solidThinking, Inc., with Luxion, Inc., today announced the availability of LiveLinking, a complete integration between solidThinking Evolve and KeyShot. This new integration allows users to generate photographic images and animations of their designs quickly and easily. LiveLinking enables continuous updates to KeyShot scenes directly from Evolve, speeding up the design process and eliminating the rework associated with design changes. In solidThinking Evolve, users are able to explore styling and design solutions with the freedom of organic surfaces and parametric, history-based solids. Now, with a single click, users can export the model directly from Evolve into KeyShot. In KeyShot, users may apply scientifically accurate materials, real-world lighting, and animations to the model through simple drag-and-drop operations while seeing the results in real-time.  With this integration, changes to the model in Evolve will automatically update the geometry in KeyShot without the need to re-apply materials, lighting, animations, or camera views. This eliminates rework, streamlining the workflow

Bricsys released BricsCAD V14.2 upgrade including the completely reworked Generative Drafting functionality and new Sheet Metal features. BricsCAD offers all the familiar CAD features, yet it adds time saving tools and 3D Direct Modeling at 1/5th of the cost. The V14.2 major upgrade includes 68 new and improved features including: Generative Drafting  Creating 2D drawings from 3D models is now easier than before. The 2D views are automatically updated when the source 3D model changes. Views can be exported to model space, comparable to the former Quickdraw functionality. Sheet Metal  It’s now possible to associate a bending table with a Sheet Metal model. Bend deduction values from the table are used to exactly calculate unfolding, matching the used manufacturing tools. Flange Connect allows closing gaps between two flanges. Snapping improvements  Snap Track creates a smart tracking line. Snap Track Lock locks the snap track path. Hatch Pattern Snap adds snapping to hatch pattern geometry. Other new features such

AVEVA today announced that Paul Wurth, a leading engineering company in the Iron &Steel industry, has implemented AVEVA Everything3D (AVEVA E3D), AVEVA’s next-generation plant design software. By using this with other tools from the AVEVA Integrated Engineering & Design suite of solutions, Paul Wurth will benefit from enhanced capabilities, improved integration and seamless global work-sharing. “We piloted an alternative solution for 18 months, but as projects grow ever larger and become technically more challenging, it could not offer us the scalability of AVEVA E3D,”said Nicolas Leclaire, Head of Engineering applications, Paul Wurth. “In addition, we need a wide range of design and engineering tools that integrate seamlessly and enable projects to be worked on across multiple sites. AVEVA Everything3D will save us time and cost across the whole design process by eliminating unnecessary rework, both in the design office and in construction, keeping us competitive in an ever-changing environment,” said Georges Schreiner,

Bentley Systems, Incorporated, today announced that American Electric Power (AEP), one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, has chosen to enhance its electric substation design practices with Bentley Substation. By taking advantage of Bentley Substation’s integrated set of capabilities combining intuitive 3D modeling, electrical design functionality, and automatic bills of materials and report generation, AEP will gain from B/IM, Bentley’s advancement of the reach and benefits of “BIM” – for better-performing assets through increased depth of information modeling, and better-performing projects through increased breadth of information mobility. As a result, AEP anticipates faster design cycles and improved collaboration across physical and electrical design disciplines. AEP selected Bentley Substation based on a careful review of commercially available alternatives, the productivity benefits demonstrated at other utilities, and the estimated improvement the software would make in its own design processes. AEP is making Bentley Substation available to the more than 100 staff members in its transmission and engineering organization and plans
