design, faster simulations, and more user flexibility. Mr. Matthew McDaniel , lead programmer on the project, said, “We redesigned the simulation software to use the Julia language, which is geared towards efficient numerical computing. As a result, simulation speed is greatly increased, particularly for large virtual populations. We think the combination of this efficient simulation backend with the updated user interface will make for an excellent user experience.” CSO Dr. Scott Q. Siler of the DILIsym Services division of Simulations Plus said, “The increase in simulation speed in NAFLDsym v2B Beta enhances predictive capabilities and efficiencies.

ENGYS is delighted to announce the release of ELEMENTS 3.5.2, an open-source based CFD software suite for vehicle design applications produced by Streamline Solutions LLC. This release also includes new versions of the add-on modules ELEMENTS-Adjoint and ELEMENTS-Coupled. ELEMENTS combines two simulation environments in one package: a dedicated virtual wind tunnel wizard for modelling external vehicle aerodynamics, and a general purpose CFD interface for solving other vehicle design applications (e.g. UHMT, HVAC, in-cabin flows, aeroacoustics, etc). The default methodology and best practices for external vehicle aerodynamics provided with this version of ELEMENTS have been widely tested and validated to conform to the latest regulations on alternative drag prediction methods proposed as part of the Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP). ELEMENTS 3.5.2 is mainly focused on bug fixes and code refinements to remove known issues found in the previous release 3.5.1. The fixes cover all aspects of the product, including the

In an article published February 9, 2023 Mark Reisig of CIMdata discusses how PLM can be used to accelerate the transition to green energy. He says, “A key factor in accelerating this transition is using digital technologies to control product data for wind, solar, and nuclear. All companies run on product data—it touches all phases of a product’s/plant’s lifecycle. Those that can harness their data outperform their competition. They’re able to innovate, scale, and transform, merging their digitalization efforts sustainably and making them more resilient competitors in the marketplace.” Read the full article here: https://www.powermag.com/accelerating-the-transition-to-green-energy-with-product-lifecycle-management/ To view the original press release, please click here.
