Mentor Graphics Corporation and China’s largest SUV and pickup manufacturer Great Wall Motors (GWM) today announced that GWM has standardized on the Mentor Graphics® Capital® electrical design tools. This follows a successful deployment on the Haval SUV model. The Capital product is an advanced software suite for the electrical systems and wire harness domain. Used by leading automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers worldwide, the Capital tool is built to support the complex demands of integrated processes from initial product definition through electrical system design, harness manufacture and vehicle service. GWM used Mentor Graphics Capital Logic™, Capital Integrator™ and Capital HarnessXC™ software for electrical system design and integration, and harness design of the Haval SUV. GWM deployed the Mentor® Capital generative flow, a breakthrough in the automation of systems integration. The generative flow automatically merges re-usable system signal connectivity data with physical topologies to synthesize fully-detailed vehicle wiring designs. This removes a

Graebert™ GmbH today announced that the DraftSight™ Developers World Tour is continuing this week in Phoenix at SOLIDWORKS® World 2015. In October of 2014, Graebert announced that more than 20 plugins would be available to customize the DraftSight 2D CAD solution which was co-developed by Graebert in tandem with Dassault® Systèmes. DraftSight has reached more than 3 million active users in only 4 years of market availability and is now the fastest growing DWG-based CAD community in the world (as well as the second-largest overall). During the world tour, developers will be introduced to the DraftSight API and how to develop certified Plugins for DraftSight. The DraftSight API is a modern programming environment supporting C++, lisp, JavaScript, C#, and the Visual Basic programming languages. The next scheduled stop on the Developers World Tour is scheduled in Bangkok, Thailand on March 27, 2015 to meet with Asian developers. Interested parties seeking to attend this event

Cornell University's College of Engineering and ANSYS are training future engineers worldwide to become proficient in engineering simulation solutions. Through the SimCafe wiki, which was developed in part with National Science Foundation support, students at Cornell and elsewhere are preparing themselves for success by learning to use – for free – the same tools utilized by thousands of engineers in virtually every industry. ANSYS donated the simulation software for the development of the site. SimCafe has helped integrate simulation into 12 mechanical and aerospace engineering courses at Cornell. Outside of the university, SimCafe has attracted more than 130,000 visitors from more than 150 countries including users from over 170 educational institutions. "The effective integration of industry-standard simulation tools with traditional engineering education makes learning more practical and engaging," said Rajesh Bhaskaran, director of engineering simulation at Cornell's Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. "It also gives students unprecedented opportunities to learn in a self-paced, hands-on

Bentley Systems, Incorporated, today announced that it has acquired France-based Acute3D, provider of Smart3DCapture software for reality modeling. Through reality modeling, observations of existing conditions are processed into representations for contextual alignment within design modeling and construction modeling environments. Rapid technology advancements in scanning and photography – and especially the burgeoning application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for these purposes – are making the capture of such observations broadly and continuously affordable in sustaining infrastructure. Acute3D software automates the generation of high-resolution, fully-3D representations from digital photographs taken with any camera, whether highly specialized or embedded in a smartphone. Scalable from site to city, and with precision limited only by the quantity and quality of photography, Acute3D technology can assure that existing conditions are contemporaneously considered throughout the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations of any infrastructure asset. Now that photo sequences from UAVs are likely to become the most feasible source for surveying, construction monitoring, and inspection

Many of us with careers in the PLM economy fail to step back often enough to fully appreciate just how extraordinary this wide and deep technology market is and has always been dating back to its origins. To some market observers, PLM is considered just another enterprise-IT pillar that sits alongside—if not below in their thinking—the ERP, CRM, and SCM markets. They might be surprised to learn that investments in PLM-related software and services as reported by CIMdata in 2014 are $35B globally, which begins to rival ERP spending. But beyond that most basic size ranking, the PLM market differs in far more structural ways that can’t fully be valued by dollars spent, as in other markets that have historically captured the attention of CxOs or the favor of industry media. The most substantial difference is that the benefits of PLM as a business strategy cannot be realized by a single technology
