 PDF Key takeaways: New digital technologies and processes are revolutionizing the way products and services are developed, and are also impacting workplaces, workforces, business channels, business models, and customers. Social product development is beginning to show significant success in ideation, problem solving, and knowledge management, enabling companies to collaborate with suppliers, consumers, customers, and other interested parties to capture input for new products as well as for enhancements to existing products Using advanced analytics, Big Data technology and processes can transform data into actionable insights, which can help improve products and business processes, yielding improved business performance and customer satisfaction TCS’ Digital Forces framework adds artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to social, mobile, analytics, and cloud (SMAC) and applies them across the product lifecycle to facilitate product realization Modern Product Realization Over the past two decades, the tools used to convert ideas into physical products have undergone an amazing transformation. All aspects of bringing a product to

CIMdata consults with many end-user clients on their PLM and simulation strategies which, of course, turn out to be all about data management and process. In spite of clients having spent millions of dollars on solutions, it is incredible that when we bore down with the question about "How does collaboration and data sharing really happen?" the clients invariably get this sheepish look, stare down at their shoes, and mumble "shared drive." It is amazing how much organizations rely on local network shared drives, and how out of control they are.  I am reminded of "The Tragedy of the Commons," which is about how shared resources can be exploited and destroyed for perceived individual benefit at the expense of the common good1. I am surprised that there seems to be no available solution to what I call "The Shared Drive Problem." A decade ago (at GM) I wrote my requirements for a Simulation

Tech Soft 3D  announces the release of HOOPS Visualize 2015, with capabilities that make it easier than ever to add high-performance, interactive 3D visualization to desktop and mobile applications. The industry-leading toolkit currently powers advanced graphics in hundreds of engineering applications around the globe. HOOPS Visualize 2015 leverages the latest 3D GPU capabilities available on current graphics processors, giving developers the tools to provide the best possible rendering and selection performance. A tighter connection with the HOOPS Exchange toolkit enables applications to load files from over 20 formats faster than any other solution on the market as well as support CATIA drawings. New functionality also enables comprehensive interaction with and querying of rich CAD data through a reference model browser. “The range of HOOPS Visualize’s features and component integrations continue to expand, which further solidifies its position as the leading engineering visualization toolkit,” says Robert Mazeffa, Director of HOOPS Visualize Product Development. “Developers can

Delcam has added a new ‘putty’ tool to the 2015 release of its ArtCAM Pro CADCAM software for artistic applications, allowing even more complex 3D shapes to be created with the program.  In addition, many of the modelling options, including the new tool, now show the results of changes in real time. Unlike most other CADCAM systems, ArtCAM Pro is aimed at skilled artisans rather than engineers and requires little knowledge of engineering or computing.  It has been particularly successful in the signmaking, woodworking and engraving industries.  In these areas and in other artistic applications, ArtCAM Pro allows users to increase productivity, improve quality and deliver new designs more quickly, by combining their craft skills and creativity with the power and precision of computer-aided manufacturing. The main development for ArtCAM Pro 2015 is the new putty tool for modelling.  This allows models to be edited by picking an area to be moved,

BETA CAE System S.A. announces the release of v15.2.2 of ANSA / µETA pre- and post- processing suite. This maintenance release focuses on the correction of identified problems and issues for ANSA and μΕΤΑ, but some enhancements have also been made.

Enhancements and known issues resolved in ANSA Enhancements in ANSA Scripting A new script function has been added in CFD_TRANSL named ScaleBMValues. This function will scale all the length related fields of selected Batch Mesh Sessions. Known issues resolved in ANSA DATA Management Deleting Include files from the DM Browser might lead to unexpected termination. Applying a new representation on many parts was not possible when they were physically connected. TOPO The performance of Plane Cut has been significantly improved. DECKs File Manager: Files that were de-selected were also imported along with the selected ones. Contact>Assistant: The Master/Slave set ids were inserted in the Contact card as Slave/Master. For

Engineers can drastically reduce development costs and be confident that their automotive embedded software applications generated using ANSYS® SCADE® will meet stringent safety standards with the ANSYS ISO 26262-qualified code generator. As automobile electronics – including dashboards and head-up displays – become more prevalent and sophisticated, ensuring the reliability of the embedded software code within those systems becomes safety critical. To help engineers meet new industry and regulatory standards, TUV SUD Rail GmbH has assessed that the code generators in ANSYS SCADE Suite KCG 6.4 and ANSYS SCADE Display KCG 6.4.3 are suitable for developing ISO 26262 compliant applications up to ASIL D – the highest safety requirement for automotive applications. The ISO 26262 standard defines functional safety for automotive equipment applicable throughout the lifecycle of all automotive electronic and electrical safety-related systems. TUV SUD is a leading global testing and inspection organization with more than 13,000 certified experts providing consulting, testing, certification and
