Tecplot, Inc. today announced the general availability of Tecplot Chorus 2015 Release 2. The most notable functionality enhancements in the new release include constraint visualization, selected-cases view, and license roaming. Constraint visualization has been added to 2D scatter plots to aid in trade studies. It allows engineers to quickly see which points in their design space are close to the constraint boundaries. With this information engineers may be willing to relax a constraint to achieve a lighter, stronger, or more efficient design. The selected-cases view lets engineers quickly see which cases are selected in each view so they can make quick comparisons of selected points. No longer will users have to scroll through hundreds or thousands of cases in the Table View to see the few cases of interest. With the new license-roaming feature, users can now roam with a network license, allowing them to use Tecplot Chorus for a period of time

ModuleWorks announced the availability of Simulation for hybrid additive/subtractive manufacturing applications. Additive manufacturing builds a part from a powdered material as opposed to the traditional subtractive process where material is removed to create the final part. Although still relatively new, the technology has seen significant growth and is now seen in many walks of manufacturing. Machine Tool companies have reacted by producing a new generation of machine tools that combine additive and subtractive technologies in a hybrid approach. Typically the part is built using additive technology and then finished using subtractive machining techniques. ModuleWorks Simulation, which is found in many of the leading CAD/CAM products and also on many machine tool controls now offers the ability to simulate the additive process and combines it with the subtractive process to provide complete simulation of the manufacturing process. Full stock material addition and removal is provided along with full kinematic machine simulation. David Plater, Technical

BIM and VDC experts from construction, designer and owners companies across North America, including Balfour Beatty, Sutter Health, McCarthy Building Companies , A ECOM , VEGA Architecture, the California High -Speed Rail Authority and many more will converge in San Francisco on August 26-27 for the BIM Integration Congress. With the global BIM market set to grow at a CAGR of 17.4% over the period 2013-2018, BIM has rapidly become a mainstream tool for designers and contractors. As for owners, they are gradually realizing that the deliverables provided help to dramatically cut down the lifecycle costs of asset management. So overall, the adoption of BIM is turning into a no-brainer for all stakeholders. However, while designers, contractors and owners feel increasingly confident using BIM software and related technologies, one major challenge still remains: tightly integrating BIM in the workflow of multi-office teams. Matt Zwetzig, Director of Virtual Design Construction at VEGA Architecture recently pinpointed that " Many people associate the term BIM with a 3D model, which it is on the surface. But, like
