Successful consumer-facing companies are repurposing physical locations, exploring new business models, and rapidly adopting advanced analytics and other disruptive technologies to find new sources of growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way people live, work and socialize, accelerating demand for innovation, as retailers, consumer goods, and travel companies shift from reacting to the crisis to reinventing products and services, according to findings of a new global survey from Accenture.

After a year of lockdowns, 95% of survey respondents said they made at least one change to their lifestyle that they expect will be permanent. Working from home, changing travel patterns, and...

Ansys speeds lidar development to enhance autonomous driving hazard recognition

Velodyne and Ansys are developing software models of next-generation automotive lidar sensors to provide substantially improved hazard identification capabilities for highly advanced AVs. The collaboration incorporates Velodyne’s lidar design into Ansys’ virtual sensor suite and expedites automakers’ integration of Velodyne’s sensor into AVs — delivering industry-leading driving safety and a drastically faster path to market.

One of the challenges facing many advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is the robustness of the system to dependably test and recognize potentially dangerous edge case scenarios. To manage these anomalies, AVs require...

ModuleWorks announces the release of its 2021.04 CAD/CAM software components. This is the first major release of 2021 and is available now for download from the ModuleWorks website.

The ModuleWorks 2021.04 release contains new and enhanced features across the entire product range. The most important new developments are described below.

Users can now define a fixed contact point on the tool that enables the cone and cylinder to be used for deburring. This makes deburring an attractive option for chamfering because the cone and cylinder leave no imprint of the tool’s profile. To ensure a uniform chamfer, the tool is not tilted....

Leading global interoperability solution provider, International Technegroup Incorporated (ITI), is pleased to announce a partnership with Purdue University’s technology college, the Polytechnic Institute, to support enhanced CAD Modeling courses by utilizing CADIQ, ITI's CAD validation software.

CADIQ is a CAD vendor-neutral model verification and validation application for identifying model-based design (MBD) data quality issues, impacting downstream re-use for manufacturing, simulation, data exchange, and collaboration. CADIQ enables you to validate critical engineering processes, including engineering change, revision control, collaboration, and manufacturability.

CADIQ's key capabilities include:
