CORTIME is proud to announce that the CORTIME software will be exhibited at SolidWorks World 2019 in Dallas TX from Feb 10-13, 2019. CORTIME provides SolidWorks Design Exploration for both analysts and designers in booth 228. CORTIME is the next generation design exploration tool leveraging advanced parametric optimization, sensitivity analysis, visualization tools, and an intuitive user experience that is fully integrated with SolidWorks. CORTIME came about as a result of a PhD thesis in 2012 when Thøger Kari Hass, an optimization specialist and software developer saw the need for a much simpler and more efficient way to optimize CAD designs. CORTIME helps engineers explore optimal designs, by automating their design evaluation process by exploring based on the demands for your design and its performance goals. An example could be wanting to reduce the mass, while not compromising the durability of a product. CORTIME utilizes advanced parametric optimization, sensitivity analysis, and

121nexus, a pioneer in utilizing barcode technology to bridge information gaps between data sources and physical products, announces today its new company name, Soom. Through the rebranding, the company is also declaring its exclusive focus on the healthcare industry that goes hand in hand with its mission  –  to harness the power and efficiency of technology to advance the quality and safety of healthcare. For everyone. "Soom, meaning 'breath', encapsulates all that the company stands for. Like a breath of fresh air, we're rethinking how the healthcare industry uses proven technologies like barcodes and mobile scanning, as well as emerging technology like blockchain, to improve safety, collaboration, efficiency and equality throughout the healthcare value chain," says Charlie Kim, Soom's president and CEO. In 2015, the launch of the FDA's openFDA databases provided a wealth of product data, such as expiration dates and recall information. Soom combined the power of mobile scan

The company’s latest investment of $70 million was led by Goldman Sachs Private Capital and follows a $40 million investment round last September. But the company’s trajectory wasn’t always so certain. Schroer founded the company with his wife, Karen Schroer, in 2000, just before the dot-com collapse. The company grew slowly, funding itself largely through its own sales before it attracted a few rounds of venture funding, starting in 2003. Aras had a roster of mid-size clients at that point, but Schroer said the company needed to distinguish itself if it was going to succeed in a crowded market. So he decided on a new business model, essentially giving its open-source software away for free and charging money to support and adapt it to clients’ specific needs. That decision was going to mean slower growth, Schroer said. He said his venture investors were not willing to wait around, so he

Tata Consultancy Services announced the launch of its intelligent power plant solution, TCS IP2, to help power generating utilities digitally transform their operations and gain a competitive edge in the dynamic power market. The solution will support critical plant assets for uninterrupted power generation, improve operational efficiency, and minimize emissions. The increasing share of decentralized renewable power generation sources and the fluctuating structural needs of generation, transmission and distribution are creating challenges for power plants in their price competitiveness, operational flexibility, and compliance with ever tightening emission standards. TCS IP2 is an intelligent digital solution that leverages the Business 4.0™ thought leadership framework and artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and digital twin technologies, to optimize the performance of power plants that are operating at full and even partial load conditions. The solution, which can be on the cloud or on-premise, uses inputs from sensors in utility control systems and

Announced on the Modelon blog: Siemens Simcenter Amesim will use Modelon’s OPTIMICA Compiler Toolkit as its Modelica engine in the upcoming Simcenter Amesim 17 release. OPTIMICA is the most advanced Modelica-based mathematical engine on the market, built from the ground up to natively support the Modelica and FMI open standards. It offers a powerful API, native open-standards compliance, and a broad range of solvers capable of transient, steady-state and dynamic optimization. OPTIMICA is the calculation engine behind a growing list of commercial system simulation platforms. The partnership between Modelon and Siemens will allow Simcenter users to use develop, reuse and integrate Modelica libraries with Simcenter Amesim native libraries for dynamic multi-physics systems modeling. As a result, Simcenter Amesim 17 will fully support the Modelica standard, benefit from optimized code generated by OPTIMICA, and continue utilization of the Simcenter Amesim solver for simulation while remaining compatible with all Simcenter Amesim platform

FEATool Multiphysics version 1.9 has now been updated and released as a dedicated MATLAB Add-On and self-contained Toolbox. Available directly from the MATLAB Add-Ons Toolbar, FEATool now features easy and convenient one-click installation and Toolbox accessibility. # Improved OpenFOAM GUI Introduced with FEATool 1.8, the OpenFOAM CFD solver interface has been significantly enhanced and improved with the following enhancements - Support for non-constant and general initial and boundary condition expressions (automatic interpolation of non-constant expressions to OpenFOAM boundary case files, such as parabolic flow profiles) - Support for axisymmetry and swirl flows (automatic conversion of 2D grids to 3D periodic wedge grid slices compatible with axisymmetric OpenFOAM case files) - Support for inviscid compressible flows with the rhoCentralFoam solver - Improved k-epsilon and k-omega turbulence modeling interface with automatic calculation of turbulence inlet quantities via given turbulence intensity and length scale - Real-time

Electronic component manufacturers and their customers can now easily share design models between different thermal simulation toolsets thanks to the new open neutral file format developed by ANSYS. The open model format will promote interoperability and ease the exchange of data throughout the supply chain – saving manufacturers time, reducing import errors and improving accuracy. Thermal analysis is critical for new designs in the electronics industry, making it more important for suppliers and customers to exchange information and models. Many suppliers support the major industry leading tools with their component models to allow larger system modeling and a common format for data exchange. The release of a standard file format enables component suppliers to create a single compact model file to describe its thermal characteristics that work with any simulation software tool that adheres to the standard and will save users valuable time and reduce errors.  ANSYS collaborated with several industry

Accenture has named 762 people to managing director and senior managing director, including a record number of women. “Our new managing directors and senior managing directors truly embody what it means to be leaders at Accenture,” said Pierre Nanterme, Accenture’s chairman and CEO. “With their dedication to our core values, commitment to our people and superior service to our clients, they represent the future of Accenture and the best of a new generation of leaders in our industry.” The promotions — which span every geographic region and every part of the company’s business — reflect Accenture’s unwavering commitment to equality: A record 229 women were promoted to managing director, accounting for 32 percent of managing-director promotions, and 22 percent of all promotions to senior managing director were women, up from 19 percent last year. “We always look for ways to grow and innovate in how we develop and support our people,” Nanterme said.
