ANSYS announced today that Flowserve signed an enterprise license agreement providing broad access to the ANSYS portfolio and technology specialists. By combining the power of ANSYS simulation technology with the Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, Flowserve is one of the first companies to harness the power of digital twins – complete system virtual physical prototypes – to better serve its customers through improved product quality and performance, enhanced development productivity, optimized maintenance and reduced overall costs and risks associated with unplanned downtime. By tapping into ANSYS' industry-leading portfolio of engineering simulation software, Flowserve can now use the digital twin to analyze real-time operational data to provide better insight and faster decision making while maximizing machine efficiency. Flowserve will also be able to analyze the performance of products in real-world operating conditions, make informed predictions about future performance and reduce the cost and risk of unplanned downtime. Flowserve is pushing the

The Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI) has launched an advanced automotive technology centre called MAI Intelligent Technology Systems (MITS). According to a statement, this centre is the first-of-its kind in Malaysia and is aimed at boosting product design capabilities and innovation within the domestic automotive components and parts supply chain.   MITS is set up to fill the technological gap within the domestic automotive sector, through a one-stop facility that integrates advanced software, hardware as well as technical consulting support for automotive parts design and development and system engineering works. The system’s main hub is housed in MAI’s headquarters in Cyberjaya.   Altair Engineering Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of US-based simulation technology and engineering services company Altair Inc, will collaborate with MAI as the simulation technology partner for MITS.   Speaking during the launch of MITS on Aug 17, MAI chief executive officer Madani Sahari said, “In line with strategies

 PDF Key takeaways: The past several years have seen growing adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, but construction productivity growth has continued to lag manufacturing A convergence is beginning to take place between AEC and manufacturing—AEC customers are increasingly interested in adopting processes and technologies from the manufacturing industry to find ways to realize the productivity potential of their technology investments The need for process improvement is driving interest in new fabrication and assembly techniques, virtual design and construction (VDC), and other innovations, as well as new technology platforms such as product lifecycle management (PLM) related cloud services Introduction The overriding trend and enabler for change in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction market has been the adoption of Building Information Modeling processes and associated enabling technologies. Although estimates vary across studies, the rate of BIM adoption exceeds 50% in most developed markets.[1] One primary economic driver for BIM
