The initiative addresses efficiency challenges in the automotive and manufacturing sector. The project harnesses university resources and industry expertise to help create manufacturing-ready modelling methods for improving CAD/CAM process efficiency. One of 18 finalists selected from 35 projects submitted to receive German “Automotive & Manufacturing“ initiative funding, the two-year joint project includes the University of Duisburg-Essen, CAD Schroer, RWTH University Aachen, and the companies Berghoff and info-key. Considering Manufacturing Costs during the Design Process The project’s objective is to develop a CAD solution which delivers a reliable estimate of design-dependent manufacturing timescales and costs. Due to rising energy prices, energy consumption will also be included in the calculation. Including these estimates at the beginning of the design process allows engineers to optimise product designs in order to minimise manufacturing timescales, costs and energy consumption. “By tackling these issues with a multi-disciplinary project team, we hope to be able to make a serious contribution to

The SolidWorks 2014 software release introduces an internal connection to a brand new SolidWorks Materials Web Portal, which makes traceable, purpose-specific material properties data available to the large user community of SolidWorks Simulation Professional and SolidWorks Simulation Premium. The new SolidWorks Materials Web Portal connects the SolidWorks Simulation user to the Matereality Global Data Center, a constantly expanding cloud of 100% traceable, simulation-relevant material data. Data Certificates are published with each dataset. Linear and non-linear material models are supported. Matereality's CAE Modeler software is used to convert raw material data on the cloud into the inputs for the SolidWorks material models. Users have the ability to add or delete data points and fine-tune the fitted model to optimize their simulation results. Created material models can be downloaded seamlessly to the user’s SolidWorks Simulation software. "Matereality has had a proven relationship with SolidWorks where it has helped to validate and maintain SolidWorks' internal material databases for

Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc. is pleased to announce the publication of a new training guide, Residential Garden Design with Vectorworks Landmark, Sixth Edition. In this book, author Tamsin Slatter, a leading Vectorworks Landmark expert in the U.K., covers the workflow for residential garden designers using Vectorworks® Landmark with Renderworks® software. The tutorial, with an accompanying DVD, includes the typical work stages of the residential landscape designer. Readers will begin by setting up a work environment and then move through the various stages of the design process in order to create a garden plan that can be presented in both 2D and 3D. The book is designed to build a foundation of essential knowledge to help users understand the way Vectorworks software is intended to work within a design discipline. “With the release of Vectorworks Landmark 2014, Nemetschek Vectorworks has once again improved the design process for landscape designers,” said Slatter. “The new and improved 3D

 PDF Key takeaways Aras Innovator is redefining customization in the PLM market; the days of worrying about the potential impact on upgradeability are disappearing  Aras Innovator’s ability to deploy quickly with real-time customization of predefined best practice solutions is a key market differentiator; it is engineered to be highly customized Aras Innovator’s architecture has been designed to protect investment and ensure future adaptability; it is engineered to be sustainable Introduction For several years, the Aras Corporation (Aras) has included no-cost version-to-version upgrades in their enterprise subscriptions, independent of how the solution has been customized and implemented. This is a rather bold guarantee given the historic challenges the industry has experienced with upgrading highly customized PLM deployments. With more than 300 upgrades behind it, CIMdata felt it appropriate to find out how Aras’ guarantee was playing out, and discovered that there was much more to the story than just a contractual guarantee. Fundamentally, Aras Innovator is engineered
