Anark Corporation today announced the release of Anark Core™ 4.3.2 this week at the GPDIS 2014 Conference in Phoenix Az., hosted by Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Parker Aerospace. The latest release of Anark Core will be demonstrated at Anark Booth #37 and will be discussed at the breakout session entitled "Deploying a Common Model Based Enterprise in an Uncommon CAD & PLM World" on Wednesday September 10th at 1:20PM in the Geronimo Room. In addition to demonstrating the latest version of Anark Core, Anark will present the following capabilities at GPDIS: Publish model-based engineering release documentation from popular 3D CAD applications (like CATIA, CREO, NX and SolidWorks) stored within multiple PLM/PDM databases like Enovia, Teamcenter or Windchill; Combine MBOM and EBOM data stored in separate ERP and PLM databases into synchronized "graphically rich" 3D MBE documents; Transform native CATIA and NX 9 part and assembly-level 3D model-based definition data into "pixel perfect" 3D PDF and

As engineering students across the globe return to the classroom, more and more of them will learn to harness the power of ANSYS simulation software – the same tools that they'll be expected to use in their future careers. A growing number of schools – including the University of Bath, the Technical University of Hamburg, Georgia Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the University of Tulsa, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Iowa State University, National Institute of Technology Rourkela and North Carolina State University – are offering all of their engineering students access to ANSYS technology through a campus-wide solution. With campus-wide solutions, access to ANSYS® software is centrally procured at a university. It replaces individual department licenses with a broad, multi-user one, so most universities are able to increase license capacity and access to all necessary physics, while leveraging the cost advantages of a volume purchase. The arrangement creates an ideal academic environment for broader adoption

Tata Consultancy Services announced the completion of the company’s sixth and most successful year of its goIT Student Technology Awareness Program, with a national expansion that now includes 11 cities across the U.S. and a launch in Toronto, Canada, this October. Founded in 2009, goIT aims to inspire students to pursue education and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic (STEM) fields, by deploying TCS employee volunteers to teach computer science and programming concepts. Covering career awareness workshops, hands-on technology education, teacher training, and parent orientation, the program is offered free of cost to middle and high school students through in-school, after-school, and out-of-school formats. “Today’s digital economy and new technologies, such as big data and analytics, robotics and artificial intelligence, cloud computing, mobile and pervasive computing, and social media, are increasing the importance and demand for STEM skills. To succeed on tomorrow’s stage, students must today have a solid STEM foundation and

SPRING Technologies announces its partnership with Machining Cloud GmbH.  Through this new partnership, users of NCSIMUL Machine (CNC machining simulation) and NCSIMUL Tool (cutting-tool management) will have direct access to highly accurate cutting-tool data and product knowledge (3d models, cutting conditions, tool parameters) from the world’s leading cutting-tool manufacturers. “This partnership is a major step forward in our agenda to deliver the NCEXPERIENCE® vision, and a key enabler strengthening the competitiveness of our customers, on both short and long term,” says Philippe SOLIGNAC, Corporate Marketing Director, SPRING Technologies. Through the Machining Cloud, the manufacturer's descriptive, usage and geometric information and application knowledge is always up-to-date and readily available from any location and, or device. “By utilizing cloud technology and industry standards for data - including ISO 13399, GTC, STEP and MTConnect – SPRING and the Machining Cloud will provide a smooth flow of data from the cutting-tool manufacturer to the customer’s

Monolithic PLM systems will in future be replaced by modular platforms like CONTACT Elements that are easier to introduce, extend and customize. CIMdata is convinced that this trend is what will make it possible to move from product data management to product lifecycle management. According to Peter Bilello, CEO of the international consulting and market research company, there is now considerably more interest in open digital platforms. Companies are looking for ways to expand their PDM installations so that they become comprehensive PLM solutions without having to invest excessive amounts of time and money. CIMdata has identified many areas in which action needs to be taken to support the virtual product and the virtual product engineering processes from initial conception right through to end of life, starting with ideas and innovation management, through requirements management, systems engineering and portfolio management, right up to enterprise BOM management and digital manufacturing. What is needed

Trimble and Frank Gehry announced that they have entered into a strategic alliance to collaborate to transform the construction industry by further connecting the office to on-site construction technologies. As part of the alliance, Trimble has acquired Gehry Technologies, the software and consulting services business that has been instrumental in delivering Frank Gehry's visionary designs while keeping cost and schedule in line for his clients. The alliance combines deep Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry experience with advanced construction technology to empower visionary designers such as Gehry Partners to build groundbreaking projects on time, under budget and without change orders—enabling designers, builders and operators to collaborate more efficiently.  "This merger is a dream for me. In Trimble, we find a partner who has like-minded ambitions and goals to create efficiencies in the AEC industry that allow the creativity of the architectural profession to flourish and deliver value-added creative solutions within the realities of

GRAITEC is pleased to announce the acquisition of ERA3, based in Italy, and its well established Fabrication Information Management software E3Workshop and E3DSTViewer. This strategic step for GRAITEC builds on an already strong position in the steel market place offering steel customers, with or without 3D steel detailing software, an integrated fabrication management solution to manage all aspects of production, be it NC-automated or manually carried out procedures. GRAITEC continues to strengthen its dominant position in Construction technology solutions across Europe and the ambition of both companies is to provide superior manufacturing management software for steel construction, and also expand development to address the worldwide market.

 PDF Key takeaways: Developing new and innovative products faster by collaborating on complex engineering information is critical for business success New cloud based tools positively impact product development by providing connections to additional company resources Gaining access to 3D corporate knowledge anywhere and on any device provides a competitive advantage Engineering Information Collaboration The amount and complexity of engineering information required to develop innovative products continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. The capabilities and tools that provide access to information for most engineers lags behind the increasing level of complexity demanded to create innovative products. The need to collaborate on highly detailed 3D solid models has eclipsed traditional tools. A global workforce has added additional pain to the process of interacting with colleagues on important 3D product design issues. What most companies need is a way to share complex 3D information and collaborate both internally and externally without the traditional challenges of time, location, and access
