Global design and BIM software developer Vectorworks, Inc. announces their partnership with Modelo, creators of the software plug-in of the same name, which is the fastest real-time, web-based 3D model communication tool in the AEC industry. Modelo allows for architects and designers to upload their 3D Vectorworks files (VWX) directly into the browser-based 3D presentation and collaboration tool. Once files are uploaded to the plug-in, professionals can present and share their 3D files with clients, colleagues and consultants. Viewers can leave feedback and markups, without needing to install Vectorworks software, which are then archived for future reference. The academic community can also take advantage of the free version or trial to achieve the same collaborative and communicative opportunities. “In today’s highly competitive market, the ability to quickly and effectively communicate about a design in 3D with clients and collaborators is of the upmost importance,” said Jeremy Powell, product marketing director at Vectorworks. “Our

CoreTech System (Moldex3D) has released a new version of its CAD-integrated add-on eDesignSYNC to help accelerate design and manufacturing process through greater simulation accuracy and efficiency. CoreTech System (Moldex3D) is also offering a limited-time offer which will see customers receive a free license for the eDesignSYNC when they purchase or upgrade to Moldex3D R14 by the end of this year. Linking Moldex3D plastic injection molding simulation directly into mainstream CAD systems (NX, PTC Creo and SOLIDWORKS), eDesignSYNC enables real-time insights into moldability to address potential design issues before production. In the latest version, eDesignSYNC R14.0 comes with several enhancements to help users identify design problems and make design changes more accurately and efficiently—most notably, the solver’s performance has been elevated to yield more accurate simulation analysis results. The new feature Result Advisor is introduced to speed up the process of problem detection by offering users a quick summary report of what potential design problems

Invicara, provider of transformative solutions for building information modeling (BIM), today announced the release of BIM Assure, a collaborative, cloud solution that unlocks BIM data and helps the entire project team streamline BIM data management. BIM Assure’s intelligent rules help users to quickly identify and resolve issues to improve BIM quality and then sync the corrections back to the source model. In addition, because it is cloud-based and easy to use, BIM Assure provides a common BIM environment that lets architects, engineers, contractors, and owners (AECO) share models and manage data, creating new opportunities to streamline design and construction workflows and improve project delivery. “Design, construction and operations of buildings will be reshaped by the industrialization and automation of construction through the adoption of digital technologies and processes,” said Anand Mecheri, CEO and Founder of Invicara. “BIM Assure will help the industry leverage information in BIM models for data driven
