PTC® today announced that researchers at the University of Tokyo, Graduate School of Medicine, pioneers in the development of artificial hearts, are using PTC Creo® design software for the development of a Total Artificial Heart. The renowned institution has been involved in artificial heart research since 1959, and has been performing successful experimentation with animals since 1970. The advanced 3D modelling capabilities provided by PTC Creo are a key component in the research team’s goal to develop a fully implantable Total Artificial Heart by 2016. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that heart failure affects more than 20 million people worldwide with an additional two million new cases diagnosed annually. Approximately 5,000 heart transplants are performed worldwide each year. The average wait time for a heart transplant in Japan is reported to be 981 days. The increase in heart disease as well as the critical shortage of donor hearts is a driving force

PTC today announced the PTC Systems Engineering Solution, purpose-built to help organizations reduce risk and accelerate innovation in an increasingly smart, connected world. The solution provides a comprehensive systems engineering platform to help organizations design more innovative products, engineer more profitable product lines, and validate that products meet functional and quality requirements. The coming decade is expected to witness a surge in the growth of smart, connected products with billions of connected devices in use by both businesses and consumers. But while smart, connected products define the future of manufacturing, they are intrinsically more complex to design, build and operate. As a result, many organizations struggle to deliver the functionality, quality and performance that the market demands. The PTC Systems Engineering Solution provides a complete systems engineering platform to enable rapid exploration and accelerated design and delivery of more successful products. It combines the strengths of the PTC Integrity™ family of Application Lifecycle

Theorem Solutions are pleased to announce the latest functionality enhancement to their popular CATIA V5 to PTC Creo View Adapter with the release of their JT output add-on module. This latest additional module helps those users needing to output CATIA V5 data into both the PTC Creo View and Siemens JT Teamcenter Visualization formats using a single application, ensuring the native design data is accessible by a wider audience. The main benefits to users of Theorem’s adapter module is reduced cost of ownership using a single data visualization product compared to managing two, plus the optional module helps to improve processing time of CATIA V5 data to generate both output formats from a single pass of the data. Theorem’s JT add-on module for CATIA V5 to Creo View adapter, provides a fast and effective method of translating CATIA V5 assemblies, parts and drawings into the PTC Creo View and Siemens JT Teamcenter
