In times of increasing cost and time pressures in production, along with ongoing globalization, logistics plays a key role in the success of a company. In its upcoming webinar, Geometric Solutions will demonstrate how Tecnomatix® Plant Simulation is likewise essential, for it identifies potential logistical problems and illustrates how to solve them before manufacturing even begins and problems occur.

This episode, the second in the Simulation Nation 2015 webinar series, examines Plant Simulation’s ability to create dynamic computer models of complex systems that allow users to optimize performance in terms of material flow, resource utilization and logistics...

Altair today announced that LW Engineering Software AB has joined the Altair Partner Alliance (APA), adding LW Finder for accurate and controlled strain gauge placement for measuring structural loads.

"Common issues encountered by engineers include noisy data and misleading results when using strain gauges to measure structural loads," said Shea Wilson, co-founder of LW Engineering Software. "We identified this gap and consequently developed LW Finder to determine optimal strain gauge placement and predict measurement errors to dramatically improve the quality of the measured data. We chose the Altair Partner Alliance...

Lectra announces that a German competitor's machine was declared as infringing a Lectra's patent protecting a solution for cutting one-piece-woven (OPW) airbags in Germany.
The July 2015 final court ruling stated that the competitor's OPW-airbag-cutting machine makes use of Lectra patent EP 1 321 839's inventive technical teaching, thus legally acknowledging that the machine infringes the patent. The Lectra patent describes an OPW-airbag-cutting machine as integrating three elements: a cut-on-the-fly cutting system for cutting patterns in sheet material; a vision system for locating on-the-fly landmarks in sheet material; and a control system that allows a pattern to be cut at...

Cadence Design Systems has established a new R&D facility in Pune, which will develop configurable processors and related products. Two years ago, Cadence acquired Tensilica, which put up an R&D facility in Pune in 2006.
