nPower Software has released a powerful new reverse engineering product, Power Surfacing RE.

Power Surfacing RE is an add-in reverse engineering (RE) product for SolidWorks 3D design software that significantly improves the process for reverse engineering scanned meshes, other mesh data, and SolidWorks geometry within SolidWorks.

Power Surfacing RE is built on top of nPower’s Power Surfacing product.

Dealing with scanned meshes can be tricky and time consuming. Power Surfacing RE simplifies the process with tools to reference and convert the scanned mesh into “standard” SolidWorks NURBS geometry. Once the scanned mesh is converted into typical SolidWorks geometry, users can apply all the...

Toshiba Corporation has developed an SSD(Note 1) design optimization platform that realizes efficient analysis of various SSD simulations, greatly reducing work on design optimization. Toshiba will present details at the Design Automation Conference in San Francisco, California on June 8.

As NAND flash memory storage densities continue to climb, SSDs are finding much wider application in data centers and industrial equipment. However, increasing design complexity requires designers to combine SSD design parameters carefully, and the diversity of requirements for capacity, performance, power consumption and reliability complicates optimization. With optimization based on traditional methods becoming increasingly difficult, technologies that efficiently identify optimal...

Since the creation of Missler Informatique in 1984, which then became Missler Software in 2000, the publisher of software for the mechanical, wood and sheet metal work industries has acquired a renown that stretches worldwide. In 1981, the Missler brothers set up a subsidiary of their mechanical engineering company to develop software to complement numerical control systems. This was a time of French CAD/CAM pioneers, such as CNI in Lyon, which became a part of Missler Software in 2001. The latter was highly successful at the end of the 1990s. At this point, the decision was taken to continue to...
