Ideate, Inc. today announced that it has partnered with Panzura, the provider of global locking file systems, to address the critical need for cross-site CAD/BIM (building information modeling) collaboration.  Trends within AEC have prompted the demand for sophisticated global locking file systems amongst architects, engineers, and construction companies. Teams within the industry are increasingly geographically dispersed and models have grown in size and complexity. New compliance mandates and regulations (as well as project owners) are requiring the use of highly evolved solutions such as BIM. In turn, the need for advanced data storage, sharing and management capabilities has grown in lockstep. Panzura’s Global Locking File System provides enterprise-class file services that also reduces storage costs, reduces the need for expensive MPLS networks, while increasing the security of the data. Regardless of the project size or scope, Panzura's global file system provides geographically distributed enterprises with a common view of files across all

Geometric Limited announced that through usage of its solids-based CNC programming solution, CAMWorks, Godrej’s Process Equipment Division (PED) has seen quantum improvements in machining processes. Godrej Process Equipment Division (PED), part of Godrej and Boyce Manufacturing Company, manufactures custom-built and critical equipment for the process industry. The company has embarked on a modernization drive to fulfill customer demands for faster deliveries, while improving process efficiency and quality. One of the key products that Godrej PED manufactures is pressure vessels. These gigantic equipments comprise of thick pressure vessel tanks that have multiple inlet and outlet nozzles. The main challenge lay in the accurate profiling of these nozzle-weld-profiles to fit the mating part so that the ensuing welding process would have a smoother transition. They, therefore, needed a tool that ensured consistency and repeatability. CAMWorks addressed this need, by using Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) to consistently define features and mapping them to an intelligent knowledge

Dassault Systèmes announced today that Barilla, the global leader in the pasta industry, chose its “Perfect Package” industry solution experience to improve the package labeling creation process across its worldwide organization. With “Perfect Package”’s artwork and labeling capability, Barilla has streamlined label design and approval, reduced artwork design time and improved regulatory compliance. In order to drastically reduce packaging development times and costs, Barilla needed to streamline the artwork and labeling creation process and provide all its stakeholders with secure, digital access to all the elements of the package including copy, logos and designs. Orchestrating the design of effective packaging across 1500 brands in 100 of countries is an extraordinarily complex process. It is a collective effort of various internal departments and external art agencies to ensure each of the thousands of packages sold by Barilla has the right copy, the right look and feel and adheres to consumer expectations and international regulations. “Five

The world is one step closer to more affordable and eco-friendly electric vehicles (EV) thanks to the efforts of ANSYS, General Motors LLC, the Energy Department's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and ESim, which are working to design better, safer and longer-lasting lithium-ion EV batteries. The team's efforts have led to the standard inclusion of battery models in the latest release of ANSYS® Fluent® software, which is a significant milestone in advancing EV design efficiency. Over the last two and half years, the team worked on a DOE-funded project, Computer-Aided Engineering for Electric Drive Vehicle Batteries (CAEBAT), to combine new and existing battery models into engineering simulation software to shorten design cycles and optimize batteries for increased performance, safety and lifespan. The team is modeling thermal management, electrochemistry, ion transport and fluid flow. As a result of the work, a battery model is now standard in ANSYSFluent, a leading computational fluid dynamics
