 PDF How manufacturers can evolve beyond PDM using use-case-driven PLM capabilities Takeaways PLM modernization must align with operational reality, not force disruptive transformation. A secure, connected system of record is foundational to digital continuity. Manufacturers require governed, accessible product data with strong security and controlled access across the lifecycle. PLM value is increasingly delivered through modular, use-case-driven capabilities. Web-based modules, such as Engineering Change Management, enable rapid deployment and faster time to value without requiring a full platform replacement. Hybrid architectures provide a practical bridge between legacy environments and modern PLM capabilities. They allow organizations to maintain CAD-centric operations while introducing web browser-based and SaaS capabilities where they deliver the most value. AI in PLM must focus on practical productivity gains, not abstract intelligence. Looking ahead, capabilities such as semantic search and automated metadata extraction will further improve data access, quality, and efficiency within existing workflows. PRO.FILE’s hybrid architecture enables incremental evolution, preserving existing investments while expanding

Autodesk is launching Autodesk for Small Business to unlock growth for the many small teams and entrepreneurs who depend on its technology.  Across Design and Make industries, more professionals are working independently and building businesses of their own. More than one-third of the workforce* now operates as freelancers or contractors, and nearly 1 in 5 professionals are considering starting their own business this year. Yet these teams are doing high-impact work with limited time, resources, and support. Eighty percent say they struggle to balance running the business with doing the actual work. As Autodesk’s customers and the way they work have evolved, so has the need to better support the full range of businesses that rely on the company’s technology, particularly small teams, independent professionals, and growing firms. It’s critical that technology and experiences reflect how these teams operate day to day. “More people than ever are designing, building, and running their own businesses. That creates extraordinary opportunity, but also real pressure for small teams to do more with less. Today, 80% of small business owners say

Coreform Inc., developer of next-generation computer-aided engineering software, has been named a Simulia Integration Partner by Dassault Systèmes. The designation paves the way for Abaqus users to leverage Coreform's isogeometric analysis (IGA) technology through a seamless add-in, Coreform IGA for Abaqus. "We're excited to partner with Dassault Systèmes to bring the power of Coreform IGA to the Abaqus community," said Matthew Sederberg, CEO of Coreform. "This partnership is a significant step toward making advanced simulation more accessible and efficient for engineers working on complex, real-world geometry." For decades, the labor-intensive steps of geometry simplification and mesh preparation have been among the greatest bottlenecks in simulation. Coreform has developed technology that lets simulations run directly on fully-featured CAD geometry, even for nonlinear and geometrically complex problems. That capability is now coming to one of the world's most widely used simulation solvers. The Coreform IGA for Abaqus add-in extends Abaqus workflows by allowing engineers to
