Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refinery Company Ltd. (YASREF) has recently chosen Intergraph® SmartPlant® Enterprise solutions to optimize the operation and maintenance of its full-conversion refinery. The project is a significant undertaking and involves the construction and operation of a 400,000-barrel per day (bpd) integrated petroleum refinery in Saudi Arabia. YASREF initially used several solutions from the SmartPlant suite, including SmartPlant Instrumentation, SmartPlant P&ID and PDS®. YASREF later implemented the Engineering Document Management System (EDMS) based on SmartPlant Foundation to achieve complete integration. YASREF has achieved fully integrated plant design in order to provide fast, intuitive and role-based access to help manage the most accurate engineering documents. SmartPlant Foundation has provided all required features to manage engineering documents including storage of electronic engineering documents, methods to search and download/upload documents, and full Management of Change (MOC). Abdulhannan M. Karim, senior engineer at YASREF, said, “For YASREF, we executed the implementation of the EDMS in its

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) recently set a new world record by scaling CD-adapco’s flagship simulation tool STAR-CCM+® to 102,000 cores on the Blue Waters supercomputer. STAR-CCM+ is a comprehensive multidisciplinary engineering simulation tool used across many industries to stimulate innovation and lower product development costs. CD-adapco joined with NCSA’s Private Sector Program and Blue Waters manufacturer Cray to push the code to new heights and address the ever-increasing demands of fast turnaround time. According to Ahmed Taha, the NCSA senior computational resource coordinator who led this extreme benchmarking project, using such a massive number of cores requires a powerful, robust MPI protocol, which was provided by Cray. CD-adapco also fine-tuned their code to improve parallel I/O. The result of this collaborative effort over the past eight months was a steady increase in scaling, from a 105 million cell model running on 13,000 cores to a 1 billion cell model hitting

ESI Group, solution provider of Virtual Prototyping for manufacturing industries announces its participation in the project “Passenger Seats of the Future”. Led jointly with Zodiac Seats France this project involves French industrial, academic and institutional partners, and has as its objective the identification of innovative solutions that will meet the expectations of both airlines and passengers for aircraft seats. Virtual Seat Solution is a unique software solution dedicated to seat prototyping In the highly competitive business of civil aviation, seats are a key element for airlines to maximize revenue by optimizing payload. Seats also embody an airline’s differentiation strategy: they are the flagship component in the cabin and a means to entice and retain customers. Having the right seats represents a true competitive advantage and consequentially aircraft seats are of growing importance. This is well illustrated by the action of Air France, which is currently upgrading its long-haul fleet and will add

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. announced that it is collaborating with Imagination Technologies to enhance RTL designer productivity and enable faster design convergence on Imagination graphics cores and other Imagination intellectual property (IP) using the Cadence® Genus™ Synthesis Solution. On the PowerVR GE7800 GPU, the Genus Synthesis Solution achieved a 5X improvement in turnaround time versus the previous Cadence synthesis solution with no impact on power, performance or area (PPA). The Genus Synthesis Solution is able to synthesize a flat full graphics processor overnight, significantly improving design productivity by eliminating manual partitioning effort and avoiding poor timing optimization on cross-partition boundary paths. Synthesis runs are automatically distributed across multiple machines and CPUs, eliminating the need for manual design partitioning. This distributed processing includes intelligent resource management to ensure that no machine becomes a turnaround time bottleneck, thereby allowing turnaround times to scale linearly well beyond 10 million instances without any impact on

Aras®, the next leader in enterprise Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, today announced the expansion of the Center for Automotive Innovation (CAI) in Detroit, Michigan. The CAI combines Aras’s advanced PLM platform and open architecture with knowledgeable, specialized resources to provide automotive OEMs and suppliers around the world with best-in-class enterprise solutions to drive innovation and advance the development, implementation and adoption of emerging vehicle technology. “We have established the Center for Automotive Innovation to address challenges the industry faces with advanced product and process innovation,” said Peter Schroer, CEO of Aras. Leading the efforts of the CAI is Bill Bone, CTO of Automotive Solutions at Aras. Prior to joining Aras, Bone was an IT Director at GM. To celebrate the expansion of the CAI, Aras is holding an open house on Wednesday, June 24th. The event will give attendees the opportunity to learn more about the CAI initiatives, network with the

Myntra, now the app-only fashion marketplace, has tied up with Dassault Systèmes to run a 3D experience for clients and also cut costs and reduce time to bring samples online. Dassault Systèmes is the software arm of the Serge Dassault-run group widely known for aviation. As a part of the deal, Myntra will adopt the 3D digital mock up and product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions starting Wednesday. Dassault Systèmes promotes its solution with the tag of 'my collection for fashion' which allows digital marketplaces to easily make models, virtual showrooms and study usage analytics. The move assumes significance in wake of the growing e-commerce boom in India due to which online fashion has become very competitive. Commenting on the new deal, Chandan Chowdhury, managing director at Dassault Systemes' Indian arm, said: "Fashion and lifestyle industry in India is growing rapidly. Over the years, brands have realised that consumer experiences are becoming the focal point of

At EyeforPharma, Real World Evidence in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Zephyr Health announced the launch of its Real World data initiative using statistics on diabetes in England as the basis for demonstrating how patient outcomes can add value to commercial strategies. Real world data is essential to gain competitive advantage for the launch of a biopharmaceutical or medical device product. Until today, creating actionable insights from disparate healthcare sources has been a challenge. Zephyr Health’s solutions create novel insights by contextualizing and linking data from disconnected sources such as patient density, prescription and referral patterns, readmissions, population health and more for an evidence-based approach to a product lifecycle management from strategy to clinical development to market adoption. “Life Science companies need to make better use of the insights that real world data can provide in order to improve market access, sales and marketing growth strategies,” said William King, founder and CEO, Zephyr Health.

Delcam will demonstrate the latest version of its Delcam Electrode integrated solution for the design, machining and inspection of electrodes on the booth of its parent company, Autodesk, at the Amerimold exhibition to be held in Rosemont, Illinois, on 17th and 18th June. The main development in the new release is that the system can now produce multi-part electrodes or family electrodes, as well as more conventional designs. In addition, electrodes can now be displayed in the history tree of the tool on which they will be used, so simplifying the management of projects. Also, all electrode drawings will update automatically if the design is changed. For full details on Delcam Electrode, please visit www.delcam-electrode.com Multi-part electrodes can reduce the time needed for both machining and EDM compared to using several individual electrodes. In addition, machining multiple electrodes from a single blank can save materials while costs can also be reduced by using
