Athletes for Charity, Tata Technologies and the Detroit Lions have joined forces to expose Detroit Public School students to embrace Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), while also developing their skills in reading and writing. “The demand for skilled workers in science, technology, engineering, and math is on the rise while the availability of qualified applicants is on the decline because students are not pursuing degrees and careers within the sector,” said Alisa Harewood of Tata Technologies, a global engineering services company with North American headquarters located in Novi. The program aims to improve learning outcomes and student interest in science, technology, engineering and math, while creating pathways to success in post-secondary education and 21st century careers. Two schools have been selected for the inaugural launch of the STEM Youth Literacy Program: Clark Preparatory Academy—visited on Sept. 9—and Dixon Educational Learning Academy. Representatives from Tata Technologies, Athletes for Charity and the Detroit Lions are

TraceParts launches a brand new mobile application to further enhance the 3D content experience for Engineers and Design Professionals. The application, available on both the Android and iOS platforms, is available to download for free. Supporting mobile phones and tablets, TraceParts Mobile can be used anywhere and anytime, during a commute or in a meeting. Built from TraceParts long established online CAD library TracePartsOnline.net, the mobile application allows Engineers access to the same extensive database containing millions of technical data with 3D models that can be viewed live and moved around at a touch. Once selected among hundreds of suppliers’ catalogs, models can be easily sent by email in any one of the many supported native or neutral CAD formats, so everything is ready back in the office for designers to start work, all from within the application. “We’re always working to make Product Content available everywhere and our new mobile app is an

Today Autodesk Fusion 360—a cloud-based tool that combines 3D industrial and mechanical design, collaboration, and machining in a single package—became the first solution of its kind available for purchase worldwide on the Mac App Store. “Autodesk has done a great job bringing the complete Fusion 360 toolkit to the Mac App Store,” said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "Fusion 360 combines design, collaboration and machining tools into a single package, and now it's available with the security and simplicity of the Mac App Store.” “The fundamental methods of design and manufacturing are experiencing radical disruption,” said Robert “Buzz” Kross, senior vice president at Autodesk. “We started from scratch and co-created Fusion 360 with the product design community to reimagine 3D CAD and CAM. Our global community loves the Mac, and now they have a faster path to getting started with Fusion 360 on the Mac.” In the market for just

MSC Software Corporation and e-Xstream engineering, an MSC Software Company, and developer of Digimat, the nonlinear multi-scale material and structure modeling platform, today announced the new release of Digimat 5.1.1. Understanding composite material behavior in product design is essential to product manufacturing industries that incorporate advanced materials into the design process for lightweighting and quality improvements. The Digimat 5.1.1 release addresses this issue by introducing new capabilities that help engineers, material suppliers, and material users reduce the cost and time to engineer innovative materials and products. Highlights of this release include: Material engineering End-to-end FE analyses of Material RVE Digimat-FE includes an FE meshing technology and solver enabling a complete tool for the end-to-end investigation of composites Representative Volume Element (RVE), based on finite element modeling. Generation of RVE has made tremendous gains in robustness & speed. Meshing (conforming & voxel), FE meshing, solution and post-processing have been integrated, and MSC Software's Marc Nonlinear FEA software was added to the external solver

Dassault Systèmes today announced SOLIDWORKS 2015, the latest release of the company’s successful portfolio of 3D design software applications.

AVEVA announced today that Vodokanal Engineering, an important provider of water supply and wastewater projects in Russia, has chosen AVEVA PDMS as its 3D design modelling solution. AVEVA PDMS will provide much greater design efficiency while allowing Vodokanal to meet the increasingly high standards demanded by key clients. ‘AVEVA technologies are advanced and powerful,’ said Alexander Terentyev, Chief Engineering Officer, Vodokanal-Engineering. “Our customers’ design standards are getting increasingly more sophisticated which was a problem for our current software. One such client is KINEF LLC, which operates the largest oil refinery in North-West Russia. As part of its project management framework, KINEF encourages its contractors to invest in the most advanced technologies to create more efficient project deliverables.  This is particularly true for projects involving 3D design and modelling software, where AVEVA’s PDMS solution has long been the industry standard. ‘In the past, we were never required to check the model for clashes,

CD-adapco today announced its new partnership with Ben Ainslie Racing. The America’s Cup team will be utilizing the CD-adapco simulation tool, STAR-CCM+® in the design of its racing boat. Ben Ainslie Racing team just announced its participation in the 35th America’s Cup taking place in 2017. The focus of the 35th edition of the America’s Cup is sustainability, the set of restrictive rules means this is likely to be the most challenging America's Cup ever from an Engineering Simulation point of view. The introduction of much tighter design specifications, including "one design" components such as a common wing for all contenders, reduces the scope for large design differences between the boats and will likely mean that victory is decided by the smallest of margins. Since the rules will likely prohibit actual sailing of the boats until about 5 months before the competition, most of the important early design decisions will have
