Trimble introduced today Trimble® MEPdesigner for SketchUp, a new platform extension to SketchUp Pro specifically designed to improve the productivity and ease of use in 3D computer-aided design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) for contractors. The platform extension is designed to enable contractors to quickly and easily migrate from a 2D to a 3D work environment, through SketchUp Pro, a 3D modeling platform used around the world. The announcement was made at Trimble Dimensions. Trimble MEPdesigner was created specifically for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) contractors who are looking for an easy-to-use and cost-efficient 3D CAD platform. Trimble MEPdesigner for SketchUp version 1.0 will initially support electrical systems objects including conduit, cable trays and device boxes, and continually expand to incorporate intelligent object data and other MEP systems specific to today's contractor's needs. The solution also features tools that allow contractors to easily create custom components and route conduit within the SketchUp Pro platform. MEP

Perception Software today released AgileXPLORER Free Edition, an application that offers Amazon-like search results on product data housed inside of Oracle’s Agile Product Lifecycle Management solution. AgileXPLORER Free Edition enables the user to quickly navigate to key product data in order to make better and faster decisions. “This solution has the potential to dramatically improve the value proposition for our Agile PLM customers,” Stephen Porter, chief executive officer of Zero Wait-State said. “Giving companies more control over their data and new ways to use the information is a big differentiator for Agile PLM. We look forward to working with Perception and our clients to develop compelling solutions in data quality, costing, compliance, and analytics while leveraging the enhanced navigation capabilities AgileXPLORER offers.” As Oracle Agile PLM becomes more and more the single source of truth for all things product data inside the Enterprise, AgileXPLORER Free Edition gives the individual user the ability to easily

Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced several new capabilities including a new Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) and enhancements to secondary air analysis for its Flowmaster® simulation software solution for thermo-fluid systems.  The Flowmaster product, renowned for accuracy, is used at every stage of development, from concept through design optimization and validation, providing minimized design effort to accurately simulate complex systems. The latest release contains new functionality addressing the needs of the automotive, aerospace, process/energy and gas turbine industries. The Flowmaster product now features a new FMI which enables usage of Flowmaster models in an open-source environment thereby allowing systems engineers to use models created by different simulation tools in a true collaborative environment. “Mentor Graphics’ new Functional Mock-up Unit (FMU) model export capability is a hugely important development for system integrators who are looking for a standardized, zero-cost solution to tool coupling,” said Hassen Hadj-Amor, product manager at D2T, a 20-year powertrain development

Any COMSOL Multiphysics model can be turned into an application with its own interface using the tools provided with the Application Builder desktop environment. Using

C3D Labs is pleased to introduce three new design programs from customers of its С3D geometric modeling kernel. New releases from NTP Truboprovod and Center GeoS are benefiting from advanced visualization, higher accuracy, and faster construction speed, while LEDAS has unveiled new technology for comparing three-dimensional models. All of these programs are based on the C3D geometric kernel. PASSAT from NTP Truboprovod performs structural analysis of heat exchange vessels. The software company used the C3D kernel to improve the visualization of 3D models: Adds the ability to cut holes in elements easily Ensures accurate construction of coupling rings of pipe connectors, curvatures, flarings, and contact surfaces of flanges Exports models in ACIS, IGES, Parasolid, and STEP formats K3-Mebel 7.3 from Center GeoS is the newest version of a professional software suite for designing, manufacturing, and selling cabinet furniture. Its new features became possible because of C3D: Adds the geometric constraint solver from C3D Solver Visualizes the kinematics of different

Bentley Systems, Incorporated, announced the immediate availability of Bentley OpenPlant Orthographics Manager V8i for the automatic extraction and production of high-quality general arrangement (GA) plant drawings from a 3D model. This newest addition to the Bentley OpenPlant family of products reduces the time required to output single- and double-line drawings, including all annotations, dimensions, and label placements, from hours to minutes. The benefits of Bentley OpenPlant Orthographics Manager V8i to engineering, procurement, and construction contractors, owner-operators, and others – in industries ranging from oil and gas to power generation, manufacturing, and marine – include: increased productivity, with designers spending less time on manual drawing production and more time on their primary job; a reduced potential for errors in drawings, speeding review times; the ability to ensure annotations, dimensioning, and labels are located in a free space, enhancing readability and reducing markups and drawing rework; integration with Bentley’s ProjectWise collaboration services, enabling designers to easily and securely share drawings and other files across even globally dispersed projects, saving

Trimble announced financial results for the third quarter of 2014. Third Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights Third quarter 2014 revenue of $584.8 million was up 5 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2013. Engineering and Construction revenue was $342.3 million, up 10 percent, with growth across all major product categories. Field Solutions revenue was $88.8 million, down 11 percent due to weakness in sales of agriculture products, partially offset by an increase in Geographic Information System (GIS) sales. Mobile Solutions revenue was $121.2 million, up 7 percent due to double-digit growth in sales of transportation and logistics solutions. Advanced Devices revenue was $32.6 million, down 1 percent. Geographic results were mixed in the quarter. North America grew year-over-year in line with the second quarter, but Europe slowed overall, particularly in agriculture. Asia Pacific growth slowed in the quarter, with mixed performance across the region. Rest of World grew in the quarter, also with mixed performance across the geographies.   Both GAAP and non-GAAP profitability were
