TraceParts today announced its media collaboration with the Techniker-Forum (Engineers Forum). This will mean that more than 100 million 2D drawings and 3D CAD models for all current CAD systems will now be available to visitors from the Techniker-Forum for them to download for free. The CAD models are supplied from hundreds of catalogs from world-leading component manufacturers such as Binder, Bosch Rexroth, Euchner, Igus, Item, Phoenix Contact, Schaeffler Technologies (INA/FAG), RUD, and many more. The Techniker-Forum itself is one of the largest communities for nationally certified engineers in German-speaking countries. Its widely visited forums play host to lively discussions on the subjects of nationally certified engineers, training, degree courses and advanced training. There is also a job market and list of engineering colleges added to the services on offer. This is now further supplemented by one of the world’s most powerful CAD libraries. “The Techniker-Forum has more than 150,000 registered users and

InterGeo 2014 is set to be bigger than ever this year with over 16,000 visitors from 92 countries expected to attend in Berlin this October. With all eyes firmly set on the new developments within 3D, PDF3D, leaders in Geospatial PDF conversion reporting and collaboration software, will be revealing their latest GIS features to the professional audience with live demonstrations at the show. "We're excited to be exhibiting this year at InterGeo for many reasons", commented Ian Curington of PDF3D, "Not only do we have some exciting new features to showcase in V2.11 of PDF3D ReportGen, but we're also delighted to see our technology being used in other software being demonstrated at the show by partners Zoller + Frohlich, Carlson and Pix4D." Keeping the full details of V2.11 under wraps for now, Ian did give some clues as to what visitors to their stand can expect from this upcoming release: "3D PDF conversion is gaining

International TechneGroup Incorporated (ITI) was selected by the Product Innovation Congress to lead a think-tank discussion on PLM best practices on Wednesday, October 22, in San Diego, CA. ITI Executive Vice President of Product Lifecycle Management, Tom Makoski, is scheduled to lead “The Strategic Role of Legacy Data Migration in PLM Implementation” as part of the Product Innovation Congress’ Think Tank Series. Legacy data migration projects, within the context of large enterprise-wide PLM implementations, are often the cause of scheduling delays, cost overruns, and the dissemination of poor product data that cannot be reused or shared across the team or within the PLM applications. With more than a decade of PLM implementation experience across multiple verticals, Makoski will lead attendees through success strategies for on-time, on-budget implementations, risk and personnel management, and lessons learned. “We find that our clients often under estimate the work involved with legacy data migrations,” says Makoski. “This is a

Computer Simulation Technology AG (CST) will preview the upcoming version of its flagship electromagnetic simulation tool, CST STUDIO SUITE® 2015, at European Microwave Week (EuMW) 2014, booth 109. CST STUDIO SUITE is used by engineers and researchers working across the electromagnetic spectrum to model systems and optimize designs. Its tightly-integrated solvers cover a broad range of frequencies and geometrical scales, and are complemented by more specialized technology for applications such as PCBs, cables, thermal analysis, and charged particle devices. As devices become more compact and more connected, the old distinctions between different fields of engineering break down. Increasingly, even a single design task can involve multiple simulation disciplines. With CST STUDIO SUITE 2015, the links between the different simulation domains have been tightened and new tools have been added to allow users to go beyond what can be done with electromagnetic field simulation alone.   Synthesis and design tools supplement simulation by making

With workflow, collaboration and 3D GIS being the big themes at this year's InterGeo exhibition in Berlin this October, Carlson Software is keen to showcase their latest Carlson CADnet release to the civil engineering, survey and construction crowd. After successfully integrating the SDK toolkit from leading 3D PDF developers PDF3D, Carlson can now offer the ability to convert DWG file data within their CADnet program, into 2D and 3D PDFs. "Our new PDF engine means that CADnet users can share their drawings with anyone regardless of whether or not they have access to CAD software. Recipients can now easily view the drawings in PDF using the free Adobe Reader, which comes standard with most computers. From a workflow perspective, this greatly simplifies processes and communications between parties," explained Dave Carlson, VP of Development for Carlson Software. In addition to creating 3D PDFs, the new CADnet release includes the ability to import layers in PDF documents and

Delcam’s South Korean joint venture, Hankook Delcam, held its 25th User Group Conference at the Hyundai Hotel in Kyeong-Ju on 26th and 27th September.  The theme for this year’s meeting was ‘Big Jump Up’, a reference to the large increases in productivity being seen by companies adopting software and services from Hankook Delcam.  Over 1,300 attendees set a new record number for the event, reinforcing its position as the world’s largest meeting for CAM users. The meeting was the first major event to be held for Korean users since the acquisition of Delcam by Autodesk in February.  The audience was, therefore, especially interested in the presentations from Delcam President, Clive Martell, and Buzz Kross, senior vice president for Design, Lifecycle and Simulation products at Autodesk. Mr. Martell said that the acquisition represented Delcam’s own ‘Big Jump Up’.  "Autodesk brings to Delcam increased financial strength, unparalleled expertise in design, and a long history

Tekla and CSC, both Trimble companies, are combining their operations. As a result, UK-based CSC, acquired by Trimble in November 2013, will rebrand and operate under the name Tekla starting today. CSC's structural engineering design solutions further strengthen Trimble’s offerings for the construction industry and complement Tekla’s portfolio, which now cater to the full structural engineering workflow. “Development of CSC’s products will continue under the Tekla brand. Tekla offers investment capacity, technologies, industry expertise and support, which translate to even more innovative new products for structural engineering,” said Mr. Risto Räty,  Executive Vice President of Tekla and General Manager of Trimble Buildings’ Structures Division. Being committed to open BIM, Tekla develops products which support a large number of integrations of Building Information Modeling and Building and Structural Design solutions and also interface with fabrication machinery. Tekla’s product portfolio now addresses the entire design process from single member design to full design and detailing using models. “CSC has
