ModuleWorks has announced the latest release of its CAM components. April sees the release of the latest version of the ModuleWorks components, 2014.04, the first major update of 2014.  They continue to add a broad range of enhancements and this release includes new features for 5-Axis, MultiBlade and Simulation. ModuleWorks is at the forefront of 5-Axis machining and Simulation technology, providing the machining and simulation technology that powers many of the popular CAM systems available today. Highlights of the new release are shown below: 5-Axis Machining The 5-Axis component features a new advanced automatic tilting option to give the user more control over how the automatic tilt is applied. The user is able to specify which rotary axis and tilt is preferred and may also limit the tilting motion to maximum amount away from the original toolpath. Solid SWARF now provides adaptive feed rate control so that it may be reduced in certain critical situations.

 PDF Key takeaways: ANSYS’ acquisition of SpaceClaim, following a long and productive partnership, is a good strategic move This is a move to bring product geometry more fully into the early phases of concept selection and product ideation. We believe it is not a move by ANSYS to enter the CAD market SpaceClaim significantly improves ANSYS’ geometric modeling and manipulation capabilities and ability to productively leverage most 3D CAD geometry within the simulation and analysis environment ANSYS, the world’s largest provider of simulation and analysis software, has announced the acquisition of SpaceClaim Corp., a provider of direct modeling geometric design software, for $85 million in cash. This follows a long collaboration between the companies that includes integration of the SpaceClaim 3D direct modeling tools in the ANSYS environment. SpaceClaim provides ANSYS with geometry creation and editing technology that complements their multi-domain and multi-physics simulation offerings. With this acquisition, ANSYS will no longer have to maintain and
