CCE, a leading provider in advanced interoperability technology and engineering services, has released updates of its Open Data Exchange (ODX) libraries. Parallel processing support has been extended for CATIA and NX; this feature enables applications to import and export documents in multiple threads. To elaborate, CCE’s ODX libraries are thread-safe; this allows applications to process multiple documents, simultaneously. This increases user productivity in many ways, such as: Users can process multiple components of an assembly in parallel to enable faster loading of large assemblies. Users can process multiple part/assembly files in batch mode for quicker translations. Users can process different representations, such as lightweight (tessellated data) and geometry (B-rep) of a part, simultaneously. “We want to empower application developers with the proper tools so that they can take advantage of today’s powerful hardware, which contain multiple cores/processors. Enhancing our CATIA and NX ODX libraries to support parallel processing is a step in this direction,”

IronCAD, LLC announced that effective immediately all IronCAD product versions 2016 and higher will now be using new download manager technology. This is to improve the speed and reliability of downloads and to simply the install process ensuring a higher quality user experience. IronCAD in partnering with Akamai and Solid State Networks, has developed a new download system for delivering their software solutions and content. Previously, users had to download IronCAD via a web browser, which given the large size of the download, may be cancelled due to time constraints or a dropped internet connection. With this new partnership and download manager, users simply download a small 2 MB download manager that requires no installation and runs the application. Once launched, the download manager will begin the download process delivering the IronCAD software from Akamai's global content delivery network. Users can download the entire application, pause, even cancel and then

Key takeaways: Software increasingly has become the technology differentiator in today’s complex products—without integrating software into the product development process, product launches can become market failures Integrated Product Development Lifecycle should be tool agnostic and able to use existing installed toolsets that are already in production, rather than requiring a rip-and-replace approach Wipro has developed an holistic and product agnostic framework uniting software development into PLM Over the last few decades, manufactured products have become increasingly “smart,” driving growth in the level of embedded electronics and software. The ubiquity of Internet access and the availability of cheap sensors and computing power make it easy to connect these smart products to drive new value for customers, enable innovative business models, and help manufacturing companies learn how their products are actually used and perform in the field. Based on CIMdata’s consulting experience, many industrial companies are still struggling to adopt the technologies and processes necessary to make
