CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm and Longview Advisors, Inc., organizer of 3D CIC, announce that Jeff Plant, Chief Process Architect & Director of Business Capabilities at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, will make a keynote presentation at PLM Road Map™ for the Aerospace & Defense Industry featuring 3D CIC. This two-day event will be held October 28-29 at The Westfields Marriott – Washington, Dulles. All major PLM software providers offer commercial capability for conversion of their native format files into standard formats. Unfortunately, these conversions are neither complete nor consistent, nor do they address advanced CAD features. In his keynote address, Influencing Standards for Data Storage and Exchange, Plant will discuss strategies to influence future progress in closing the gap between native and standard formats. A critical prerequisite is knowing where to place the lever. Boeing has undertaken considerable research into the status and potential of

Onshape Inc., a provider of professional-level CAD tools in the cloud, has updated its flagship cloud-native 3D solution with a full-cloud drawing system for creating 2D drawings. Onshape is a full, cloud-native CAD system accessible with a Web browser, smartphone or tablet. It has built-in version control, eliminating the need for a separate PDM (product data management) application, as well as such functionality as access control, revision labels, part numbers and states such as in-progress and released. Onshape can read native AutoCAD, CATIA, Inventor, PTC Creo and SolidWorks data, and it can write AutoCAD and SolidWorks data as well as neutral files such as Parasolid and STL. With the new Onshape Drawings 2D toolset, users can now create standard, projected, auxiliary and section views. It has dimension and annotation tools that, the company says, give users the ability to create production-ready drawings. Onshape files can be exported into DXF, DWG and

Altair today announced that FluiDyna has joined the Altair Partner Alliance (APA), adding nanoFluidX and ultraFluidX to its software portfolio. Both software bring unique capabilities to HyperWorks customers. nanoFluidX is based on a particle-based method for fluid flow simulation, and ultraFluidX applies the Lattice Boltzmann Method to study external aerodynamics. Both technologies utilize graphics processing unit (GPU) technology for fast, large-scale computation. "FluiDyna is delighted to be joining the Altair family," said Dr. Thomas Indinger, Founder & CEO at FluiDyna. "The capabilities of nanoFluidX and ultraFluidX complement HyperWorks by adding alternative fluid flow modeling techniques.
