Altium Limited has announced the release of a major update to their enterprise PCB design data management solution - Altium Vault. This new update includes a number of new features to improve the automation and management of design data, with updates to every major feature category including component management, data management, project collaboration, and infrastructure management. Altium Vault 2.5 is available now to all Altium Vault Subscription customers. “We’ve taken the opportunity in this newest Altium Vault update to carefully identify and optimize those tasks that we found our customers utilizing on a daily basis,” said Nikolay Ponomarenko, Product Manager at Altium. “Altium Vault 2.5 is all about automating those data management tasks that pull designers away from the actual design process, and providing greater control and specificity in those domains that still rely on human precision and analysis.” NEW FEATURES IN ALTIUM VAULT 2.5 The new features in Altium Vault build off an

CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces the release of the 2015 CIMdata NC Market Analysis Report (MAR), the twenty-fourth annual study of the global Numerical Control (NC) market. CIMdata estimates that based on end-user payments, the worldwide NC software and related services market grew by 7.3% in calendar year 2014. The estimated end-user payments grew from $1.64 billion in 2013 to $1.76 billion in 2014. The market growth rate reflects solid overall NC spending, continuing the recovery from the downturn in the global economy. CIMdata projects that in 2015 growth in manufacturing will continue and end-user payments for NC software will increase by 6.7% to $1.88 billion. Since 2002, the NC software market has shown modest but steady growth as global economies generally improved. There has been worldwide growth in the sale of machine tools and manufacturing output; greater emphasis has been placed on

nPower Software has released a powerful new reverse engineering product, Power Surfacing RE. Power Surfacing RE is an add-in reverse engineering (RE) product for SolidWorks 3D design software that significantly improves the process for reverse engineering scanned meshes, other mesh data, and SolidWorks geometry within SolidWorks. Power Surfacing RE is built on top of nPower’s Power Surfacing product. Dealing with scanned meshes can be tricky and time consuming. Power Surfacing RE simplifies the process with tools to reference and convert the scanned mesh into “standard” SolidWorks NURBS geometry. Once the scanned mesh is converted into typical SolidWorks geometry, users can apply all the SolidWorks commands normally used on native SolidWorks geometry. Power Surfacing RE also includes mesh cleanup and preparation tools to simply the reverse engineering process. For example, users can patch/fill holes while maintaining the overall surface continuity, flip faces on inverted meshes, and visually compare the distance between the original mesh and

Toshiba Corporation has developed an SSD(Note 1) design optimization platform that realizes efficient analysis of various SSD simulations, greatly reducing work on design optimization. Toshiba will present details at the Design Automation Conference in San Francisco, California on June 8. As NAND flash memory storage densities continue to climb, SSDs are finding much wider application in data centers and industrial equipment. However, increasing design complexity requires designers to combine SSD design parameters carefully, and the diversity of requirements for capacity, performance, power consumption and reliability complicates optimization. With optimization based on traditional methods becoming increasingly difficult, technologies that efficiently identify optimal solutions for a given combination of SSD design parameters are desired. Toshiba has developed a unified SSD design optimization platform made up of ArcHunter, which carries out a variety of SSD simulations, and Polyspector, which summarizes simulation results for efficient analysis. Together, they allow easy construction and comparison of a wide

PTC today announced that Hasbro Inc., a global company committed to Creating the World's Best Play Experiences, has chosen PTC Windchill FlexPLM as its product development solution. With PTC Windchill FlexPLM, Hasbro will be able to better streamline and centralize its product development processes and data, as well as gain greater visibility into product data during all phases of design, development and sourcing. Because Hasbro is a global company with numerous product lines, it needed a product development system that would allow it to more effectively centralize its processes throughout the product lifecycle. By leveraging the PTC Windchill FlexPLM proven architecture for hardline and soft goods management, Hasbro will have a single platform, with engineering data managed in PTC Windchill. “Our consumers are at the heart of everything that we do, and we’ve been successful in delivering compelling and engaging experiences by listening to our consumers,” said John Frascotti, President, Hasbro Brands. “In order

9 June 2015 Faist, a multinational group operating through its 24 plants in Europe, North America and China, has chosen and implemented RuleDesigner enterprise PLM software suite to support inter-company collaboration and improve performances in PLM processes. The project in question was characterized by high complex PLM workflows due to the fact that processes must be compliant to AIAG procedures for the automotive industry, but also due to the peculiarities of the company business reality. By using RuleDesigner it was possible to establish comprehensive PLM processes able to integrate 5 business units and 7 local plants, for a total amount of 222 users. Processes are structured in different stages spanning from the customer request to production and are supported by more than 100 automation procedures. These procedures are realized directly by the company IT team, autonomously, using rule-based modelling tools provided by RuleDesigner. Moreover, the integrated process configurator allowed to set up configuration processes aimed

Comet Solutions, Inc. announces that Chief Technology Officer, Malcolm Panthaki, will be a featured presenter at the “Democratising CAE” Simulation Process & Data Management (SPDM) Workshop at the upcoming NAFEMS World Congress (June 21-24, San Diego, CA).  Mr. Panthaki’s presentation is titled: Making the Full Power of Simulation Available to Everyone – At the Confluence of Solution-Specific Web Apps, “Lights-Out” Automation, Design Optimization, and “Infinite, Elastic Computing” on the Cloud. Solution-specific Simulation Applications (SimApps) are targeted, easy-to-use applications that drive complex simulation templates, and speak the language of the user/engineer. SimApps allow product designers and engineers, without expertise in the use of simulation tools, to safely and quickly evaluate their designs using complex simulations. NAFEMS workshop attendees will learn how Comet’s manufacturing customers such as Intel, American Axle Manufacturing (AAM), and Magna Cosma, are employing SimApps to extend the use of simulation beyond a small number of CAE experts. These manufacturers and others featured
