Autodesk has added Delcam’s FeatureCAM feature-based CAM software for its Autodesk Workshop at Pier 9 in San Francisco.  FeatureCAM will be used to program all the CNC equipment at the facility, including a DMS five-axis router and a Mori Seiki mill-turn machine. To see more about how Autodesk is using FeatureCAM, please go tohttp://www.delcam.tv/pier79 Autodesk opened its Pier 9 facility in September 2013 to support the company’s vision of helping everyone to imagine, design and create a better world.  The 27,000 square foot site is located a short walk from the company’s San Francisco headquarters. "Pier 9 is a very interesting facility because it has traditional Autodesk software alongside an incredible workshop,” explained Gonzalo Martinez, Director of Strategic Research at Autodesk.  "It has a whole floor for additive manufacturing, plus we have a metal shop and a wood shop on the site.  The best part of the whole concept is that it lets

Aras® announced the results of independent testing conducted by Logic 20/20 for the scalability of Aras Innovator 10 running Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition. Results validate optimal performance and resource utilization for 1,000,000 named users with 250,000 concurrent users - the largest testing conducted to date in the enterprise PLM industry. Aras Innovator 10 Running on SQL Server 2014 Scalability Benchmark Methodology and Performance Results report available at www.aras.com/scalability “Testing validates that Aras Innovator 10 on SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition can handle an extremely high number of concurrent users and data when running on standard server configurations,” said Anders Westby, Director of Cloud Services and Testing at Logic 20/20. “During testing the average response times were very fast, and no hardware bottlenecks were observed during any of the tests. Under the heaviest load average CPU utilization was generally below 10 percent and was never higher than 20 percent.” “SQL Server 2014 delivers

 PDF The Role of NEi Nastran in the Autodesk Simulation Portfolio Key takeaways: Autodesk continues to aggressively invest in Simulation & Analysis technologies that can be used both stand-alone and integrated with 3D CAD These simulation technologies will now be available to customers on the engineering desktop as well as via Autodesk’s 360 Cloud deployment model (see previous CIMdata Commentary on Simulation 360 in September, 2012) Autodesk’s recent acquisition of NEi Software and NEi Nastran is the next step in enabling more advanced structural simulation capabilities based on the widely used Nastran FEA solver format for structural analysis The ultimate goal and the challenge for Autodesk will be delivering robust simulation technology not only to the traditional analysis specialists, but making simulation best practices available to and readily consumable by a much broader base of engineers and designers in the overall design market Autodesk’s Design, Lifecycle, and Simulation (DLS) team, led by industry veteran Buzz Kross, recently

Webinar to address how organizations can tightly integrate software with all other engineering domains in the product development lifecycle ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 4 September 2014—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces that Stan Przybylinski, Vice President of Research, will take part in a webinar sponsored by Electric Cloud on the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, and the Rise of Multi-Domain Continuous Delivery. With digitalization disrupting business across all industry segments, product development leaders now say that software accounts for 80% of product innovation and value. To differentiate and accelerate the introduction of new products to the market, organizations are now faced with the need to tightly integrate software with all other engineering domains in the product development lifecycle. "Products in many segments rely on software to deliver more and more of their customer value. Industrial companies must adapt, adding software development, delivery and on-going management to their

Originally scheduled for November 2014, the developers at PDF3D have accelerated production of their latest version update with even more features than initially planned - the most exciting of those being the advanced PRC features for CAD users and engineers, alongside some new geospatial features for those working in civil, surveying and mining. PRC is fast becoming the preferred and most feature-rich method used to embed 3D data and models into a PDF file and both PDF3D SDK and PDF3D-ReportGen, have been using the power of PRC technology since they were first released four years ago. It's only now however that this new format can take CAD models and compress them with PRC to a much higher standard than users have ever seen. "Back in 2010, our team brought PRC into our products to give PDF conversion superior compression, over the commonly used U3D method. That same team are still active today and have been continuously innovating with PRC
