Rand Worldwide announced that its IMAGINiT Technologies division today released its new Scan to BIM 2014.1 software. New features such as Section Box Tool, Create from CAD Tool and Quality Assurance Tool enhance the point cloud functionality within Autodesk® Revit®. Scan to BIM 2014.1 is available via a new short-term rental option that makes it accessible to any mechanical engineer, architect, scanning provider and plant designer whose projects could benefit from working with point clouds directly in Revit. “Our customers enjoy the business benefits of Scan to BIM, but several firms mentioned that they only needed Scan to BIM for certain projects,” says Tim Johnson, senior vice president, IMAGINiT Technologies. “Based on this feedback, we developed a new rental option that allows organizations to experience the full power of Scan to BIM without incurring the cost of a traditional perpetual license. Coupled with new features that enhance modeling productivity, we think this update will be the most

SPRING Technologies, vendor of solutions to enhance the productivity of CNC machines, invites you to visit its booth at JEC COMPOSITES 2014 from March 11 to 13 at the Parc des Expositions, Porte de Versailles, Paris. With its new offering, “NCSIMUL Machine Composites”, SPRING is extending its simulation offer to encompass composite lay-up. Composites are a new growth opportunity for manufacturers, while at the same time addressing environmental issues and optimizing material costs. Yet, getting completely on top of these materials remains a challenge. This is why SPRING Technologies is delivering new, dedicated software solutions for professionals, backed up by project engineering support from its historic partner HACOMA. Repurposing experience of ISO programming into composites With NCSIMUL Machine 9.1, the latest version of its flagship machining simulation software, SPRING Technologies is bringing its expertise in CNC program simulation (supporting ISO and other codes) to the process of manufacturing parts in composite materials. The new

solidThinking, Inc. announced today that its solidThinking Inspire software has been named a finalist in the Design Tools category of the Design News 2013 Golden Mousetrap Awards. Design News is a publication and community of design engineers. The finalists for this year's Golden Mousetrap award were selected by Design News' Advisory Board and Content Team. Of the many submissions, 55 finalists spanning 15 different categories were selected. "We are honored that Design News has recognized solidThinking Inspire as a finalist for the best design tool Golden Mousetrap Award," said Jim Hassberger, President of solidThinking. "We are committed to radically improving the product design process through the introduction of ground-breaking tools such as Inspire." solidThinking Inspire accelerates the product design process by generating the ideal shape for a structure, given its package space and the loading it must support. The software is easy to learn and works with existing CAD tools, helping design parts

Dassault Systèmes and Accelrys, Inc., today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement for Dassault Systèmes to acquire San Diego-based Accelrys, Inc. (Accelrys). Under the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, Dassault Systèmes will make an all cash tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Accelrys common stock at a price of $12.50 per share, without interest, representing a fully diluted equity value for Accelrys of approximately $750 million. Dassault Systèmes intends to acquire any shares of Accelrys not tendered into the tender offer, via a merger that will be effected as soon as possible after the closing of the tender offer. Combining with Accelrys will enrich the molecular chemistry capabilities from discovery to manufacturing and regulatory requirements of Dassault Systèmes’ formulation-based industry offerings such as life sciences, consumer packaged goods, high tech and energy, as well as advanced manufacturing industries. “With Max Carnecchia and his teams, we

ESI Group announces the latest release of Virtual Performance Solution. Delivering faster results in crash simulation, the new version also offers new approaches for modeling product assembly, for assessing Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH), and for predicting airbag opening behavior more accurately. Virtual Performance Solution brings industrial clients a decisive competitive advantage, especially when facing the numerous challenges brought by lightweight engineering and the consequent need for numerous design iterations, trade-offs between performance domains, and less conservative safety margins. Virtual Performance Solution provides automotive manufacturers with a viable solution to improve passenger safety without slowing down new car developments. As exemplified by the Vehicle Safety Simulation department at Audi, real prototypes can be drastically reduced or eliminated completely. Using a common core model for their simulations, engineering teams from various departments and from different geographical sites can collaborate efficiently towards the creation of virtual prototypes that can be used to predict the future behavior of parts or products in all domains

Altium Limited along with Nimbic announce a new development partnership. This will make Nimbic the newest developer partner to join Altium’s newly formed Altium Developer program. The agreement consists of a strategic alliance between the two companies and the introduction of a new power integrity solution - Altium PI-DC.  Altium PI-DC gives users the ability to validate DC voltage and current performance in their designs before prototype and production. Now, designers can avoid issues with power delivery and are better able to identify potential failure points. This includes high via currents that could cause fusing, or high resistance neck-down regions resulting in excessive voltage drop. Built from the ground-up, Altium PI-DC is based on Nimbic’s specialized 3D full-wave electromagnetic solver, and is designed to address the requirements of large-scale power integrity problems. Unlike other solutions in the market, the Altium PI-DC delivers fast solution times without compromising on accuracy. “Nimbic views this relationship with
