Synopsys, Inc. today announced that Renesas, a leading solution provider delivering highly reliable and high-safety products for automotive, has deployed Synopsys' Design Compiler® Graphical solution for their designs. Improving performance, while reducing power and area, is critical for Renesas to offer high performance balanced with very low power consumption over a wide and scalable range of products. To achieve these goals, Renesas deployed a design flow that combines Design Compiler Graphical and Synopsys' IC Compiler™ place-and-route solution. "As exciting infotainment and safety options become significant criteria in the purchase of new products, our customers are looking to Renesas to deliver higher performance, energy-efficient products to market," said Tatsuji Kagatani, manager of Design Automation Department at Renesas System Design Co., Ltd. "Design Compiler Graphical's significant area and routing congestion reduction, combined with IC Compiler for place and route, enable our design teams to achieve faster timing and smaller area. We have widely deployed Design

SnapEDA, the fastest and easiest way to find and share CAD building blocks for electronics design, is today launching the DesignHub, a one-stop shop to explore CAD building blocks for components developed or curated by industry-leading companies. Collaborators in the DesignHub include Texas Instruments, GaN Systems, Accelerated Designs, Octopart, and Seeed.  The DesignHub shaves hours off design time and ensures maximal reusability by making it easy to search, find, and download computer-aided design (CAD) building blocks, such as PCB footprints and schematic symbols, from leading component manufacturers and providers. All building blocks export to major design tools, including Cadence OrCad/Allegro, Altium, Eagle, Mentor PADS, KiCad, and Pulsonix.  To provide transparency into quality, SnapEDA runs a diagnostic check on each CAD file to catch common manufacturing issues - such as silkscreen-to-copper overlaps, or poorly defined centroids - before they result in costly errors. Additionally a rating system lets engineers approve or flag parts.  The

Microdesk, Inc., announced the launch of its Revit Asset Management Solution ModelStream, a new enterprise asset management solution. ModelStream bridges Autodesk Revit with IBM Maximo, providing a tool that enables facility management and operations and maintenance teams to directly access building information model (BIM) data developed during the design and construction process. "ModelStream is a prime example of how Microdesk is constantly striving to recognize ways to align and support the AECO industry," said Michael DeLacey, President of Microdesk. "Our AEC and Facility Management experts have developed a game-changing solution that directly connects asset management systems with BIM models, enabling owners to seamlessly access all critical building information immediately after project close-out." "ModelStream is an innovative new product that finally addresses a major pain point for owners and facility managers with its bi-directional  connection between Autodesk Revit and IBM Maximo information to create a fully integrated asset management system," said George Broadbent, Director of Asset Management

Cooper Bearings, a SKF Group company, has added an interactive split roller bearing selector to its website, www.cooperbearings.com.  “This user-friendly selector makes it easy for engineers and designers to search our database for the split roller bearings that meet their particular needs, and download 3D drawings,” said Martin Caspall, Cooper Bearings engineering manager. “It also calculates bearing fatigue life for a single shaft size or for multiple sizes.” The 3D models are available in several formats, including STEP and Autodesk Inventor.   The new bearing selector — accessed by clicking “Product Selector” at the bottom of the Cooper homepage — asks the user to specify bore size (one size or a range), speed, radial and axial loads, and other key criteria. It then searches the range of Cooper split-to-the-shaft roller bearings and displays those that meet the criteria. The user selects one and reviews the available housings (pillow blocks, flanges, take-up units, etc.) and seals,

Fashion and lifestyle mobile app Myntra announced that it has partnered with Dassault Systemes to use its 3DExperience platform to further delight customers with a gamut of new experiences. Having launched a Fall/Winter collection of a new brand of tees, jeans, sweatshirts and kurtas, Myntra is going all out to address other pain-points customers face, while shopping for fashion products on their mobile devices. “We are implementing Dassault Systemes’ ‘My Collection for Fashion’ solution, which will help us make decisions much faster, reduce time to market and bring real time, real fashion in quick cycles to our consumers by leveraging the power of 3D technologies. I have experienced Dassault’s virtual walkthrough of a chemical plant and want to bring that experience to the fashion world,” Ganesh Subramanian, Head – New Initiatives at Myntra stated. He said it would take 6-8 months to integrate the Dassault solution and for the backend to be ready,

Alfa Instrumentos, a Brazil-based industrial manufacturer of electronic components, has launched a new catalog of configurable 3D CAD models, built by CADENAS PARTsolutions. Featuring more than 100 product families and 10,000 individual products, the catalog will help streamline the process for engineers looking to specify Alfa Instrumentos parts in to their designs. The configurable parts are available on-demand at Alfa Instrumentos website, ready for download in more than 150 formats. Alfa Instrumentos, best known for their industrial weighing products, as well as weight transmitters, indicators, load cells and big bag loaders, was looking for ways to streamline the process for engineers specifying Alfa Instrumentos products into designs. “Previously, we would get a drawing request from a customer over the phone,” says Breno Chvaicer, President and CEO of Alfa Instrumentos. “Once the sales team took the drawing request, they would send to engineering who would prepare a neutral drawing. Then the whole process would go in reverse,

Delcam will demonstrate the 2016 releases of its FeatureCAM feature-based programming system and its PowerMILL CAM system for high-speed and five-axis machining at the Inspiration Through Innovation event to be hosted by Seco Tools UK at its Alcester headquarters on 23rd and 24th September. The 2016 release of FeatureCAM includes a number of enhancements to the Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy.  Vortex gives the fastest safe metal removal from solid carbide tooling, in particular designs that give deeper cuts by using the full flute length as the cutting surface.  It produces toolpaths with a controlled engagement angle and so maintains the optimum cutting conditions for the complete roughing cycle, giving faster machining and longer tool life. The ability has now been added to adjust and fine tune the non-cutting moves of 2.5D and 3D Vortex toolpaths, with options to retract the tool and/or to increase the feedrate.  These options can be set individually,
