Intergraph has announced the release of its Intergraph FreeView® application that lets users of Intergraph CADWorx Design create, publish, and share intelligent AutoCAD®-based CADWorx Plant models for viewing on an Apple® iPad®. Rick Allen, president, Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis Solutions, made the announcement during his keynote address to over two-hundred (200) attendees at CADWorx Analysis University 2014 (CAU2014) taking place at HxGN LIVE in Las Vegas, June 2 - 5, 2014.  Intergraph FreeView is free of charge, and allows for truly portable review and collaboration by letting iPad users access the intelligent information contained in their published models. Intuitive tools let users modify views by isolating sections of the model based on line numbers and component type, as well as easily hide or adjust the transparency of individual or groups of components. The three-finger view selection makes easy work of changing between various plan, elevation, and isometric views. With a simple finger-tap selection, users

EditNC version 10.2.1 offers a great number of new features, like the new extract program file function that splits a file into multiple files, each containing a single program segment. The new merge program function quickly locates missing sub programs and merges files. The backplotter supports G65 and G66 macro calls, variables, macro

Bluebeam® Software announced that they are working together with Citrix to give Citrix ShareFile® full integration with Bluebeam Revu® for iPad, enabling mobile professionals to more easily access, manage and share project files digitally. ShareFile is a popular cloud storage service within architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) and other document-intensive industries, for which Bluebeam is the leading developer of PDF-based markup, measurement and collaboration solutions. Traditionally, AEC, oil and gas, manufacturing and other technical professionals have been faced with the challenge of managing huge sets of large format printed documents and drawings. On larger projects, sheets of paper can total in the hundreds or thousands—and when revisions are made, multiple copies of revised document sets must be generated and distributed to all project stakeholders. Transporting paper copies from the office to the field and back again adds time to demanding schedules. With most project teams pushed to do more in less time and under budget,

Altium Limited introduced WEBENCH® Altium Connector, a collaborative effort between Altium and Texas Instruments (TI) to blend TI’s award-winning WEBENCH power design and simulation tools with Altium’s leading EDA tool suite Altium Designer. This powerful platform provides design engineers with the first end-to-end analog circuit design and simulation environment, including everything from creating the power supply and simulating the complete circuit to creating the printed circuit board (PCB) layout. The new WEBENCH® Altium Connector is a seamless interface between Altium Designer and TI’s online WEBENCH® Power Designer. By downloading WEBENCH® Altium Connector, design engineers are able to create a custom WEBENCH power supply from within the Altium Designer platform. The power supply design can be easily created in WEBENCH, and exported and simulated offline inside Altium Designer, giving engineers the opportunity to further customize and integrate the design into a larger circuit. The offline WEBENCH simulation engine can be used to simulate any

OPEN MIND Technologies AG is presenting for the first time at Manufacturing Surabaya (11 to 14 June 2014 in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia). OPEN MIND will introduce the CAM solution hyperMILL® Version 2014.1 at their local distributor’s stand – PT Jaya Metal Teknika. The CAM system hyperMILL® is the ideal link between design and manufacturing. Its machining strategies comprehensively exhaust the possibilities of modern machining centres. OPEN MIND will present a visualisation solution with the new hyperMILL® ShopViewer in Surabaya. Manufacturing processes can be checked and simulated next to the milling centre on the monitor. hyperMILL® ShopViewer noticeably improves the traceability of the manufacturing process with display, analysis and documentation of processed CAD/CAM data in the workshop. Optimized CAD for CAM users There are more new features in hyperCAD®-S, the CAD section of the CAM Suite: The "deformation" module for the targeted deformation of geometries is a powerful modification tool. It allows the global or local modification of component areas, which

Delcam will launch the 2015 version of its PowerMILL CAM system for high-speed and five-axis machining at IMTS 2014 in Chicago from 8th to 13th September on booth E3222, the largest CAM software booth at the show.  The new release will include improvements to the Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy, improved collision checking to also cover near misses, and more efficient raster finishing. For more information on PowerMILL, please go to www.powermill.com The Vortex area-clearance strategy produces safe toolpaths with a much deeper cut by using a controlled engagement angle that maintains the optimum cutting conditions for the whole toolpath.  As a result, higher feed rates and material-removal rates are possible, making the cutting time shorter by as much as 70%.  In addition, cutting is undertaken at a more consistent volume-removal rate and at a near constant feedrate, so extending tool life and protecting the machine.  Two enhancements in PowerMILL 2015 will give even greater
