The Bill & Melinda Gates Hall at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York brings together the school’s computing and information science departments in a new joint facility designed to generate collaboration and spontaneous discourse. Its integrated sustainability expresses a commitment to environ­mental stewardship and creates a healthier environment, reduces energy consumption, and preserves natural resources. A BIM strategy implemented through AECOsim Building Designer, Bentley Navigator, MicroStation, and ProjectWise enabled Morphosis Architects to create a holistic view of the building and provide a single information source from early concept through construction. The integrated model increased the design team’s productivity and reduced the staff required to design, document, and coordinate the deliverables. The use of mo­bile devices provided each team member with immediate access to project data and enabled real-time documentation and communication of project work throughout the design and construction process. The Integrated BIM methodology helped the project team deliver this state-of-the-art academic building

Delcam will demonstrate the latest releases in its range of CADCAM software for mouldmakers at the DMP exhibition to be held in Dongguan, China, from the 18th and 21st November.  New releases will be on show of the modelling-for-manufacture CAD system, PowerSHAPE, the PowerMILL CAM system for high-speed and five-axis machining, and the PowerINSPECT inspection software. The 2016 release of PowerSHAPE Pro software will help users to complete complex tooling designs more quickly and more easily.  In addition, a combination of new, more efficient, code and the extension of multi-threaded calculations to many commonly-used tasks will make the software significantly faster than any previous version. One key enhancement allows groups of features to be copied between two solids in a single operation.  While the features do not need to be of the same type, the most common application is expected to be in copying patterns of holes from one solid to another,

Synopsys, Inc. has acquired Protecode, a privately held Canadian software company that provides solutions for detecting and managing open source software (OSS) and the associated license and security risks. This acquisition expands Synopsys' presence in the software quality and security market by adding new talent, technology and products to the company's Software Integrity Platform and extending its existing software composition analysis (SCA) solution. Recent trends highlight that OSS and other third-party components commonly used to build software introduce multiple layers of risk related to license obligations, security vulnerabilities, IP ownership, and quality attributes of the external code. Organizations seeking to mitigate these risks are turning to robust SCA solutions that can address all of these issues. "As organizations continue to rely more and more on open source and third-party components to build software, maintaining total visibility and managing risk throughout the software supply chain is critical," said Andreas Kuehlmann, senior vice president and
