ICAM Technologies Corporation announces that it will launch *Integrated PSE V21, the latest version of its integrated Post-processing, Simulation & Emulation software, at IMTS 2014 (Booth: E-3217). Inside a single software platform, Integrated PSE provides a unique environment for Post-processing, Simulation and Emulation (for G-Code) that interfaces with the most popular CAD/CAM/PLM systems, CNC controllers and machine tools on the market. Integrated PSE V21 features SmartPATH(TM), patent pending software created to optimize positioning tool paths during post-processing and simulation. SmartPATH provides savings both in CNC run-time positioning and in CAD/CAM tool path preparation. Rapid positioning motions generated by CAD/CAM software do not take into account machine tool kinematics, work piece setup and travel limitations and therefore, place the burden of responsibility for safe and efficient positioning onto the NC programmer. SmartPATH identifies inefficient and unsafe positioning motions and automatically replaces them with optimized collision-free safe motions based on the actual machine tool kinematics, physical

The exciting new functionality in Edgecam 2014 R2, which begins to show how Workflow will become the default method for using the game-changing software, will be highlighted at North America’s largest manufacturing technology exhibition – IMTS, from September 8 to 13. Part of the Vero Software Group, Edgecam Workflow’s unparalleled ease-of-use and sophisticated toolpath generation provides a one-stop solution for milling, turning and mill-turn machining. It is specifically designed for manufacturers to reduce costs, improve quality and achieve shorter lead times. Because the system understands the component topology and the required manufacturing environment, toolpath generation is accelerated. Edgecam Workflow has a significant impact on shortening programming time, and because it is simple to operate the learning curve for new users is considerably reduced. Visitors to the Vero booth – E-3114 at the McCormick Place complex in Chicago – will see for themselves that Edgecam Workflow represents a significant change in the way that

United Technologies Corp. has executed a licensing agreement with CGTech, a specialist in computer numerical control (CNC) simulation software for manufacturing, that will help improve productivity for machining equipment operators. The agreement allows CGTech to integrate UTC's PromptFMTM machining process optimization technology within CGTech's VERICUT cutting process simulation software. PromptFM, developed by UTC, is a physics- and mathematics-based modeling software designed to optimize machining rates for machined parts within aerospace, automotive, industrial and other markets that utilize automated machining. PromptFM seeks to determine the optimum speeds for a cutting process and make the CNC machine cut in the most efficient, fast and reliable way, based on the type of material being cut. The software was created by UTC specifically to be compatible with VERICUT, which is used throughout the CNC machining industry to simulate the cutting process to detect errors, potential collisions or areas of inefficiency. The licensing agreement will enable the development of

Microsol Resources Corporation is pleased to announce the addition of Asite to its growing association of Technology Partners.

The Adoddle platform is used by leading architecture, engineering, construction firms as well as property owners worldwide to manage their largest and most demanding capital investment programs. “We are thrilled to be able to partner with Asite to provide our customers with a superb product for project information, data management and collaboration”, said Emilio Krausz, President of Microsol Resources. “Our customers have been

Following the acquisition of CSC by Trimble in November 2013, CSC is merging with Tekla in early October. As part of the Trimble family, both CSC and Tekla deliver innovative engineering software covering analysis, design and Building Information Modelling. This combined offering of CSC and Tekla products enables them to provide a fuller and more rounded portfolio of products and services. CSC will benefit from Tekla's investment capacity, technologies, industry expertise and support to bring you even more innovative products. CSC customers will still deal with the same CSC colleagues as before but they will soon be introducing themselves as representing Tekla. Merging CSC with Tekla will make Tekla a much stronger company for customers in the engineering market, and both CSC and Tekla customers will now benefit from a fuller and more rounded portfolio of products and services. As with any merger of two international companies there are many changes to

The CD-adapco Global Academic Program congratulates Alex Haldane for winning the CD-adapco Academic STAR Simulation Contest! Alex’s submission, STAR-CCM+ LES Simulation of Poppet Valve Using Morphing Mesh and Dynamic Remeshing, was chosen from a number of videos submitted by academics from all around the world.  Alex recently finished his third year of the four year Mechanical Engineering MEng course at the University of Warwick in the UK. As top prize winner, Alex’s video will be featured on the main page of the CD-adapco website along with winning an iPad Mini and a CD-adapco Global Academic Program T-shirt.  Alex’s project compared the performance of a recently patented helical valve to a conventional valve with CFD using the LES turbulence Model. The two cases used STAR-CCM+ as the CFD package and had a combined run time of 240 hours on a Linux cluster. The Large Eddy Simulation model was chosen due to LES having a

ZWCAD Design, today unveiled ZWCAD+ 2015 Beta. This latest version brings many new features, including Super Hatch, Reference Manager, Google Earth Support and many more. Google Earth ZWCAD+ 2015, with Google Earth integrated, now can directly import graphic snapshots from Google Earth. This enables designer to review final results in real map, guarantees precision and accuracy of design and allows users to experience and improve their projects even before they are built. Time-saving Tools With two newly added time-saving features- Reference Manager and Super Hatch, CAD design can be less difficult and more efficient. Reference Manager helps you efficiently manage all external references with ease. Meanwhile, Super Hatch extends traditional Hatch function by enabling hatching with block, reference and image etc. Sweep and Loft The newly added 3D features Sweep and Loft add up to a more complete 2D-to-3D design workflow for ZWCAD+. Simply by drafting a cross section, and clicking the Sweep and Loft
