Viewpoint Construction Software announced that Synchro Software, Ltd. has joined Viewpoint’s Market Partner Program to offer building and construction markets a solution that unites the latest BIM model data with CPM scheduling and 4D visual project management capabilities. Using building information models, Synchro Software affords the entire delivery team the ability to see, validate and verify the sequence of activities that need to happen during project execution. When used in conjunction with Viewpoint’s BIM Manager, which uses IFC enabled Common Data Environments to deliver the most current view of project data, project activities are easily identified and coordinated providing a “dress rehearsal” of building the project before ground is even broken. This capability leads to greater quality control during project execution, and consistently provides improved productivity and cost and resource management. Both Viewpoint and Synchro Software work with OpenBIM standards; the benefits achieved by using the solutions together further demonstrates that reliable and comprehensive

Safe Software announced that the latest version of its core technology, FME 2015, is now available in both FME Desktop and FME Server. Developments aim to help users easily move their data where it needs to be and keep up with technology that is constantly evolving, not only with tools that enable them to use more data in more ways, but with enhanced usability features that allow them to work with FME more efficiently and focus on getting the most from their data. New Capabilities with BIM Data FME 2015 has taken steps forward with its support for BIM data including new IFC writing capabilities that allow models to be created by combining other formats like GIS. The new release also offers enhancements that enable smoother reading of BIM data from IFC, Autodesk Revit® and Trimble SketchUp®. "Over the past few years, requests from our customers surrounding BIM data have been popping up

Delcam’s stand at the Fornitore Offresi exhibition to be held in Erba, north of Milan, from 5th to 7th February, will highlight the company’s recent developments in feature-based CAM programming and in machining with robots.  The latest versions of the PowerSHAPE Pro CAD program for design and reverse engineering, and the PowerINSPECT inspection software will also be on show. In the 2015 release of the FeatureCAM feature-based CAM system, programming of complex parts has been made easier and more reliable with the addition of automatic collision checking of the tool shank and holder, as well as the cutter, for both three-axis roughing and finishing toolpaths.  The user has the choice of either stopping the simulation immediately when a gouge is detected or of running the complete toolpath with any gouges being highlighted on the model as they are detected.  The toolpath can then be recalculated with any segments that will cause

Fidesys LLC, announced that its SimulationForDesign (www.sim4design.com) website has been launched. It will operate in Beta mode until 31 March, 2015 and during this period customers will benefit from reduced rates.  The website focuses on the needs of non-simulation specialists to enable designers without simulation background to reliably evaluate structural performance of design alternatives and make performance based design decisions early in the development cycle. SimulationForDesign enables its users to better understand structural performance (displacements and stresses) of their designs allowing them to evaluate the impact of design changes and to make smarter design decisions based on product performance. SimForDesign is not aiming to replace Analyst’s CAE tool for final design validation but is intended to support the early design phases and its associated decisions.  It allows any organization to make structural analysis an integral part of the design process for parts and small assemblies by removing the complexities and mystery
