There’s a new way of doing mechanical engineering, and Michigan Technological University is taking steps to make sure that their students come out of school skilled at using the new technology.   HyperWorks® modeling and simulation software developed by Altair, a technology and services company that focuses on business and engineering innovation, is delivering a new class of design tools for tomorrow’s engineer. And Michigan Tech is one of the first engineering schools to incorporate this commercial suite of computer-aided engineering software into its entire mechanical engineering curriculum. The software enables engineers to do simulation-driven design, which takes the place of prototyping, testing and prototyping again. “It’s faster and cheaper,” says Associate Professor Chuck Van Karsen, who teaches the new Altair software. “Students are learning to make better decisions without as much guesswork.”  Now, instead of guessing what their engineering project should look like, building it, testing it to see what doesn’t work, going

CGS, a global provider of business applications, enterprise learning and outsourcing services, today announced that Glamorise Foundations, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of bras for full-figured women, selected BlueCherry® Enterprise Resource Processing Suite (ERP) to support its sales expansion, purchasing and sourcing growth, and supply chain processes. After reflecting on its continued global expansion, Glamorise sought a solution to support the purchasing and sourcing for its expanded selling platform. While considering BlueCherry ERP to support its sales channel growth, Glamorise also discovered the added value the solution could bring to its supply chain processes, offering a single system of support for customer orders, electronic data interchange (EDI) and more. The CGS BlueCherry ERP solution will arm Glamorise with the tools needed to support its continued growth and will create a single system for supply chain and process management. "When we outgrew our legacy system, we knew we needed a trusted solution to

CD-adapco, the largest privately held CFD-focused provider of Computer Aided Engineering software, is hosting an oil and gas seminar on January 28 in Houston, Texas titled, “Subsea: Improving Safety and Mitigating Risk through Simulation.” This complimentary event will unveil some of the financial benefits the use of simulation can offer subsea engineers. As companies involved in the global Oil and Gas industry seek to remain profitable while oil prices slump to record lows, they are increasingly turning to engineering simulation as a method of reducing equipment failure, while simultaneously using simulation to improve product longevity and reduce operating costs. This seminar will include presentations from CD-adapco experts and major industry influencers such as Wood Group Kenny and Norton Straw Consultants. Topics to be discussed include erosion, thermal analysis, flow-induced and vortex-induced vibration, and separators. The event will also include a demonstration and hands-on session with STAR-CCM+®, CD-adapco’s flagship simulation tool. Register for this event at http://www.cd-adapco.com.

PROSTEP, Inc, a Birmingham, MI, USA, company, is pleased to announce a new partnership with 3DA Systems (www.3dasystems.com), based in Victoria, BC, Canada. Both companies aim to provide the AEC / BIM community with the most comprehensive tools to communicate rich 3D data via the universal PDF file format. With 3D PDF Converter for Revit, designers and architects can forward three dimensional images created in Autodesk® Revit® to anyone with a current version of the freely available Adobe® Reader.  An expensive, specialized design program license is no longer necessary to share design elements and protect intellectual property. Additionally, PROSTEP’s 3D PDF Pro, a plugin for Adobe Acrobat Pro, enables engineers and project planners alike to demonstrate projects more effectively with 3D PDF documents by creating interactive sequential animations directly within the PDF. The partnership between PROSTEP, Inc and 3DA Systems allows 3DA Systems customers to access applications designed to supercharge 3D PDF documents.

Accenture has launched a digital portal that helps product developers such as engineers accelerate delivery of products to market at lower costs through greater efficiency. The Portal consolidates large amounts of product development data from multiple enterprise systems in a single, organized view, reducing the time needed for product developers to search for this data by up to 95 percent. Leveraging this portal, these professionals can use analytics to anticipate and solve problems, as well as develop insights and make better-informed decisions. Accenture developed the EPIC portal for companies that design, engineer and manufacture complex products in the aerospace, automotive, consumer products, electronics, industrial equipment, high-tech and life science industries. The portal features pre-defined integration with product lifecycle management, enterprise resource planning and a range of other applications used in product design and production. “Throughout large, complex companies, product developers grapple with data scattered across too many siloed databases, complicated system user interfaces, and
