Thousands of university students throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa will now have access to the suite of leading electronics simulation solutions used by professionals, thanks to a new agreement between ANSYS and EUROPRACTICE. Under the agreement, such electronics solutions as ANSYS® HFSS™ and ANSYS RedHawk™ will be available to EUROPRACTICE members, representing more than 500 universities in 42 counties. EUROPRACTICE is a European Community initiative to stimulate the wider application of state-of-the-art microelectronics simulation technologies by European industries. "EUROPRACTICE's goal is to enhance European industrial competitiveness in the global marketplace," said Dr. John McLean, division head of the Science and Technology Facilities Council's Microelectronics Support Centre. "By partnering with ANSYS, we'll be able to get more cutting-edge tools into our members' hands." The EUROPRACTICE Design Tool Service provides easy access to a range of design tools for non-commercial teaching and research. As part of the agreement, member universities can quickly download ANSYS solutions at a discounted price. For example, the University of Oxford will use ANSYS solutions to support research in superconducting

IMSI®/Design announced TurboSite® Pro v4.1, TurboSite Plus v4.1, and TurboSite Standard v4.1, the award-winning apps for field reporting. Topping the list of new features is the industry's first editable PDF forms-driven frontend for mobile site evaluations. "For the first time, a company doing a site evaluation can drive the process visually or use a more traditional 'clipboard & forms' approach," stated Royal Farros, CEO of IMSI/Design.  "Not only can any multipage PDF form be viewed, but TurboSite uniquely supports text entry and checkbox editing on those forms, too.  This is a big win for companies since the majority of site evaluations are still forms based.  It's also another way TurboSite is fundamentally different from all other viewing & markup apps in mobile."  New features in TurboSite v4.1 include: Editable PDF Form Support:  True Textbox and Checkbox editing is now supported in multipage PDF Form documents Cloud Storage Syncing:  Open/Save directly to Box, Dropbox, WebDav, and FTP servers; 

Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced its new Xpedition® Package Integrator flow, one of the industry's broadest solution for integrated circuit (IC), package, and printed circuit board (PCB) co-design and optimization. The Package Integrator solution automates planning, assembly and optimization of today's complex multi-die packages. It incorporates a unique virtual die model concept for true IC-to-package co-optimization. In support of early marketing-level studies for a proposed new device, users can now plan, assemble and optimize complex systems with minimal source data. The new Package Integrator flow allows design teams to realize faster and more efficient physical path finding and seamless tool integration for rapid prototyping, right to the production flow. This solution ensures that ICs, packages and PCBs are optimized with each other to reduce package substrate and PCB costs by efficient layer reduction, optimized interconnect paths, and streamlined/automated control of the design process. The Xpedition Package Integrator product also provides the

Delcam has added a number of new options for reverse engineering to its PowerSHAPE Pro software for the design of products and tooling.  The 2015 R2 release of the software also includes improvements to speed up and simplify the editing of product designs to make them more suitable for manufacture. By offering a combination of solid, surface and direct modelling, together with reverse engineering, PowerSHAPE Pro provides the most comprehensive range of design techniques available in a single CAD program.  Having all the different technologies in the same package reduces the need to transfer data between multiple programs and so streamlines any product-development process that requires both reverse-engineering and CAD functionality.  PowerSHAPE Pro can connect directly to most scanning hardware to capture and display scan data in real time.  The 2015 R2 version includes a new split-screen alignment option that makes it quicker and easier to combine multiple scans, taken, for example, from

Autodesk, Inc. today announced the availability of AutoCAD 2016, the latest release of one of the world’s leading computer-aided design (CAD) applications. The 2016 release includes scores of new features that accelerate the 2D and 3D design, documentation and collaboration process while enriching the on-screen experience of creating almost any shape imaginable. In addition, users can confidently share their work with others using TrustedDWG™ technology, the original and most accurate way to store and exchange design data. “AutoCAD 2016 makes detailing and documentation work faster, while stunning visual enhancements bring a new level of clarity and depth to every aspect of a design,” said Amy Bunszel, vice president of AutoCAD products, Autodesk. “Our customers will also appreciate productivity boosts like enhanced PDF output and tighter coordination with Building Information Modeling (BIM).” “The enhancements brought this product to another level,” said senior architect, Dr. Santi Maggio Savasta, M.Arch, Ph.D., with Santi Maggio Savasta Architect. “The improvements

The iconic “Rocky Steps” will lead attendees of the Vectorworks Design Summit to a Customer Appreciation Party at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Hosted by global design software developer Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc., the party will bring together architecture, landscape and entertainment design visionaries, Vectorworks software engineers and global partner product providers for a night of fun, which begins at 7 p.m. and ends at 11 p.m. ET.
