GRAPHISOFT® has announced the launch of EcoDesigner STAR, the first software that places standard-compliant energy analysis in the heart of the architect's familiar BIM work environment. EcoDesigner STAR enables architects to design the most energy-efficient buildings, by themselves or working together with engineers or specialist consultants. Partnering with StruSoft three years ago, the single mission was to revolutionize how sustainable design is carried out in the Building Information Modeling environment. The result of their cooperation was the realization that while "energy" continues to be primarily a concern for engineers, the most important decisions influencing the energy performance of the completed building are made by the architect. "The combination of the BIM model with hourly energy simulation based on weather conditions and operation profiles creates a virtual reality design environment that adds another dimension to the ArchiCAD Building Information Modeling experience," said Miklos Sved, EcoDesigner Product Manager, GRAPHISOFT. EcoDesigner STAR enables architects to use ArchiCAD's building

When: Tuesday, February 11th Time: 9:30AM - 3:30PM Where: Tampa Haas Factory Outlet 913 US Highway 301 S Tampa, FL  33619 Future events: March 2014: Alabama’s Harden Machine

The privately owned Australian company CADspace - which last year was selected by Solidworks to represent them in Australia - is celebrating its stellar start after being named the Best New VAR in the Asia Pacific South region. The prestigious international award was presented to CADspace founder and managing director Steve Thomas by SolidWorks ANZ Territory sales manager Chris Evens. The global 3D CAD/CAM software developer, which has more than two million users around the world, announced the addition of CADspace to their distribution channel in mid-2013 following an exhaustive review process. Steve believes the quick success of CADspace has come from a passionate and dedicated team with an abundance of industry know-how and good old fashioned customer service, “We have been involved in the CAD industry for more than two decades and over that time we’ve developed a comprehensive understanding of Design To Manufacture and Product Lifecycle Management. We have customers in mechanical design, engineering

Students at San Jose State University's (SJSU) Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering stand to benefit from leveraging ANSYS Inc.'s structural analysis, fluid dynamics and electronics simulation solutions in their classroom and laboratory environments. By making ANSYS technology available in its mechanical, electrical and civil engineering departments, SJSU's students will receive a modern product development education with sophisticated software that is widely deployed in the engineering universe. "SJSU is excited to provide its engineering students with access to the ANSYS simulation product suite," said Fred Baraz, professor of SJSU's mechanical engineering department. "Having our students exposed to such complex technology is extremely beneficial, especially early in their career development. We look forward to continuing to work with ANSYS and pushing the technology envelope." "ANSYS is committed to helping today's students become tomorrow's innovators," said Arin Rouse, academic program manager at ANSYS. "Currently, many graduating engineers have not been exposed to simulation technology.  Our relationship with San Jose State will help produce engineers

​Being a PLM value added reseller (VAR) is a challenging gig. You have to stay up-to-date with the latest from your software independent software vendor (ISV). With all of the mergers & acquisitions (M&A) over the last few years, the list keeps growing. There are also business model changes in the offing, with many PLM solution providers adding cloud-based solutions to their on-premise portfolio. In CIMdata’s Channel Practice, we often discuss this issue and suggest that PLM VARs need to find something distinctive, some intellectual property or unique expertise to separate them from the pack. Recently I had a call with Frank Thomas, President of Adaptive Corporation, Inc. (www.adaptivecorp.com), a company that is a great example of building unique offerings on top of their VAR business.  Adaptive started back in 2006 in Cleveland, during the time when IBM and Dassault Systèmes (DS) were changing their go-to-market relationship.

Delcam has released the 2014 R2 version of its FeatureCAM feature-based CAM which provides support for milling and drilling with right-angle heads, and one-stop programming of multiple roughing operations.  Other enhancements in this release include better control of Z-level roughing, and improvements to Wire EDM and chamfering. For full details, including video demonstrations of the new functionality, and to download an evaluation version of FeatureCAM, please go to www.delcam.tv/fc2014 FeatureCAM was the world’s first feature-based programming software when it was launched in 1995.  Constant development since then has ensured that the system has retained its leadership in programming speed and ease of use, while an increased range of strategies has been added to provide more efficient toolpaths giving greater productivity on a wider range of machines. Right-angle heads allow internal pockets to be milled and internal holes to be drilled that would be inaccessible, and so impossible to produce, using a conventional head.  They
