Trimble launched Tekla® Structural Designer, the latest addition to its portfolio of model-based solutions for the architectural, engineering and construction markets. Tekla Structural Designer provides an innovative approach to modeling by combining analysis and design into a single, seamless process. With sophisticated loading and analysis functionality, fully automated design, high-quality documentation and seamless Building Information Modeling (BIM) collaboration, Tekla Structural Designer allows engineers to more efficiently and cost effectively analyze and design multi-material buildings. Typically, engineers create multiple models for various aspects of a project, such as steel frame and concrete slab design, in separate tools, and then combine those by recreating a new building information model from scratch, wasting time and increasing the potential for errors during the construction process. Tekla Structural Designer eliminates the need to recreate a combined model by allowing engineers to work from the same analysis and design model throughout the entire process. Through powerful integration with

Advanced Design Technology (ADT) announces that its TURBOdesign Suite version 5.2.5 is now shipping. This version of the company’s three-dimensional (3D) inverse design technology software provides major improvements and enhancements to the Suite. Turbomachinery design engineers and original equipment manufacturers benefit from the 3D inverse design technology in ADT’s TURBOdesign Suite. TURBOdesign Suite is a unique aerodynamic and hydrodynamic 3D design software package that allows users to design, analyze and optimize all types of turbomachinery, such as axial, mixed-flow, or centrifugal pumps, compressors, fans, turbines and torque converters. Using the software, designers evaluate turbomachinery package size and performance predictions, perform detailed 3D blade design with 3D inverse design capabilities, analyze flow information per component, stage performances with turbomachinery specific 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and automate exploration of the design space with automatic optimization capabilities. "This latest release of TURBOdesign Suite builds on the strong fundaments of advanced 3D inverse design approach

ThingWorx, a PTC® business and leading Internet of Things (IoT) platform provider, announced today that SmartPatch, an Italian startup company that develops structural health monitoring solutions, has selected ThingWorx to view and understand the data from its connected, wireless applications.
