SPRING Technologies has a 30-year track record as a vendor of solutions that enable manufacturers to optimize ROI on their NC machines, maximizing productivity and reducing costs. Now, SPRING Technologies announces the latest version of NCSIMUL Machine 9.1, its flagship machining simulation software. THE MAIN NEW FEATURES OF NCSIMUL MACHINE 9.1 Highlights Simulation of composite material laying Complete integration of the NCdoc document publication module Automated functions to enhance user experience Simulation of COMPOSITE MATERIAL LAYING The result of several years’ collaboration with major aerospace customers, NCSIMUL Machine 9.1 today makes it possible to replicate material laying processes executed by Numerical Control machines. Just as it does in conventional machining, NCSIMUL Machine 9.1 decodes all types of NC programs, representing the complete machine environment in 3D to identify and analyze programming errors and collisions. The “Composite” option of this version also enables a dynamic representation of fiber ribbon laying, taking into consideration the 3D form of the carbon

Infolytica Corporation announces today that MagNet for SolidWorks, an entirely new software package developed by the company, will be officially launched in 2014. SolidWorks® users who need to design and analyze electromagnetic or electromechanical devices can use this new tool directly in their preferred CAD environment. MagNet for SolidWorks is an entirely new product from Infolytica Corporation which embeds an electromagnetic field simulator as an add-in to Solidworks 2013 or later. It uses the same 3D EM finite element technology that is in the company’s MagNet 2D/3D simulation software. The advantage is a device can be simulated and analyzed with Infolytica’s electromagnetic solver technology directly in Solidworks’ native solid modeling system without any geometric translation or model import. Using just one environment for modeling and design is both convenient and more efficient for the user. More details about the first version of MagNet for SolidWorks will be available in the first quarter of

Terrafugia was founded in 2006 by award winning MIT-trained aeronautical engineers and MBA's – who also happen to be passionate private pilots. Taking advantage of new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations in the Light Sport Aircraft category, Terrafugia developed the Transition® Roadable Aircraft to provide private and sports pilots the convenience of a dual-purpose vehicle for flight and road use. The Transition addresses head-on the issues private and sport pilots face: cost, weather sensitivity, high overall door-to-door travel time and a lack of mobility at destination. It is a two-place Light Sport Airplane that takes off and lands at any of the over 5,000 public-use airport around the country, folds its wings in about a minute, drives on any surface road – including highways – and can park in a single car garage. Challenge/Situation: Maintaining Complete Production Documentation for FAA Requirements The Transition Roadable Aircraft will be compliant with the FAA’s Light Sport Aircraft

2013 was a year of significant change for Knovel. Highlights include the acquisition by Elsevier announced last January, the launch of a new Knovel platform and significant content growth. Historically focused on being the first place engineers turn for trusted answers, Knovel continues to execute on this vision to meet the needs of today’s engineer. With a focus on the user experience, Knovel’s new platform, launched in September, features advanced search and simplified navigation that ensure engineers can more easily discover the content they need and readily use it in their workflow. The overall experience is seamless, enabling engineers to use Knovel in conjunction with other engineering applications, customer knowledge bases and enterprise software tools. Interactivity is a core part of Knovel’s offering, and in 2013, Knovel substantially improved the user interface and functionality of its Equation Plotter, Graph Digitizer, Graph Plotter, Phase Diagram Viewer and Parameterized Graph tools. “The new Knovel platform

The movie “Iron Man 3” just showed up on pay cable this week, and I had to watch it again. (Better than 2, worse than 1, in my opinion.) For those who did not see it, or could care less, the lead character, who has a sky high Q rating, meets a kid and refers to himself as “The Mechanic.” In some ways this is true, because throughout all three films, Tony Stark (played wonderfully by Robert Downey Jr.) is always making and fixing things. He anthropomorphizes his industrial robots, talking to them (and they seem to understand), and even putting a Dunce cap on one in this latest installment. And they help him do his bidding in his formidable workshop. OK, all fine and dandy, you might be saying, but what does this have to do with PLM? Over the last 12-18 months, CIMdata has had calls with a number
