Digital Systems Engineering, Inc. (DSE), a U.S. design-build manufacturer of ruggedized displays and mobile computers, is introducing the high-performance Programmable Tactical Awareness Controller (PTAC2) series for remote operation of military and avionic imaging systems. The PTAC2 series offers a highly configurable tactile button interface via ASCII or HEX code protocol that enables on-display control of external equipment (i.e. sensors, computers, turrets, masts) and/or internal display controls (i.e. toggling between video feeds and view modes, video scaling, adjusting brightness).The PTAC2 monitor offers 20 user-designated bezel buttons and an optional touchscreen to maximize remote system operation. Multiple video inputs, DVI-I/VGA inputs and advanced view modes (picture-in-picture, picture-over-picture, video scaling) provide high level viewing functionality. Offering a flexible size range (8.4” – 15.0” TFT AM LCDs), high contrast LED backlit screens and DSE’s proprietary NVIS technology, the PTAC2 provides optimum viewing under any ambient light condition. Rugged Display Features designed to meet key military standards, the PTAC2

C3D Labs, a subsidiary of the ASCON Group and a resident of the Skolkovo IT Cluster, announces that beta testing of its module for visualizing 3D geometry has successfully concluded. As a result, today marks the official launch of C3D Vision 2016, the newest module of the C3D Toolkit designed for developers of engineering software. C3D Vision is distinctive in the way in which it is set apart from most other visualizers on the market, that tend to be designed for the animation and video gaming industries. By contrast, the development of C3D Vision was influenced by the requirements of the computer-aided design industry. This, the newest software component from C3D Labs, works with polygonal 3D models. Scenes are split into segments and then represented by rendered graphics. Each segment can have its own set of characteristics: absolute and relative matrices, referential representation of data, and an array of geometry representations. Segmentation

Five Vero Software brands are to be represented at the forthcoming AMB exhibition in Stuttgart between September 13 and 17. Vero, which is part of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, and was recently confirmed by CIMdata as being the world’s number-one CAM-focused company, has its own 56 square metre booth at the show, demonstrating Edgecam, WorkNC and PartXplore. Two Vero resellers will also be highlighting further brands. Mecadat are featuring VISI, with 3D Concepts showing Surfcam. In addition, 3D Concepts have expanded their product range and closed an agreement with GmbH to be an official Edgecam reseller. Vero’s German Marketing Manager, Michel Reuter, says it is the first time the company has exhibited at AMB as Vero Software GmbH. “Previously, resellers attended under their own names or with the brand name itself, but the Group name of Vero is relatively new to the German speaking markets (Germany, Austria and Switzerland). This

Stratasys Ltd. today announced it is previewing demonstrations of next generation manufacturing technologies at IMTS 2016 as part of its SHAPING WHAT'S NEXT™ vision for manufacturing. SHAPING WHAT'S NEXT builds on Stratasys' industrial FDM® 3D printing expertise to respond to the needs of customers' most challenging applications, addressing manufacturers' needs to rapidly produce strong parts ranging in size from an automobile armrest to an entire aircraft interior panel. The Stratasys ecosystem of additive and traditional technologies, software workflows, materials development, and professional services align with individual application needs, better meeting quality, cost, and delivery metrics while unlocking the capabilities of additive manufacturing to revolutionize how parts are designed and built. The Stratasys Infinite-Build 3D Demonstrator for producing large tools and production parts is designed for accuracy, repeatability, and speed for custom OEM production and on-demand aftermarket disruption.

NI announced today the NI Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (NI ELVIS) RIO Control Module, the newest addition to the powerful NI ELVIS product family. The NI ELVIS RIO Control Module adds an industry-leading, real-time embedded processor and FPGA architecture to instrumentation powering NI’s most complete hands-on learning solution for power systems, machine control, hardware in the loop and mechatronics design.  With the NI ELVIS RIO Control Module, the NI ELVIS II/II+ ecosystem now integrates FPGA technology with a comprehensive set of measurement instruments in a singular, compact form factor developed specifically for the lab or classroom. This new functionality joins an expanding ecosystem of add-on accessories and courseware from partners such as Quanser to deliver a complete teaching solution for the lab.  “I can have students design and run lab experiments on the NI ELVIS RIO Control Module and have them troubleshoot sensors and actuators at the circuit level to

ASCON Group is pleased to announce a fresh release of Renga Architecture 2.4, its architectural design system. The new release implements important requests from users, among them separate views of individual objects (such as columns, beams, windows, and doors), an update to the display style dialog box, and a way to locate offset columns and beams. This update provides architects and designers with greater options in showing models in drawings the way they want, making Renga Architecture more flexible. Display Individual Objects To get views of columns, beams, windows, doors and other objects, Renga Architecture 2.4 now lets you mark objects and then choose them from the object list to place them in draft view. Architects had asked for this function, because their clients were requesting layouts of, for instance, all windows with their different sizes, which could then be sent on to production. While it was

Mass Innovation Nights and Autodesk will host the 90th Mass Innovation Nights (#MIN90). The event will be held on Wednesday, September 14, 2016 from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm at Autodesk's new BUILD Space in Boston's Seaport District. Mass Innovation Nights are free product showcase and networking events held monthly in the greater Boston area.  Autodesk's Building Innovation Learning and Design (BUILD) Space is focused on new technologies that are changing the building industry. The BUILD Space brings together students, entrepreneurs, and researchers to explore new ways to make design and construction more efficient. The BUILD Space's three floors include high-tech tools like laser cutters and a water jet, programmable milling machines, 3-D printers and robots. "By partnering with leading local companies like Autodesk and hosting events in their locations, our events are a great way to explore the resources and hidden treasures of our Boston region's business community," said Innovation

The Altair Partner Alliance (APA) added systems engineering software from XLDyn, LLC to its lineup of software partnerships. The software is made up of two modules, XLSE and XL1D, which work together to automate the creation of system models and perform one dimensional (1D) multi-physics simulations. "Our partnership with XLDyn is one we've been looking forward to," said Carlo Damiani, Vice President System Modeling at Altair. "One of the most exciting aspects is that it offers a great interface with solidThinking Activate, which will provide our joint users with not only top-notch system modeling capabilities, but also an easy to use environment for requirements and verification." XLSE is a model and math based systems engineering tool to automate the creation of system models whose requirements can be verified by tightly integrated simulation and tests.

SofTech today announced that it has agreed to sell its Product Lifecycle Management (“PLM”) technologies, including it ProductCenter and Connector product lines, to Essig Research Inc. (“Essig”) in exchange for $3.25 million plus contingent payments based on revenue in the two years immediately following the closing of the transaction. The closing of this asset sale, which is subject to the approval of SofTech’s shareholders and other customary closing conditions, is expected to occur by October 2016. The transaction is not subject to any financing condition. “In March 2011, the management team took a controlling equity stake in SofTech with a plan to implement operational improvements, develop new revenue streams, grow the revenue and reduce the debt while seeking opportunities to monetize the existing assets for the benefit of the shareholders,” said Joe Mullaney, SofTech’s CEO. “This transformative transaction will give the Company the liquidity we believe it needs to take
