Lectra is pleased to announce that Starr Aircraft has chosen Lectra’s latest automated cutting technology and expertise to boost their production capabilities. Starr Aircraft has been a leading manufacturer of aircraft products for the global commercial aviation sector for more than 30 years; their product portfolio includes interior upholstery, curtains, carpet, and fire block fabricated goods. The combination of Starr Aircraft’s textile industry experience and their use of the latest technological developments allows them to manufacture customized parts with the speed and efficiency of a mass production process. “Recently, we have seen an increasing number of customers move to leather seating. In order to meet this rise in demand, we needed a solution that would double our capacity and allow room for continued growth, all without expanding our operational hours,” explains Tim DeWitt, Director of Product Sales and Development at Starr Aircraft. To help Starr Aircraft reach their production goals, Lectra has set

Shanghai Koito Automotive Lamp Co., Ltd., has selected Sigmetrix CETOL 6 Sigma tolerance analysis solution as an integral part of its robust design and quality production initiative. This program is committed to meeting the requirements of their customers. Shanghai Koito Automotive Lamp Co., Ltd. chose CETOL 6 Sigma and also entrusted the 3D tolerance analysis team of Cybernet China to work on a few projects. After several tolerance analysis projects were completed they could see the results from CETOL 6 Sigma were accurate and verified the resulting data in practice. Sigmetrix, LLC developed the seamless CAD integrated software CETOL 6 Sigma which helps the product design engineers at Shanghai Koito to improve and manage the quality level of the lamp assemblies with efficiency. “CETOL 6 Sigma can be seamlessly integrated with CATIA and simulate the real world assembly environment. For assemblies of automobile lamps, the effect of RPS errors, welding deviations and

ANSYS announced today that Fujitsu Limited is using its power noise and reliability solutions to create three-dimensional integrated circuits to meet performance requirements for next-generation high-performance central processing units. These chips leverage three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D-IC) architecture to gain power, performance and price advantages, but the configuration increases the design complexity and the challenges associated with power and thermal management. ANSYS®RedHawk™ and ANSYS®Sentinel™ provide Fujitsu with the ability to perform IR (voltage) drop, electromigration (EM) and thermal reliability analysis of its large processor designs by delivering full-chip capacity, fast turnaround time and production-proven sign-off accuracy. Finding the optimal floor plan for 3D-IC requires placement of through-silicon-via (TSV), as well as the power/ground network. This added complexity necessitates early-stage floor planning, analysis and debugging, as power and thermal issues become difficult to resolve later in the design process. Using RedHawk, Fujitsu can explore various TSV placement options to meet chips' power noise and reliability

CIMdata consults with many end-user clients on their PLM and simulation strategies which, of course, turn out to be all about data management and process. In spite of clients having spent millions of dollars on solutions, it is incredible that when we bore down with the question about "How does collaboration and data sharing really happen?" the clients invariably get this sheepish look, stare down at their shoes, and mumble "shared drive." It is amazing how much organizations rely on local network shared drives, and how out of control they are.  I am reminded of "The Tragedy of the Commons," which is about how shared resources can be exploited and destroyed for perceived individual benefit at the expense of the common good1. I am surprised that there seems to be no available solution to what I call "The Shared Drive Problem." A decade ago (at GM) I wrote my requirements for a Simulation

Tech Soft 3D  announces the release of HOOPS Visualize 2015, with capabilities that make it easier than ever to add high-performance, interactive 3D visualization to desktop and mobile applications. The industry-leading toolkit currently powers advanced graphics in hundreds of engineering applications around the globe. HOOPS Visualize 2015 leverages the latest 3D GPU capabilities available on current graphics processors, giving developers the tools to provide the best possible rendering and selection performance. A tighter connection with the HOOPS Exchange toolkit enables applications to load files from over 20 formats faster than any other solution on the market as well as support CATIA drawings. New functionality also enables comprehensive interaction with and querying of rich CAD data through a reference model browser. “The range of HOOPS Visualize’s features and component integrations continue to expand, which further solidifies its position as the leading engineering visualization toolkit,” says Robert Mazeffa, Director of HOOPS Visualize Product Development. “Developers can

Delcam has added a new ‘putty’ tool to the 2015 release of its ArtCAM Pro CADCAM software for artistic applications, allowing even more complex 3D shapes to be created with the program.  In addition, many of the modelling options, including the new tool, now show the results of changes in real time. Unlike most other CADCAM systems, ArtCAM Pro is aimed at skilled artisans rather than engineers and requires little knowledge of engineering or computing.  It has been particularly successful in the signmaking, woodworking and engraving industries.  In these areas and in other artistic applications, ArtCAM Pro allows users to increase productivity, improve quality and deliver new designs more quickly, by combining their craft skills and creativity with the power and precision of computer-aided manufacturing. The main development for ArtCAM Pro 2015 is the new putty tool for modelling.  This allows models to be edited by picking an area to be moved,
