 PDF Key takeaways: A successful CAD collaboration visualization solution must be cost effective, easy to use, and platform independent. HCL’s Glovius solution meets all three business challenges and delivers important capabilities into the hands of downstream users of design data within the organization and the supply chain. Glovius directly imports CAD and standard CAD formats without needing a license to any CAD solution. Collaborative visualization holds the promise of transforming product development—reducing time to market, improving product quality, and enhancing product capabilities to best satisfy customer and market needs. Initial entry into collaborative visualization begins with the ability to leverage design engineering’s virtual CAD models and share them with downstream technical and business organizations, the supply chain, and customers. An effective collaboration visualization solution, however, requires extensive capabilities beyond just viewing. The business environment for new product development faces three major challenges that must be overcome to provide a successful collaborative visualization solution. The first is

Dassault Systèmes and the University of Adelaide have further strengthened their strategic partnership with the announcement that Dassault Systèmes will establish its South Australian regional center on campus at the University. Dassault Systèmes will create a new Adelaide-based team comprising staff from France and India, and will host University of Adelaide interns at its Adelaide operations. The South Australian regional center – the first Dassault Systèmes office to be established at an Australian university – will be embedded in one of the flagship engineering buildings on the University's North Terrace campus. "The colocation of Dassault Systèmes in the heart of where we conduct engineering teaching and research will provide a deeper link between the University of Adelaide and a global industry leader," says the University's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Peter Rathjen. "Our growing partnership with Dassault Systèmes means that our engineering students will have further opportunities to develop industry-ready skills, enabling them to serve the

COMSOL, Inc. published the annual edition of COMSOL News today. The magazine features case studies of simulation specialists working with their colleagues and customers to find solutions that can satisfy both business and engineering goals. Enabled by high-fidelity multiphysics models of the products they want to design and a culture of collaboration with the convenience of simulation apps, engineers are pushing the limits of technology while reducing the need for physical prototypes. COMSOL News 2018 reports on how creating accurate digital prototypes and deploying simulation apps has become standard practice among industry leaders. Justin McKennon, who leads the Modeling and Analytical Team at NTS Pittsfield, said “Time is money in our industry, and our customers are very pleased with the service we’re able to provide thanks to our multiphysics modeling capabilities. In fact, some customers are so confident in the validity of our simulations that they’ve begun to make wholesale

Altair has acquired Germany-based FluiDyna GmbH, a renowned developer of NVIDIA CUDA and GPU-based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and numerical simulation technologies in whom Altair made an initial investment in 2015. FluiDyna’s simulation software products ultraFluidX and nanoFluidX have been available to Altair’s customers through the Altair Partner Alliance and also offered as standalone licenses.  ultraFluidX solves large-scale internal and external aerodynamics problems for a broad class of applications including ultra-fast prediction and evaluation of vehicle, building, and environmental aerodynamics. The software is based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method, providing users with superior performance and dramatically reducing the model preparation time for large, complex models. The integrated volume meshing and fast transient analyses deliver short turnaround times, resulting in completely new possibilities for simulation-driven design and significant cost savings.  nanoFluidX is a fluid dynamics simulation tool based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method to predict the flow in complex geometries

 PDF Key takeaways: Actify’s solutions enrich and complement existing enterprise environments, such as PLM and ERP, by bridging information silos to provide informed analysis of disparate data, providing product data intelligence. The Actify suite works both within enterprise environments and as a standalone solution that provides an intelligent, visual-based view into product information. The solutions are deployed as a service and priced by the size of the user community. Common Data Intelligence Issues Discrete manufacturers of all sizes share a data problem: How to maximize value from all of the information that is available about products and services? This issue manifests itself throughout product lifecycles: during the product innovation process as well as after products are placed in service. Sharing product data in the enterprise in meaningful ways that unlock insight and support collaboration, efficiencies, and cost reduction is critical to expanding data’s worth. The more that data is shared and reused, the more value is extracted
