Tasktop, a leader in Software Lifecycle Integration (SLI) and creator of the Eclipse Mylyn open source tool, today announced that it will offer free integration support between the recently announced Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Octane solution from Hewlett Packard and its existing HPE ALM/Quality Center. HPE ALM Octane is specifically designed for high-velocity, Lean and Agile teams, and represents HPE’s next generation of application lifecycle management products. As a long-standing partner, Tasktop has been working with HPE ALM Octane since its private beta. According to Tasktop CEO Mik Kersten, “Tasktop has created a new free offering to enable a seamless upgrade path to HPE ALM Octane by synchronizing customer defects between their current HPE ALM/QC installations and HPE ALM Octane. This means that customers can allow some teams to continue to use HPE ALM/QC, while others move to HPE ALM Octane at the pace that’s right for the organization. Our goal is to support

On Center Software launched a totally new website this week to help construction contractors see and test the industry’s top digital tools in the field today. The site, www.OnCenter.com, has streamlined its pages with a cleaner, simpler format, enhanced graphics, and a more responsive interface with faster loading times. “We engineered the design changes so navigating is much faster. You can find estimating tools, takeoff and project management platforms much easier. Finding white papers, tricks and tips, training and support is just a click away. Trade experts from concrete, painting, drywall and ceiling, framing, landscape design, and more, have content and customized products for them. In fact, many functional enhancements to our software came from our customers,” explained Kyle Hamer, Vice President of Marketing. In addition to the website enhancement, On Center was recognized by Constructech Magazine as a global leader in technology in its July/August edition. “We are proud to be named

3D Systems announced today that its end-to-end digital design and manufacturing solutions led to the enhanced mobility of a disabled African penguin at Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, CT. In a collaborative endeavor led by the aquarium’s veterinary staff, students at Mystic Middle School worked with technical experts from ACT Group, a Connecticut-based 3D Systems partner, to make a lightweight, custom-fit boot for Yellow/Purple (AKA “Purps”), a resident of Mystic Aquarium’s endangered African penguin colony. Using 3D Systems’ 3D scanning, design and printing solutions, the group improved upon previous efforts by providing Purps with a more efficient and effective boot. Purps was left with a nonfunctional flexor tendon in her ankle following an altercation with another penguin. In an initial effort to immobilize, support and protect the site of injury, veterinarians at Mystic Aquarium fashioned a boot for Purps from moldable plastic material. While adequate, the animal care team at Mystic Aquarium knew there were more

For all the talk about the democratization of simulation, here’s how much of the work still gets done today: A highly trained expert, often with an advanced degree, toils away on a local desktop, gathering data, building models, running simulations and then circulating a report that sums up his/her findings to colleagues throughout the design process. The increasing complexity of products — more reliance on cyber/physical systems and especially software — calls for more pervasive use of simulation, performed regularly throughout the design cycle, not just at the back-end for validation. In the new model-based design approach, simulation data and results need to be widely and continuously shared with the rest of the engineering organization, even if the skilled analyst remains the epicenter of simulation work. The requirement is prompting renewed interest in simulation data management (SDM), not just as a separate enterprise hub for managing simulation data and processes,

Innovyze today announced the worldwide release of WG Result Manager. This powerful Web application allows users of Innovyze Workgroup Management (WG) products to instantly access and view any modeling results right from their browsers and address important business issues like how to better manage, share, analyze and reuse simulation results. Focused primarily on improving the day-to-day activities of modeling professionals, it greatly enhances collaboration and enables more effective communication to keep projects moving forward, mitigate risk, and empower participants to take the best actions with greater speed and accuracy to complete projects successfully. WG Result Manager's intuitive Web-enabled interface provides unified and direct access to any WG model simulation results in the office or at project sites. From any modern browser, users can automatically extract and share up-to-date results from supported WG simulation projects and navigate through multiple views. They can then create simulation detail and comparison reports for project status and result

Global design and BIM software developer Vectorworks, Inc. announces their partnership with Modelo, creators of the software plug-in of the same name, which is the fastest real-time, web-based 3D model communication tool in the AEC industry. Modelo allows for architects and designers to upload their 3D Vectorworks files (VWX) directly into the browser-based 3D presentation and collaboration tool. Once files are uploaded to the plug-in, professionals can present and share their 3D files with clients, colleagues and consultants. Viewers can leave feedback and markups, without needing to install Vectorworks software, which are then archived for future reference. The academic community can also take advantage of the free version or trial to achieve the same collaborative and communicative opportunities. “In today’s highly competitive market, the ability to quickly and effectively communicate about a design in 3D with clients and collaborators is of the upmost importance,” said Jeremy Powell, product marketing director at Vectorworks. “Our
