Granta Design announced the release of CES Selector™ 2015, focused on making it even easier to solve real-world engineering problems. CES Selector is PC-based software used by materials experts and product development teams to make better materials decisions as they seek to improve product performance, reduce costs, and minimize risks. Enhancements include: new tools to help users rapidly specify engineering requirements during materials selection; additional support for Finite Element Analysis (FEA); new and extended data for metals equivalency studies; and improved coverage of plastics and medical materials. There are also new resources for those concerned about environmental and materials supply risks. CES Selector 2015 will be demonstrated at next week’s Materials Science and Technology (MS&T) event in Pittsburgh, PA (October 12-16). An exciting new feature is the Engineering Solver™, a tool for use during material selection. It helps the user to quickly identify target material properties based on the engineering requirements of the application by means of

Esterline CMC Electronics (CMC) is using ANSYS solutions to quickly and easily develop next-generation primary flight display systems for aircraft – reducing the time and costs required for certification while speeding time to market. Pilots rely on primary flight display systems for such vital aircraft information as air speed and altitude. CMC had been using a legacy tool that lacked the functionality to ensure compliance with DO-178B, a standard that determines whether the software will perform reliably in an airborne environment. Now, by leveraging ANSYS® SCADE Display®, CMC is reducing total development time and costs while migrating legacy flight display code onto a more modern technology platform.  SCADE Display is a powerful and versatile graphics design and development environment for embedded human machine interfaces. The ANSYS solution represents a new generation of graphics software development tools, spanning prototyping, display design, simulation, verification and validation, and certified code generation supporting multiple safety standards. "One of the key aspects of

Lectra is pleased to announce that it has won the 2014 International Company of the Year Award for France after receiving the same distinction on September 24 for the country’s southwest region. EY, one of the world leaders in advisory, assurance, tax and transaction services, started its Entrepreneur of the Year awards program in 1986 in the United States. The program now spans more than 58 countries, and this was the 22nd year the prize was awarded in France. “This International Company of the Year Award reflects the broad scope of Lectra, which serves its customers in more than 100 countries and achieves 92% of its revenues overseas," said Daniel Harari, Lectra CEO. "We are a transnational company with 32 subsidiaries abroad and more than 1,400 employees representing 50 different nationalities." A ‘glocal’ company, Lectra has succeeded internationally and, at the same time, maintained strong local roots. The company has preserved its French

The ExOne Company announced today the appointment of three new independent sales representatives in Europe for ExOne's complete product portfolio, including 3D printing machines, 3D printed products and industrial microwave systems. ExOne has appointed HASMAK A.

Established engineering software business LimitState has released a new software application, LimitState:FIX, which automatically fixes 3D model files. This simplifies the process of preparing 3D models for printing. Utilising the unique Polygonica technology from engineering software technology firm MachineWorks, the software promises to transform the productivity of professionals in additive manufacturing and 3D printing. 3D models that fail to print is one of the most frustrating issues for designers, engineers, jewellers and 3D bureaux. It wastes significant working time for many 3D businesses and is a keenly felt business issue. LimitState:FIX solves this problem. It provides a ‘one click’ automatic fix solution for 3D STL files, thereby enabling them to be printed. When the user opens an STL file in LimitState:FIX, the file is analysed, and can then be automatically fixed. Specifically, LimitState:FIX analyses and repairs holes in solids and fixes defective mesh files. It closes solids, fixes polygon orientation, removes self-intersections and
