TransMagic, Inc., announces the release of MagicCheck R2, a 3D geometric data comparison application. MagicCheck R2 delivers new features including multi-body comparison, 3-point move positioning and dynamic dimensioning. MagicCheck's new assembly comparison and dimension features will allow suppliers to instantly find even the smallest model and assembly changes in new data sets.  This feature dramatically improves the accuracy of quoting based on 3D CAD data and allows companies to easily document changes to downstream processes such as NC toolpaths and QA inspection plans. The user experience is also enhanced with optimized model import performance, multi-core processing technology and dockable browser panes. Deployed at Neill Aircraft Company, Juan Castro, Systems Control Manager, states, “MagicCheck helped us immensely by concentrating the extraction and validation processes under one roof.” The MagicCheck R2 feature enhancements allow users greater control over 3D CAD data for more accurate and detailed comparison results.  The multi-body compare capability enables

Infolytica Corporation has released the newest versions of its simulation suite of software: MagNet, ElecNet, ThermNet and OptiNet. Specializing in electromagnetic and electric fields, Infolytica offers easy to use software solutions for engineers searching to reduce cost and obtain a better design. MagNet v7.5 can now predict the surface force density on a component, including cases where the component is touching others. MagNet can also support laminations and other types of material segmentations with the perfect electric insulator boundary condition. When using this new boundary condition on a surface, MagNet will stop current flow between touching conducting components. This approach is much quicker as it eliminates the need to mesh a very thin insulating sheet - a long process which increases the solution time drastically. After working with several power transformer designers and learning more about their simulation needs, Infolytica has developed an unmatched proprietary formulation of the nonlinear surface impedance approximation. In

Axium, a developer of accounting and project management software for A/E firms that is now part of Deltek, announced the introduction of Project Trek™, a collaboration and document sharing solution formerly known as ArchiTrek™. The cloud-based software tool was designed by architects to improve how A/E/C project teams work together to deliver successful projects. Project Trek will be demoed at the 2014 AIA conference in Chicago in booth numbers 3254 and 3255. “With the advent of sophisticated BIM software and integrated project delivery, the industry demanded a better way to collaborate, share documents and manage the design and construction process,” said Namita Dhallan, Deltek’s EVP of Product Strategy and Engineering. “We believe Project Trek addresses these challenges in a unique way because we tailored it specifically to the way A/E/C firms work today.” Project Trek promotes collaboration, document and construction management, and electronic bidding through a web platform that can be quickly

Delcam has launched the 2014 R3 version of its OrthoMODEL software for the design of custom orthotic insoles.  The new release includes the ability to display multiple 2D images and a 3D model simultaneously, and a range of improvements to the user interface to simplify workflow and reduce design times.  For further details, please go to lz.orthotics-cadcam.com OrthoMODEL offers "real-time design” of both accommodative orthotics, ideal for patients with diabetes and for those requiring comfort insoles, and corrective orthotics, to address problems with the patient’s foot orientation and gait cycle. The software has a direct interface to Delcam’s iQube range of scanners, all of which are able to scan the patient’s foot, foam boxes or casts.  As an open system, it can also import scan data from most other systems as well as create NC code for orthotics generated in other CAD systems The new version of OrthoMODEL represents a big leap forward

CSC has announced the next generation of its structural BIM integration software for Autodesk’s Revit 2015. Structural BIM Integration between CSC’s steel building design software, Fastrak, and concrete building design solution, Orion, with Autodesk’s Revit® is now a standard workflow for many Structural Engineers. This latest release aligns CSC’s design products even further with the recent release of Revit® Structure 2015. CSC’s Integrator provides enhanced levels of integration, synchronising full or part models between the engineer and Revit modeller, with the ability to manage the entire process including: added, deleted and modified members and their associated design data. “CSC’s Integrator has become an important part of our design process” stated Ian Walker, Partner at Billinghurst George & Partners. “The ability to synchronise and share models between Fastrak and Revit has proven invaluable to help us maximise BIM in our organisation, leading to an increase in productivity.”  Fastrak & Revit models used in the design of St

Lectra recently hosted a seminar for upholstered furniture professionals at its Bordeaux-Cestas campus in France. Structured around the theme “24 hours”, the seminar brought together over 50 participants from 13 countries. Throughout the event, which centered on following, in real time, the upholstery manufacturing process for an armchair, from initial design sketch to production of the finalized cut parts, guests were encouraged to share their experiences and best practices on investing in new technology and the benefits it brings to their manufacturing processes. The seminar was organized into three sections: Styling and Costing; Product Development and Industrialization; and Production of Cut Parts. The 24-hour countdown began with an overview of the latest trends in furniture design given by Stanislas Joly from Sylvain Joly Design (France). With the help of a 3D, collaborative worktable provided by Immersion, CAD engineers used the 2D/3D DesignConcept Furniture solution to demonstrate the time and cost-saving advantages of virtual prototypes
