Centric Software announces that the French group Cofel, a market leader in mattress and bedding production, has announced a successful Centric PLM implementation. Centric is the leading PLM solution for fashion, retail, luxury and consumer goods companies. The Cofel Group, whose key brands are Bultex, Epéda and Mérinos, produces more than 1 million mattresses and 400,000 boxsprings each year at its five production sites in France. The Group’s mission is to offer the best bedding with a focus on quality, innovation and safety. In its 2015 strategic plan, Cofel identified the need to better equip its product development team. As Marion Deridder, marketing director explains, "We were looking for a PLM solution to better optimize our product range and ensure cost effectiveness. Our choice gravitated towards Centric because they are the global market leader in PLM solutions." Only six months after the project kicked off, marketing, sales, finance, operations and

MSC Software Corporation announced today that Dominic Gallello, President & CEO of MSC Software, is set to speak at the Autonomous Vehicle Test & Development Symposium in Stuttgart, Germany on May 31st - June 2nd. The topic of the presentation will be - "Ensuring High-fidelity Driving Simulation with Offline Vehicle Models." The presentation will take place on Wednesday, June 1st at 10:00hrs. Vehicle development for key attributes such as ride, handling, NVH and powertrain performance has been supported by high-fidelity, 3D physics-based simulations. These simulations incur a computational cost poorly suited for use in development of the real-time HIL and SIL simulations preferred by ADAS and autonomous vehicle engineers. This presentation explores the latest developments in exploiting the rich content of full-fidelity 3D offline simulation models so that real-time simulations capture more physics, perform more accurately, and add value to the vehicle development process by staying synchronized with offline models. The Autonomous

Siemens has announced its 2,000th veteran hiring since the company began participating in the Joining Forces initiative in 2011, and has committed to hire an additional 500 veterans over the next five years. Additionally, Siemens Product Lifecycle Management software business has committed to train 500 veterans in high-tech software platforms. Helmed by First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, Joining Forces works to support and honor America’s service members and their families. Siemens has proudly participated in the White House’s Joining Forces initiative since its inception. The company started out with a goal of hiring 300 veterans but has since exceeded its initial commitment by more than six times. “At Siemens, we know we have a responsibility to help our veterans live the American dream they helped defend,” said Eric Spiegel, president and CEO, Siemens Corp. “We are committed to supporting veterans as they return to the civilian workforce. We

Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced that its Valor® Production Plan software has been certified by SAP as powered by the SAP® NetWeaver® technology platform. The integration of the Valor Production Plan tool with SAP NetWeaver streamlines PCB assembly planning, including surface mount technology (SMT), manual assembly and test, helping to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce operational cost. The Valor Production Plan solution can add finite printed circuit board (PCB) production planning to the SAP® ERP application. The SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) has certified that Valor Production Plan integrates as a content package of SAP Process Integration technology (version 7.4) to exchange critical data with instances of SAP Business Suite software. As part of this certification, the Valor Production Plan software has demonstrated capabilities to exchange bill of material, work/purchase order and material availability check between SAP ERP 6.0 and Valor Production Plan. The SAP certification

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute spring 2016 exhibition, Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, officially opened last week on the 5th of May. It explores how designers are reconciling the handmade with the machine-made in fashion, and among the machine-made creations are numerous pieces resulting from collaborations between Materialise and Iris van Herpen with Julia Koerner and Daniel Widrig, as well as threeASFOUR with Bradley Rothenberg. According to Materialise’s Creative Director, Joris Debo, “The key to truly innovative 3D printed fashion is not the printing process itself, but the co-creative process that proceeds the print. With each fashion collaboration undertaken, we increasingly come to appreciate that it is through bringing together individual strengths – the fashion designer for creative concepts, an architect for creative implementation, and Materialise for 3D printing expertise and software – that concepts are formed into inspiring and unique pieces ready to go down the catwalk.

CCE, a leading provider in advanced interoperability technology and engineering services, has found that the BOM tool, in EnSuite-View, has sparked a huge interest, making it one of the most widely-used tools by avid users. The BOM tool, in EnSuite-View, can be used to view the bill of materials within assemblies and displays the following information: All unique parts, with number of occurrences in the assembly, and their metadata. Any unique part, as well as all the transformations of that part available within the assembly. Many different operations can be performed while using the BOM tool, including: A sub-assembly can be marked as a purchased item in order to ignore the parts available under that particular sub-assembly from the BOM. The BOM can be exported to HTML and XLS formats. Any component, listed in the BOM table, can be opened. Assembly structure can be shown with indentations. EnSuite-View is a free and easy-to-use software that allows users to

Key takeaways: Kubotek Creation Engineering launches a new 3D geometry kernel, the KCM Modeler Each object in the KCM modeler carries its own precision for better computational speed and accuracy Kubotek USA’s Key Creator will be released using the KCM kernel Kubotek Creation Engineering, a Division of Kubotek Corporation announced the availability of a new 3D geometry kernel, the KCM Modeler. Most readers will be familiar with Key Creator, the 3D direct modeling CAD solution from Kubotek USA, a subsidiary of Kubotek Creation Engineering. A geometry kernel underpins the 3D modeling capabilities of a typical CAD solution. The introduction of the new KCM kernel was accompanied by claims that it “supercharges compute intensive 3D modeling applications” and that it “solves the decades long CAD interoperability problem.” In discussions with Dr. Paul Stallings, Vice President of Development at Kubotek, and chief architect of the KCM modeler, CIMdata recognizes the expert technical attention given to these two issues, but

CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Ensuring the Dependability of Smart Connected Products.” The webinar will take place on June 23, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) and will propose a road map that connects commonly used tools in reliability engineering with systems engineering processes, including a formal knowledge management system, to improve the dependability of complex, software-intensive products, and product-systems. According to the webinar host, CIMdata’s Director for the Quality & Reliability Engineering Practice, Dr. Venkatesh "Venki" Agaram, “With the ever increasing application of IoT, sensors, communication devices, and artificial intelligence, the intricacies of the information flow in products and product systems renders upfront design, taking into account failure modes and robustness, extremely difficult to achieve. Consequently, the integration of quality & reliability engineering tools with systems engineering becomes critical. However, such integrated solutions are not readily
