Siemens today announced the release of Omneo™ Performance Analytics (PA) solution, the latest application for its software as a service (SaaS) Omneo offering, which it obtained last year as part of its acquisition of Camstar. Omneo PA, developed by Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business, delivers product performance intelligence from big data analytics. The solution monitors data across the entire supply chain and customer experience, while analyzing billions of data combinations in seconds. By revealing the hidden intelligence that pinpoints the source of product issues, Omneo PA delivers proactive analysis for big data.   “Performance Analytics empowers us to discover hidden patterns in data in order to ensure optimal product performance,” said Michael Shepherd, Senior Strategist of Product Management at Dell. “Through their big data analytics expertise Omneo is helping us quickly and more insightfully serve our customers.” “Omneo Performance Analytics harnesses the full potential of this powerful technology -- changing the

Sefaira, the market-leading daylighting visualization tool, has just announced a new feature for their software plugins for Autodesk Revit and Trimble Sketchup. In addition to the real-time visualizations announced last year, the new update adds customizable, exportable graphics which offer both a point in time analysis or an annual overview, and analysis tools which help designers easily identify overlit and underlit spaces and review heating or cooling requirements. The new additions come as part of a push to make Sefaira more useful in presenting to clients. “Sefaira’s mission is to empower every designer to create inspiring, high-performing buildings,” explains Sefaira CEO Mads Jensen. “To achieve this, designers need to be able to make good design decisions and also explain and defend them. Our new daylighting features address these demands, and further accelerate our work towards helping designers make great design decisions and to communicate these decisions to their clients.” The additions to the software have come from close collaboration with

 The OPENCut CNC hardware/software solution for plasma and oxy-fuel is designed to optimize startup, productivity, and cutting quality. The system comes with elements needed for plasma 2D, bevel, and oxy-fuel cutting. System modules from OPENCut are designed for the Open control OSAI CNC, up to the multi-touch operator panel, drives, and I/O systems controlled via EtherCAT fieldbus. The plasma generator system is available in 120A, 250A, and 420A sizes equipped with automatic gas console. The OPENCut, HMI and CAM software with 2D and 3D graphics for profile definition, has pre-defined icon libraries and automatic nesting of different profiles.

Geometric announced the availability of a new version 4.0 of its automated design for manufacturability solution, DFMPro for NXâ„¢ software. DFMPro version 4.0 delivers enhanced design flexibility with newly added support for additive manufacturing, tubing and sand casting processes. NX, developed by Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business, is an integrated 3D computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering analysis (CAD/CAM/CAE) software. Companies are changing the way they think, design and manufacture. A next generation technique such as additive manufacturing is gaining widespread adoption in major industries as it offers endless opportunities and opens doors for complex geometries and light-weight parts. However traditional manufacturing techniques such as sand casting are still going strong. With a variety of processes being used for manufacturing parts in a single product, DFMPro can help design engineers learn and apply manufacturing best practices for different processes thus avoiding downstream rework and cost problems. Design problems that result in secondary

Mentor Graphics Corp today announced that Mellanox Technologies has standardized on the new Mentor® Tessent® Hierarchical ATPG solution to manage the complexity and slash the cost of generating test patterns for their leading-edge integrated circuit (IC) designs. Using Tessent Hierarchical ATPG, Mellanox has significantly reduced both the processing time and system memory needed to generate the huge number of manufacturing test patterns needed for high-quality IC test. "The time needed to generate test patterns has been growing rapidly with each new design cycle, thus increasing our test-related costs," said Evelyn Landman, VP of Backend Engineering at Mellanox Technologies. "Moving to Mentor's Tessent Hierarchical ATPG flow has allowed us to significantly reduce turnaround time on current designs. Because this solution is highly scalable, we expect to continue using it on our future designs." The Tessent Hierarchical ATPG flow uses a divide-and-conquer approach to break down the overall ATPG task into smaller, more manageable pieces. Compressed patterns
