It trumps both the traditional departmental PLM approach and the development platform approach. QuadRite’s 3rd generation PLM solutions expand the traditional scope of PLM Systems to enable all departments in a company to participate in relevant product-related processes. Compared to traditional PLM solutions that focus only on supporting the activities of the engineering group through bill of materials (BOM) and

The new EPLAN Design Space Exchange (DSE) will be unveiled at SPS IPC Drives. DSE supports data exchange between mechanical construction and control system technology in control cabinet and switchgear construction. The expansion module for EPLAN Pro Panel Professional, developed by EPLAN and MCAD specialists at affiliate Cideon, is available for the first time with EPLAN Platform 2.4 and compatible with Autodesk Inventor 2014 and 2015. “Without the cabinet case, there is no mounting layout, and without the mounting layout, there is no final case design. This dilemma can now be resolved with the Design Space Exchange expansion module,” explains Thomas Weichsel, product manager at EPLAN. DSE is based on a fully parametric 3D geometric data model of the mechanical design that takes into account the particular requirements for the installation location of the mounting panel or cabinet. DSE accesses the 3D CAD data of the control cabinet case design

MSC Software Corporation announced the new release of MSC Nastran 2014 and Patran 2014. MSC Nastran 2014 delivers significant enhancements to its groundbreaking solver embedded fatigue functionality as well as performance improvements and ease of use. Patran 2014 supports the new fatigue analysis capabilities and delivers improvements to nonlinear analysis support. Linear Analysis The highly popular external superelement (SE) capability of MSC Nastran has been enhanced providing users with the ability to rotate, move or mirror a primary external SE. This capability is designed to reduce the modeling effort for full vehicle analysis with duplicate assemblies like aircraft engines attached to wings, or landing gears attached to the fuselage. New capability was added to activate and deactivate rigid elements in subcases and improve flexibility in defining combinations of load cases often used for safety related industries and airline certification. Nastran Embedded Fatigue Several enhancements have been implemented in this release to improve the efficiency and

CNC Software announces the release of Mastercam X8. Mastercam X8 brings a new suite of programming tools focused on delivering speed, automation, and efficiency for all machining jobs. Mastercam X8 introduces new Solids features, UI improvements, Usability/Workflow improvements, and so much more. Dynamic Motion Technology Mastercam's Dynamic Motion technology is a new and exciting approach to creating toolpaths. Dynamic Motion follows a proprietary and sophisticated set of rules that take into consideration a broad data set. To create the most efficient cutting motion possible, Dynamic toolpaths calculate not only the area where metal will be removed; they also take into account the changing condition of the material throughout various stages of machining. Solids Improvements The Solids interface and workflow has been completely redone for Mastercam X8 and makes constructing and editing solids easier and more intuitive than it’s ever been. Every existing Solids function has been updated to reflect this new workflow. Along with

Autodesk, Inc. cloud-based tools like A360 and Fusion 360 empower designers and engineers to work in whole new ways and are reinventing the modern design and collaboration experience. At Autodesk University, the company announced that A360 Team will be available globally later this month. Yesterday’s means of collaboration are failing designers and engineers who require an entirely different scale of working together and sharing information. Enormous 3D model file sizes, data with a very high level of fidelity and precision and 3D visualization are just a few of Autodesk customers’ requirements. Reliance on email and traditional project management tools results in clunky workarounds and lost productivity. Understanding the unique needs of designers and engineers, Autodesk pioneered A360—the first cloud collaboration tool geared for design and engineering projects. A360 Team is a modern tool for working together that breaks down silos, brings teams together across time and space, and enables data management to recede into the background

AMC Bridge has released the iProperties Import Tool 2.1 plug-in for Autodesk Inventor 2014. The new version supports SolidWorks 2015. iProperties Import Tool is a real timesaver when it comes to converting SolidWorks CAD files to Inventor. Custom and configuration-specific document properties in SolidWorks models carry critical design data. That’s why it’s important for users migrating from SolidWorks to Autodesk Inventor to preserve these properties when converting models from one system to another, in addition to recreating the geometry. Currently, there is no automated way to transfer document properties from SolidWorks models to Autodesk Inventor models. iProperties Import Tool is a real timesaver when it comes to converting SolidWorks CAD files to Inventor. The tool provides configurable translation rules to map SolidWorks properties to corresponding Inventor iProperties. It also offers the option of importing SolidWorks geometry into a current Inventor file. The result is a simple one-click conversion process. The tool does not require an
