ASCON Group is pleased to announce the release of Service Pack 1 (SP1) for KOMPAS-3D V15. This service pack contains improvements and several new functions designed to allow our customers to carry out 3D modeling more effectively. The most important new functions in SP1 are these: Additional thread fitting options Third-angle projection method Setup dialog box for exporting models in STL format Additional Thread Fitting Options The Cosmetic Thread command has been improved with additional fitting options. When a thread is fitted to a conical or spherical surface (with an axis common to another element), then SP1 enables additional types of fittings. These apply to examples like threaded rods with chamfers or fillets (see figure below), or threaded holes with conical bottoms. The benefit to users is that they can move the upper border of the thread to preserve the height of the chamfer or fillet; similarly, the bottom border can be moved to retain the length of the

C3D Labs is pleased to announce that its geometric kernel is being integrated into software from Dynamics & Structures Lab of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. The research laboratory is developing Belinda Structure as an environment for engineering analysis. Thanks to the intelligence of the C3D geometric kernel, the software gains capabilities in creating and analyzing data, and in importing geometry models from other CAD systems. Dynamics & Structures Lab specializes in software for calculating the strength of structures like bridges, and is a specialized research center into the dynamics of structures, buildings, and facilities. Belinda Structure is their software that designs and analyzes deformable systems by taking into account dynamic loads, such as on railway bridges that carry high-speed trains. When the dynamics of deformable systems are calculated, it is crucial to take into account the geometry and inertial characteristics, and contact conditions of the structure accurately. ”This is why we decided to use

Zuken Inc. has announced that major Taiwanese Design and Manufacturing Services (DMS) company has built a new design environment centering on CR-8000 Design Force based on a technical partnership with Zuken. Pegatron adopted Zuken's CR-8000 in 2012, and through technical cooperation with Zuken they integrated advanced automated design functions into CR-8000 Design Force based on design, verification and manufacturing know-how cultivated through many years of experience. As a result, remarkable achievements have already been made in terms of shortened project lead times and quality improvements. Based on these results, Pegatron has determined that their new PCB design flow based on CR-8000 exhibits performance far superior to that of other existing design systems and, moving forward, the company plans to accelerate full-out deployment efforts. Pegatron is now offering contracted design and manufacturing services to its customers through direct utilization of CR-8000 and CR-5000 data. They will exchange design data with their customers in CR-5000/CR-8000 data format. In

Infor announced on its quarterly Lender Update Friday, September 12, that fiscal 2015 Q1 software license fees and subscriptions revenue increased 22 percent at actual currency rates and in constant currency1 compared to its fiscal 2014 recast Q1. Non-GAAP Q1 license fees and subscriptions revenue2 increased 21 percent at actual currency rates and 20 percent in constant currency driven by strong license sales and continued momentum in software-as-a-service (SaaS) in the first quarter of Infor's fiscal year 2015. The areas of performance that showed the most momentum were the result of the continued drumbeat of Infor 10x product releases including Infor CloudSuiteTM, which was announced in March of this year. Bookings of SaaS subscription licenses more than doubled from the same quarter in FY14. This marked the first full quarter of sales for Infor CloudSuite, the first group of industry-specific application suites available on Amazon Web Services' (AWS) cloud. Since its announcement in March,

Alain de Rouvray, ESI Group’s Chairman and CEO, comments: “The growing use of our Virtual Prototyping solutions, illustrated notably by the strength of New Business in the Licenses activity, was mitigated in the first half by adverse economic effects such as the persistence of significant foreign exchange impacts, the effects of the refocus of non-core Services and the one-off deferral of significant License contracts at year-end. These effects, which will attenuate during the second half, are not expected to undermine the Group’s business momentum, leaving intact the potential for revenue growth over the full year. We will therefore continue to follow with confidence our roadmap as a strategic and critical partner of major OEMs who aim to accelerate the elimination of physical prototypes in the development of innovative industrial products.” Second-quarter 2014 revenue: buoyant Licenses revenue Second-quarter 2014 revenue amounted to €22.5 million, a slight increase of 1.6% at constant exchange rates
