ESI Group announces the recent success of our client, SL Rasch: an architecture firm based in Germany that specializes in innovative buildings and lightweight structures. SL Rasch recently completed two complex architectural projects at the sacred sites of Medina and Mecca. The first was the design of foldable umbrellas that now protect pilgrims from the sun in the Medina Haram Piazza and the second was the design of the Mecca Royal Hotel Clock. Using ESI’s flagship software, Virtual Performance Solution, SL Rasch confidently investigated innovative designs and replaced physical models by virtual tests. Today, the millions of pilgrims that travel every year to the Great Mosque of Medina, in Saudi Arabia, are sheltered by more than 250 hydraulically powered, foldable umbrellas, each measuring 26 x 26 meters. These translucent umbrellas are folded at night and open up during the day to create a micro-climate beneath them that is up to 8°C cooler than

Anya Hindmarch, the London-based designer of luxury handbags and accessories, has selected Centric Software to provide its product lifecycle management (PLM) software. The choice to use the Centric 8 PLM software is an important next step for Anya Hindmarch, according to the fashion company’s president and CEO, James McArthur. “Implementation of the Centric 8 PLM software is the next step within Anya Hindmarch’s multi-year investment program to underpin the company’s rapid growth and expansion worldwide,” he says. Over the past two years, the company has completely overhauled and integrated its technology platform with the introduction of tailored suites of customer-facing and back-of-house software. Implementation of the Centric 8 PLM solution will enhance mission-critical visibility throughout the product development process, says McArthur, replacing spreadsheet and home-grown systems. “Relying on one version of the truth for the details and status of each product under design and development will decrease the number of iterations for samples

TSMC has honored ANSYS with its Open Innovation Platform® Partner of the Year 2014 award for joint development of 16-nanometer (nm) FinFET Plus design infrastructure. The award is given to TSMC OIP partners that have made significant contributions toward the development of design infrastructure for their latest process technologies. ANSYS was recognized for advanced power noise and reliability solutions that helped enable TSMC's 16nm FinFET Plus technology deployment. ANSYS solutions for integrated circuits deliver reduced memory footprint and turnaround time to meet the demands of increased computational speed caused by the growing design complexity. TSMC and ANSYS collaborated on ANSYS®RedHawk™ and Totem™ tools in N16FF+ technology to ensure needed accuracy for static and dynamic voltage drop analysis, electromigration (EM) verification and thermal reliability sign-off of system-on-chip (SoC) and mixed-signal designs. FinFET technology is a three-dimensional transistor architecture that results in higher-performing and lower power chips used in mobile, computing and networking applications. "ANSYS has partnered with TSMC

For the third consecutive year, SoftInWay is donating its software to aid teams of students participating in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronauts Undergraduate Team Engine Design Competition. SoftInWay will be donating educational versions of its software for the design and optimization of turbomachinery - AxSTREAM EDU. Students will be able to utilize the software in tackling this year’s design challenge. The software will enable participants to move beyond the diagram phase of their projects to easily create full-view, three-dimensional machine components. AxSTREAM EDU is used by over 40 universities and 1,000 students around the world. This year’s competition in centered on producing an ultra-high bypass ration turbofan engine for the future. Teams are being asked to look to 2015 and design the turbofan for entry into service around that time to be used on twin-engine, wide-body passenger and freight aircrafts. The teams’ first goal is to increase propulsive efficiency at
