CD-adapco announced today it is hosting an Oil & Gas industry webinar on September 3, 2015, titled, "Using CFD to Support the Design and Operation of Offshore Vessels." This webinar will highlight the application of CFD to evaluate various vessel dynamics, and feature a live demonstration of simulation software for the installation of subsea equipment. Marine engineers involved in the design and operation of offshore vessels will find significant value in this CD-adapco webinar. Having an accurate understanding of vessel behavior is vital from an economic and safety point of view. Presenters Harald Ottens of Heerema Marine Contractors, Alex Read of CD-adapco and Alex Graham of CD-adapco will highlight the application of CFD to evaluate current and wind loads on a semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV); thruster efficiency; roll damping and wave-induced motions; moon pool behavior; and lowering dynamics (added mass and damping). In addition, this CD-adapco online event will also feature a live

Data storage company EMC Corp is contemplating a deal under which it would be acquired by its unit VMware Inc, Re/code reported, citing sources briefed on the discussions. Virtualization software maker VMware would issue new shares in exchange for EMC shares, along with cash raised from the issuance of new debt in a transaction known as a downstream merger, Re/code said. (on.recode.net/1gacVvl) Shares of EMC, which owns 80 percent of VMware, rose 3 percent to $26.80 in heavy trading late on Wednesday. VMware's shares fell 4 percent to $87.23. VMware would issue between $50-$55 billion worth of new stock, of which about $30 billion would be used to cancel EMC's stake in VMware, Re/code said. The remaining shares would be issued to current EMC shareholders, who will also get some cash generated from the issuance of about $10 billion in new debt, Re/code said. A VMware spokesman said the company does not comment on rumor

FirstBuild, GE’s incubator for the next generation of appliances, recently celebrated its first birthday with a new product introduction, the Opal Nugget Ice Maker. This was one of the several products introduced by FirstBuild in their first year of business. The Opal Nugget Ice Maker campaign on Indiegogo has already exceeded its crowdfunding goals by 1000%, suggesting great excitement about the FirstBuild community and excitement from consumers about this product. People participating in FirstBuild’s Indiegogo crowdfunding will receive their Opal Nugget Ice Makers in July of 2016.  GE Appliances initiated FirstBuild to speed up the development of the next generation of home appliances without being hindered by the costs and risks of traditional mass manufacturing.  Their first year results show that they are indeed succeeding in this objective.  How do they do it? FirstBuild partnered with Local Motors (LM) to learn about co-creation best practices, and to use LM’s digital platform for co-creation. They

IT services provider Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp reported stronger-than-expected quarterly revenue and profit, as its business that serves the healthcare industry led the company's growth for the third quarter in a row. Like its Indian rivals Tata Consultancy Services, and Infosys Ltd, New Jersey-based Cognizant gets the largest chunk of its revenue from financial services clients. But its division that helps health insurers, drug companies, and other health-related businesses streamline their operations is its fastest-growing. Cognizant said in May it expected healthcare to drive growth this year, helped by its $2.7 billion acquisition of US healthcare IT services provider TriZetto Corp and the implementation of the US Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. Shares in Cognizant, which also raised its full-year revenue and adjusted profit forecasts for the second time this year, rose as much as 9.6 per cent on Wednesday. Revenue from Cognizant's healthcare clients surged 39 per cent to $897.3 million in the second

MSC Software Corporation today announced that a new version of Digimat, the leading nonlinear multi-scale material and structural modelling platform from e-Xstream engineering, an MSC Software Company, features added grades from Trinseo (former Styron), a global materials company and manufacturer of plastics, latex and rubber. The material modelling data stored in the database helps engineers investigate and predict the behavior of composite materials. These are used, for example, to replace metal parts. Digimat now offers data on Trinseo grades PULSE™ 630GF, PULSE™ 979, VELVEX™ 5250 and the ENLITE™ PP LGF 6002 and ENLITE™ ABS Alloy LGF 6001 structural polymers. “Digimat enables engineers to accurately predict mechanical behavior of parts made of our fibre filled thermoplastics as it takes the anisotropy due to the fibre orientation and the fibre length distribution into account. Therefore we have decided to characterise our fibre filled thermo plastics and make them available in the Digimat-MX database.

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. today announced that Realtek Semiconductor Corp. utilized the Cadence Palladium XP platform to accelerate the successful development and verification of a recent system-on-chip (SoC) design. With the Palladium XP platform, Realtek achieved up to 250X faster acceleration versus its previous methodology and was able to improve quality by executing system simulations six months before the silicon was available. Due to the integrated nature of the Cadence System Development Suite, Realtek was able to save time by reusing over 90 percent of its simulation environment setup for Cadence Incisive Enterprise Simulator on the Palladium XP platform, along with its previous emulation environment. Additionally, the power analysis capability of the Palladium XP platform, along with the ability to test software loads on the emulated system before silicon was available, allowed Realtek to optimize system-level power prior to silicon availability to within five percent of the SoC's actual power measurements in-silicon. "Our customers demand exceptional

CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM consulting and research firm, announces the initiation of a multi-sponsor research project to create an Enterprise Innovation Management (EIM) Solutions guide to help accelerate the development of the global EIM market for the benefit of both solution providers and industry. Co-sponsors of the research effort are eZassi, Planview, Siemens PLM Software, and Sopheon. The goal of the research is to address the existing concerns and typical questions—as well as preempt the emerging concerns—of industrial companies about implementing EIM by providing market education and motivating web events. Through a series of thought leadership interviews with solution provider peers, development of a whitepaper solutions primer on the EIM landscape, and webcast events, CIMdata will define and socialize a common framework of terminology, solution approaches, implementation challenges, and benefits. Through this effort it is expected that industrial companies will become more familiar with enterprise innovation enabling technologies and
