Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced the availability of new tools delivering integrated electrical/electronic/software systems engineering capability for the transportation market. The new CapitalSystems tools allow implementations to be optimized for key parameters such as cost and weight. Unlike other approaches, engineers within the various disciplines do not need to understand one another's detailed syntax. This makes the new tools easy to deploy, leaving staff free to concentrate on design innovation.  Transportation platforms such as automobiles and aircraft are largely defined by their electrical/electronic systems, including embedded software. But implementation decisions, such as choosing the best processing resource for a software component, are hard to optimize because cross-discipline impacts are difficult to assess. For example, re-locating a software component may affect not only processor characteristics but also databus communications and wiring implementations. Given the scale of electrical/electronic content in modern vehicles, poor decisions can have significant impacts.  The problem can be solved by focusing

Leading Korean engineering company Hyundai Engineering Co., Ltd (Hyundai Engineering) and Intergraph® Process, Power & Marine (PP&M) have announced the launch of a solution that is expected to improve productivity by 20 percent or more during the design phase of a project. Hyundai Engineering has used Intergraph software for over 20 years and adopted next-generation design software Intergraph Smart™ 3D in 2008. This provided an immediate boost to the productivity and efficiency of the company's designers, helping to cement its place as one of Korea's leading and most competitive engineering, procurement and construction companies (EPCs). However when it came to verifying the quality of design work produced by sub-contractors and junior engineers, it was determined that too many work hours were still being spent on repetitive tasks. The company approached Intergraph with this requirement in late 2014 and a year-long collaborative project was started. The result is the Intelligent Design Basis Verification, a customization

AVEVA announced the commercial launch of AVEVA Everything3D™ 2.1 (AVEVA E3D™). The release builds on the software’s proven ability to deliver time and cost savings for brownfield and revamp projects by increasing productivity for EPCs and Owner Operators. Enhanced capabilities such as PointCloud demolition and displaying laser data directly on drawings enable designers to interact with 3D models in ways that have not been previously possible. Optimised design efficiency is delivered through an enhanced user interface which reduces learning curves and moves projects more quickly into production. ‘In the current economic climate where Capex spend is reduced, life extension of existing assets is a priority for our customers,’ said Dave Wheeldon, CTO, AVEVA. ‘Listening to that message we have put added focus on capabilities which can transform how customers perform brownfield projects, to increase productivity, improve quality and drive down project time. Brownfield projects range widely in scale with many of

An investment in a new Mazak machining centre convinced Neil and Gareth Williams, Joint Managing Directors of Halesowen-based Hockley Pattern, that the time had come to move up to Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM software for five-axis and high-speed machining. One of the UK’s leading toolmakers for the aerospace and automotive industries, Hockley Pattern specialises in turnkey tooling packages for the production of composite components, together with all the associated jigs and fixtures for trimming, drilling, checking, assembling and bonding those parts.  The company boasts an impressive list of clients in both sectors, having supplied the likes of Airbus, Bombardier, Rolls Royce, Spirit Aerostructures, Triumph Structures, GE Aviation, GKN, Bentley, BMW and Jaguar Land Rover. The company was founded by Neil and Gareth’s father in 1979 and is now jointly managed by the two brothers.  Since moving to its current site in Halesowen six years ago, it has doubled its turnover, increased its workforce

Tech Soft 3D announced Tetra 4D Enrich, a new application that enables anyone to create rich, interactive 3D PDF documents quickly and easily directly inside of Adobe Acrobat [Professional]. Tetra 4D Enrich is the first and only solution that allows anyone to create data rich, interactive 3D PDFs inside of Adobe Acrobat and without the need for development skills. Tetra 4D Enrich consolidates all required product information in one document (CAD, metadata, external data like ERP or PLM attributes) to make it interactive. Users are able to create their own template, as well as utilize existing templates that are highly customizable. Once one of these templates are created they can be reused to create compelling documents such as work instructions, part catalogs, maintenance or repair documents and technical data packages. The interactive 3D PDF created with Tetra4D Enrich functions more like an “app” that has all the data needed to support a

Maplesoft™ announced the release of the MapleSim CAD Toolbox, a new add-on to MapleSim that allows engineers to understand and improve their mechanical designs by bringing their CAD assemblies into MapleSim, the advanced system-level modeling and simulation platform. The new toolbox makes it easy to import CAD models into MapleSim, so engineers can learn how their designs will behave as part of a larger, multidomain system, and apply the advanced analysis tools of MapleSim to investigate and optimize their designs and final application. The MapleSim CAD Toolbox imports CAD models directly into MapleSim, recreating the model components and preserving their kinetic and kinematic properties as well as the spatial relationships between components. It offers feature detection, allowing users to easily add new coordinates at points of interest, such as the center of a hole or along the edge of a component, and it makes it easy to share coordinate frames between separate bodies,

Cadence Design Systems has announced the delivery of the new Virtuoso advanced-node platform that is enabled for all 10nm FinFET designs. This next-generation custom design platform delivers up to 5X improvement in designer productivity and also provides initial support for emerging 7nm technologies. To address the challenges that come with advanced-node FinFET designs, innovative capabilities in the Cadence Virtuoso advanced-node platform allow designers to better manage complexity and process effects, the company indicated. The key capabilities include multi-patterning and color-aware layout, electrically aware design (EAD), module generator (ModGen)-based device array flow, 10nm custom routing, and in-design physical verification system (iPVS). "Innovation is the core of our business, and through our close collaboration with leading foundries and customers, we've been able to optimize our custom design platform for advanced-node processes," said Tom Beckley, senior VP and GM of custom IC and PCB group at Cadence. "The new features included with the Virtuoso Advanced-Node

General Sportwear Co., Inc®, a leader in private-label woven bottoms, has selected Gerber Technology's YuniquePLM™ to standardize processes across its vertically integrated supply chain. Prior to its implementation of YuniquePLM, General Sportwear relied on email and Excel® spreadsheets to share style attributes amongst its teams, as well as communicate styles throughout their development process. As information across these platforms were neither standardized nor centralized, information retrieval and efficient collaboration was, at times, difficult to achieve. Jeff Rosenstock, vice president of General Sportwear, said, "We are very excited to implement YuniquePLM into the way we work. Designers will be able to spend more time designing and less time managing files and sending specifications via email." Rosenstock continued, "A transparent and centralized system will ensure that our factories will be up to date at each step of the design process and reduce our sample and development turnaround time. With YuniquePLM, we look forward to
