Mentor Graphics Corp.today announced that Xiamen San'an Integrated Circuit Co. Ltd. (San'an IC) has selected the Calibre® nmDRC™ and Calibre nmLVS™ products as its golden signoff physical verification solution for gallium arsenide (GaAs) ICs used in mobile and other wireless applications. As part of its foundry offering, San'an IC will provide the Calibre design rule decks to its customers to help them ensure their designs are error-free and meet all foundry requirements before submitting them to San'an IC for manufacturing. Designs are growing much more complex at all IC nodes as designers address new requirements such as low power, more operational modes, more protocols, redundancy and security. As a result, designers need more sophisticated tools that can handle complex requirements and still maintain fast turnaround. "With radio frequency (RF) and sensor applications expanding rapidly, we need a single verification flow that can handle multiple technologies and process nodes," said Honda Huang, Design Support & Marketing Office

Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM software has been chosen for a new service from Star Prototype that combines additive and subtractive manufacturing.  The new service, which Star Prototype calls AddSub Manufacturing, combines metal 3D printing and five-axis CNC machining to deliver quickly complex, low-volume components that would previously have required the input of two separate bureaux. British-owned Star Prototype has been based in Guandong Province, China, for over ten years, where it has been breaking manufacturing ground by using a combination of new technologies, including 3D printing, alongside their traditional counterparts like CNC machining to deliver top-quality parts for a host of applications.  The company developed the new service after it identified a significant demand for a one-stop-shop for such components. “Many metal 3D printed parts are no longer used as prototypes but as complex low-volume manufactured components,” explained Gordon Styles, president of Star Prototype.  “As a result, many of these parts need certain

Processing between 30 and 60 new tooling projects every day, industrial mechanics specialists Bemap Aranda say WorkNC CAM software is the core element of their manufacturing operation. “It allows the workshop to function around the clock without supervision,” says Director Michel Gauthier. And accurate production control is achieved by using the WorkPLAN Management System to plan and monitor all their projects. Based in the Hautes-Pyrénées region of France, the company undertakes a variety of machining work and tooling equipment repairs, mainly in the aerospace and aeronautics industries, but also for the automotive and railway sectors, too. The engineering office imports customer CAD data of the part into CATIA, and designs the tooling equipment for it. Then the production planning department analyses each tool component and defines the CAM process using WorkNC, from Vero Software. Bemap Aranda use both 3-axis and 3+2-axis programs for their Forest Line, Breton Flymill, Mori Seiki, Doosan and Eumach

Alain de Rouvray, ESI Group’s Chairman and CEO, comments: "The third quarter continues the trend established during the first half of the year, with the increasingly wide adoption of Virtual Prototyping solutions. The Licensing business remained robust with a continued high rate of repeat business in all geographical regions and an improvement in New Business, especially linked to strong performance in China. Still impacted by cyclical effects, Services nevertheless reflected the success of engineering studies, the core of the Group's development strategy. Confident in its development plan and its position at the cutting edge of innovation, ESI Group intends to further develop its technological differentiation strategy through its external growth policy backed by a recent increase in funding in the form of a syndicated loan of €49 million." Sales for the 3rd quarter amounts to €21.4 million, representing sustained growth of 10.3% compared to the 3rd quarter of 2014. There was a positive currency

Atos and Rio 2016 officially opened the Technology Operations Centre for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The official opening comes during the 15th project review by the International Olympic Committee when the TOC is visited as part of the IT readiness review. The TOC in the host city will be supported remotely by a new permanent Technical Technology Operations Center (TTOC) in Spain. This will be the operating model for the future Games that will be delivered fully in SaaS and over the cloud. The TOC is the control and command center for technology that supervises all 144 Olympic competition and non-competition venues. During Games time, this 800-square metre facility will monitor and control the IT systems that support the running of the Games and deliver the results from all the Olympic and Paralympic sports competitions to the world’s media in real time. Since the start of the test events which started

Siemens has entered into an agreement to acquire Polarion Software, developer of the first browser-based application lifecycle management (ALM) enterprise solution. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2016. Terms of the acquisition will not be disclosed. Software is an integral part of product development across all industries and ALM enables manufacturers to continuously integrate, verify and validate the growing software content they build into their products. Polarion is a leader in the ALM market, leveraging an open architecture, exhibiting state-of-art source code management as well as supporting the needs of open source development. As one of the world's leading developers of product lifecycle management (PLM) software, Siemens will add the Polarion offerings to its Teamcenter® software, making ALM an integral part of the product development process. This acquisition will further enhance Siemens support for systems driven product development, a holistic development approach that combines systems engineering with an integrated

Dassault Systèmes today announced the launch of “My Retail Theatre,” its new industry solution experience for consumer goods and retail. Based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, “My Retail Theatre” provides consumer goods companies with interactive, high-end 3D visualization capabilities that let shoppers configure personalized products offline or online.

CD-adapco, the largest privately held CFD-focused provider of Computer Aided Engineering software, is hosting a complimentary workshop on December 7, 2015 in Houston, Texas, titled, “MDX: Reducing Product Development Costs through Simulation.”This event is geared toward oil and gas industry professionals who develop products in support of subsea, subsurface, process & separation and marine & offshore operations and want to reduce development time and costs while improving performance. The event will feature presentations from ABS, Wild Well Controls Advanced Engineering, and the CD-adapco team. As the oil and gas industry faces the challenges presented by the current market downturn, cost reduction and efficiency improvements are a competitive necessity. Traditional design processes that rely on physical testing have high costs and limit the number of design variants that can be evaluated. By automating robust, validated CFD simulations, design teams can increase the number of design points evaluated while reducing the time spent on analysis. Through
