Siemens PLM Software announced today the latest release of STAR-CCM+® software, version 11.06. This latest version of the engineering software tool aligns with Siemens' Smart Innovation Portfolio that helps manufacturers optimize their Digital Enterprise and realize innovation. STAR-CCM+ v11.06 introduces the Electronics Cooling Toolset (E-Cool). E-Cool facilitates the creation and manipulation of electronics components for the thermal performance analysis of board and system level electronics devices. Parts such as fans, heatsinks, chips, and boards can be imported from industry-standard IDF files, or created in STAR-CCM+. "This new capability allows engineers to focus their time on making the right decisions for improving the thermal efficiency of their electronics systems," says Siemens PLM Software Senior VP of Product Management Jean-Claude Ercolanelli. "It utilizes an entirely new concept for quickly managing and exploring their entire product design space to match their industrial engineering objectives."

Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced the only fully-embedded computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solution for Solid Edge® software, a mainstream computer-aided design (CAD) solution developed by Siemens' product lifecycle management (PLM) software business. Solid Edge customers can now take advantage of Mentor Graphics® FloEFD™ frontloading CFD product to simulate fluid flow in their design process. The FloEFD solution is especially well suited for use during the design process as it reduces overall time to a solution by as much a 65%-75% compared to other CFD tools. Mentor Graphics' award-winning FloEFD CFD solution automates the most onerous CFD steps which include transferring model geometry to the CFD application, modeling internal cavities if needed and creating a "mesh." The FloEFD CFD technology takes the geometry directly from the CAD application, automatically performs the necessary translations and cavity modeling, and generates an optimized mesh before executing analysis. This approach provides accurate analysis results quickly

International TechneGroup Incorporated (ITI) will be exhibiting at the Advanced Engineering event in the NEC Birmingham, United Kingdom, 2-3 November. ITI CAD migration, conversion, and geometry processing experts will be available on stand N1 to discuss our interoperability solutions for CAD/CAM/CAE. “With the increased emphasis on efficiency and the drive for global collaboration, many companies are now turning to ITI to help address their interoperability issues,” comments Andy Chinn, ITI UK’s Commercial Director. “Customers are looking for solutions that not only enable faster and more reliable data exchange, but also enhance usability in downstream applications". There is much activity in the automotive industry around the use of JT for collaboration, and the implementation of the Model-based Enterprise (MBE) across the manufacturing supply chain. One automotive customer, Millbrook, recently implemented CADfix to provide dependable multi-CAD data exchange. In the aero industry customers are expanding their use of CADfix as well, with

Honeywell and Flowserve today announced they will collaborate to provide Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions to help industrial customers make their operations, safer, more efficient and more reliable. The collaboration will be part of the Honeywell INspireTM program, Honeywell's joint customer development program for its IIoT ecosystem. "The key to an effective IIoT ecosystem is to have three things," said Andrew Hird, vice president and general manager of Honeywell Process Solutions' Digital Transformation business. "First, you need to have secure access to the data being collected; secondly the capability to analyze that data; and finally, you need domain knowledge to understand how to deploy information to benefit the operation. Flowserve's domain expertise in flow control solutions that include pumps, valves, seals and services is unmatched globally, which makes the Honeywell-Flowserve IIoT ecosystem unique for our customers." Honeywell and Flowserve have a long history of collaboration. HPS' automation and controls technologies help

 PDF Key takeaways: Top AEC industry performers tend to employ more technologies, and their performance is strongly correlated with current technology usage and growth in IT investment The majority of respondents see potential to reduce costs by more than 10% for both pre-commissioning and post-commissioning phases of building lifecycles The greatest potential for process improvement is expected from reducing risks, a need for fewer changes, and better project estimating Introduction CIMdata recently conducted an online survey of professionals involved with the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. The survey was fielded in July 2016, with a second distribution to a more senior group in September 2016, and 84 completed responses were included in the subsequent analysis. 73% of survey respondents were executives, managers, architects, or engineers. 64% of respondents indicated that they work for companies based in the U.S. or Canada, while 67% of respondents indicated that they work for companies with more than 100 employees.

ZWSOFT announced today that ZWCAD Architecture 2017 is now available. ZWCAD Architecture 2017 is based on the latest version of its platform, ZWCAD 2017 SP1, so it includes all features that ZWCAD 2017 SP1 includes, including the 64 bit support.  It is an inevitable fact that sometimes architects are required to finish their drawings in very limited time, it is challenging if they want to produce high quality works. As a product tailored for the construction industry, ZWCAD Architecture 2017 can automatically create elevations and sections, which greatly helps to streamline process and saves a lot of time of architects.  Elevation Architects can get 3D objects by simply drawing a 2D model. Then from a completed plan, an elevation can be created with just a few clicks: by first drawing an elevation line and mark, and then an elevation can be created based on that line.  Section The interior details of a
