Dassault Systèmes unveiled the world’s first 3D realistic simulation model of a whole human heart. Developed with a multidisciplinary team of heart experts to help combat cardiovascular disease, the “Living Heart Project” will launch the next frontier in diagnosing, treating and preventing heart conditions through personalized, 3D virtual models. According to recent research from the World Health Organization, 17.3 million people died from cardiovascular diseases globally in 2008, representing 30 percent of all global deaths. The American Heart Association report, Forecasting the Future of Cardiovascular Disease in the United States, believes the real total direct medical costs of cardiovascular disease will reach $818.1 billion over the next three decades. At the center of the project is a 3D heart model powered by Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform’s realistic simulation applications. Simulation experts from Dassault Systèmes have used the latest advancements in simulation provided by the SIMULIA applications to develop a comprehensive 3D heart model, capturing the

Presentation will show how a multi-disciplinary team was able to succeed in maturing the systems under their design control using a Model-Based Systems Engineering approach. ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 21 May 2014—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces that Matthew Loew, Technical Director at Maverick Innovation Lab, will make a presentation at CIMdata’s upcoming Systems Engineering workshop in Cincinnati on June 24th. Mr. Loew’s presentation, “The Critical Role of MBSE in Getting from Idea to "Show Me it Works" - Fast!,” will share how the use of a Model-Based and collaborative approach was key to realizing success on an aggressive systems engineering development project. The presentation will offer workshop attendees an overview of the approach taken to develop the hydraulics and control systems for an innovative automated drilling rig machine. Prior efforts had started without system-level models being developed, critical customer requirements were not captured well, and

 PDF Key takeaways: The word “social” is overloaded with meaning in today’s business world, with people immediately focusing on Facebook, Twitter, and other common platforms. Even though product development is almost always a social activity, its requirements are different from those enabled by these ubiquitous platforms Social platforms and technologies are supporting many PLM-related use cases, and creating new opportunities for collaboration Autodesk has introduced a number of offerings that combine business, social, and engineering capabilities Product Development Is Inherently Social We spend our lives awash in products. Cars, planes, machines of all types, electronics, toothpaste; the list is endless. Some are produced locally, and some are purchased from great distances. How do these products come into being? Unless you are buying products from an individual artisan, the products in our lives result from purposeful collaboration and communication among a multitude of interacting individuals and groups. In today’s complex global economy this means a company’s ideas could

Solid Concepts, the largest dedicated service provider of rapid prototyping in North America, is offering a unique design challenge to 3D printing experts and enthusiasts alike. The challenge requires participants to design a deck for a skateboard. Two lucky winners will receive their skateboard deck 3D printed for free. Challenge Parameters: Skateboard decks must be structurally sound, challenging to traditional deck designs and unique. Participants must be in the US, Canada or Europe. Skateboard decks must fit within certain design parameters: – Length cannot exceed 25.5” – Deck must be at least 0.475” thick Designs must be submitted to Solid Concepts no later than June 30th. The top five finalists will be uploaded to the Solid Concepts Facebook page, where they will be judged by a panel of their peers. The two designs with the highest amount of Facebook “Likes” will receive 3D printed versions of their skateboard decks, ready to ride. Solid Concepts will use their Selective Laser
