Maplesoft™ today announced the release of the MapleSim™ Battery Library, an add-on component library to their advanced system-level modeling tool. The MapleSim Battery Library allows engineers to incorporate physics-based predictive models of battery cells into their multidomain models so they can take battery behavior into account early in the design process. MapleSim offers a modern approach to physical modeling and simulation, dramatically reducing model development and analysis time while producing fast, high-fidelity simulations. With the MapleSim Battery Library, engineers can include battery behavior in their system-level models, allowing them to understand how the battery will behave as part of the greater system. With this information, engineers can optimize battery and system performance, and reduce the risk of undesirable effects such as battery overheating. The MapleSim Battery Library supports both equivalent circuit and electrochemical battery models, and includes parameter identification tools for determining model parameters from experimental data. It can be used in any modeling

Intergraph® has released CADWorx® 2015, the next-generation AutoCAD®-based software solution for plant design and automation that has enhancements to CADWorx Design Review that allow the generation of .ifv files for viewing and sharing CADWorx design models on the Apple iPad using the free Intergraph FreeView® app. Intergraph CADWorx, an intelligent 2D and 3D plant design system, provides ease of use, flexibility, scalability and interconnectivity. The software offers piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) synchronization with the model plus intelligent modeling and automatic production of design deliverables such as isometric drawings and bills of material, enhancing organizational productivity throughout the engineering and design process. Other CADWorx 2015 features include capabilities for routing of mitered elbows, skewed pipe design and male and female needle valves; custom field default values for models; new tables in the specification editor; and a new, more user-friendly ISOGEN® interface.

In addition, a new Web Platform Development Kit enables companies to build their own

Autodesk, Inc. announced that Autodesk® PLM 360 is enjoying strong uptake among companies creating the network-connected devices that are powering the Internet of Things (IoT). By using PLM 360, these customers are able to more efficiently design and manufacture a wide range of innovative devices that blur the line between hardware and software—everything from motorcycle helmets with integrated navigation systems, to a device that empowers drivers with knowledge about themselves and their cars so they can be safer and drive smarter. “Companies in this fast-developing area are defining and creating the IoT,” said Brian Roepke, director of Product Lifecycle Management products at Autodesk. “At the pace they move, these companies rely heavily on cloud-based technology because they’re the only services that allow them to innovate quickly.” Unlike traditional PLM systems, PLM 360 is designed to be simple, affordable, and accessible. There is no hardware to install or lengthy deployment to manage: customers sign up for a subscription and configure

SoftInWay Inc. is pleased to announce its new client – Weir Power & Industrial. Weir Power & Industrial, a division of The Weir Group, is headquartered in Scotland with locations on five continents. The company provides a wide range of engineering solutions and support services for the global power generation, oil & gas, and industrial sectors. Among the many offerings of Weir Power & Industrial are the design and manufacture of hydro turbines and industrial steam turbines. Weir Power & Industrial has placed an order to use SoftInWay’s flagship software, AxSTREAM, in order to perform the design, optimization and analysis of their axial steam turbines. SoftInWay experts will be fully training Weir engineers to use AxSTREAM so as to incorporate it into the design, analysis, and manufacturing process already in use at the company. AxSTREAM offers many capabilities relating to axial turbines, including: Design, redesign, analysis, and optimization in a fully-integrated standardized interface Preliminary

SPRING Technologies is pleased to announce that the engineering company Musashi, in Japan, has chosen to use NCSIMUL Machine software in its 5-axis operations. Before choosing NCSIMUL Machine, Musashi applied another NC simulation software package for the 5-axis machining process used to make turbine impellers. The operation took over 16 hours and the user interface froze frequently when rotating or zooming in on the 3D model during simulation. Musashi consequently set out to find a solution that would offer faster simulation, with smooth 3D model handling and easy settings. “We wanted to run the simulations on our 5-axis impeller machining process faster. We were looking for an easy-to-use application and automated simulation software,” said Mr. Baba, manager of the Development Department. At the time, Mr. Yagihashi, the president of Musashi, visited the Saeilo Japan booth at the JIMTOF 2012 tradeshow, where he first heard about NCSIMUL Machine. “Our president visited many other booths

Flow Science, Inc. has announced a new consultancy agreement with Minerva Dynamics to provide computational fluid dynamics (CFD) services in the maritime, hydraulic engineering and manufacturing sectors. Minerva Dynamics offers a UK-based resource to service the increasing need to simulate challenging free-surface flow problems, without the expense or technical constraints associated with scaled experimental testing. Minerva specializes in the simulation of hydrodynamic design problems and has selected the industry-leading free-surface flow software, FLOW-3D, to assist them. “Our services are targeted towards engineers and scientists who require a deeper understanding of their problem and quantifiable forces, coefficients, and flow rates,” said Peter Arnold, Principal of Minerva Dynamics.

allsafe JUNGFALK, a specialist for load restraint systems, places its trust in CIM DATABASE PLM. The mid-sized company uses CONTACT`s CAD data and document management solution, including ERP synchronization, and is planning further system enhancements relating to paperless production, classification and project management. allsafe JUNGFALK's objective is to establish a more consistent product creation process and simplify collaboration between development and production. In the long term, it is intended that all technical data, documents and workflows relating to the product portfolio be made available in CIM DATABASE PLM in a way that is audit-trail capable throughout the company. To do this, the company recently first put the CAD data and document management solution with an MS Office link, project-specific storage, extraction of BOMs and neutral formats, followed by integration with the ERP system abas, into operation. As the next step, allsafe JUNGFALK will implement the concept of paperless production. This will involve
