CD-adapco today announced the availability of STAR-Cast v11.02, the casting simulation add-on for STAR-CCM+®. STAR-Cast features a new High Pressure Die Casting module, providing casting engineers with an accurate and user-friendly tool for designing stronger, lighter and higher quality casted parts. High Pressure Die Casting is a fast and inexpensive process for mass manufacturing of precision components, resulting in excellent dimensional accuracy and requiring minimal machining. However, defects such as gas inclusions and misruns are hard to control and remain a challenge. This process has traditionally also been difficult to simulate due to the complexity of the physical processes including multiphase flows consisting of both melt and gas. STAR-Cast is a casting dedicated simulation software resulting from a strong partnership between Access e.V. and CD-adapco. Drawing on CD-adapco’s expertise in thermal-fluid simulation and Access’ experience in casting and metallurgy, STAR-Cast integrates industry-leading CAE technology with the detailed models required

Altair presents at this year's HANNOVER MESSE, April 25 - 29, the latest version of its simulation software suite HyperWorks® 14.0, its concept design and optimization tools solidThinking Evolve® and Inspire® 2016, and new design processes for the development and manufacturing of innovative products. In addition, Altair will host: "ATCx AM - Design for Additive Manufacturing," a conference included in the overall program of the CAE Forum. The Altair program takes place on April 27 in Hall 6, starting at 1pm and offers an afternoon filled with presentations from partners such as Laser Zentrum Nord, Materialise, and voxeljet as well as customers such as EDAG and RUAG Space. The companies will present technologies and solutions for additive manufacturing, spanning from design to actual 3D printing.  Altair showcases the entire development and manufacturing processes of a cast aluminum component jointly with its partners HBM nCode, presenting its solutions at the Altair booth, and voxeljet, exhibiting adjacent to Altair.

Intergraph will host a CAESAR II webinar on March 29 at 10:00 a.m. CDT (Houston) / 5:00 p.m. CEST (Amsterdam) and again on March 30 at 8:00 p.m. CDT (Houston) / March 31 at 12:00 p.m. AEDT (Melbourne) that will demonstrate several easy adjustments users can make in the program environment to help simplify and speed up input and provide more content when creating piping models and evaluating piping system stresses. The webinar will discuss ways to organize the input and output to help users save time and improve comprehension of the results. The webinar leader will be David Diehl, lead instructor for CAESAR II, principal author of the CAESAR II online training course and manager of training at Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis Solutions. Diehl has served 16 years on the Society of Piping Engineers and Designers (SPED) board of directors and is a current committee vice-chair. Search for Intergraph on

The first congress on Analysis, Simulation, and Systems Engineering Software Strategies (ASSESS 2016) was held in Potomac, Maryland on January 20-22, 2016. This congress brought together 85 key thought leaders related to simulation and systems engineering from multiple applications and industries. The congress helped set the path forward for strategies related to Software Technologies for Analysis, Systems Engineering and Simulation (STASES). In spite of the blizzard of 2016, which descended upon the Washington, DC area during the event, ASSESS was very well attended. The ASSESS Initiative was formed by Cyon Research and intrinSIM to bring together key players to guide and influence strategies for software tools for model-based analysis, simulation, and systems engineering. ASSESS is a broad reaching, multi-industry initiative to expand the use and benefit of software tools for model-based analysis, simulation and systems engineering. The primary goal of the ASSESS Initiative is to prepare the industry for

3D Systems announced today that it will feature the full range of its advanced 3D printers, materials and software solutions as well as its on demand manufacturing services as a Diamond Sponsor of the 2016 Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) Conference in St. Louis, MO, April 3-7. Visitors to the show are invited to experience how 3D Systems’ technology can transform their workflow and optimize their designs, processes and results. 3D Systems’ technology and subject matter experts will be located at Midway Suite III of the St. Louis Union Station. 3D Systems will also host a diverse program of in-depth discussions on the latest developments in additive manufacturing and digital design for which guests can pre-register today. “Now a leading conference for additive manufacturing, AMUG evolved from an early users’ group of 3D Systems’ Stereolithography technology in the late 1980s,” said Cathy Lewis, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, 3D
