A company developing new spinal instruments to reduce the risks of scoliotic surgery and a university's examination of how a leatherback turtle would weather climate change were among the five winning entries in the annual ANSYS Hall of Fame image competition. The contest, which highlights some of the most complex engineering challenges, gives ANSYS users the opportunity to showcase their simulation work by producing eye-grabbing images and animation. For the second year in a row, 2014 submissions were divided into two categories – corporate and academic – and allowed ANSYS to select multiple "best-in-class" winners from each category. The corporate winners are: Andritz Hydro, a global supplier of electro-mechanical systems and services for hydropower plants. Andritz used ANSYS solutions to develop a lighter-weight valve that replaces welds with bolts with controlled tightening, reducing design time and production costs – while increasing valve sales.

PLM and ERP: Can't We Be Friends?

Recently, Joe Cocker passed away. If you don’t know, he was an iconic front-man for several rock groups in the 70's, and he sang with a unique style. He was best known for singing many covers of other people’s songs including the Beatles. Probably one of his best known covers was of the Beatle's song "With a Little Help from My Friends". I am thinking about PLM and ERP today, and wondering why they can't be better friends. PLM and ERP are both part of most major manufacturing companies. But, their relationship can often be rocky. Both are needed to create innovative, high quality products that delight customers. But, how they are deployed across the company is often a hotly contested topic. I wrote a blog in 2013 titled: PLM and ERP: Can't We All Just Get Along? In this blog I talked about the often rancorous relationship that PLM and ERP
