GrabCAD Incorporated ("GrabCAD") has licensed Siemens’ Parasolid® software to provide 3D model interrogation, inspection and visualization within its Workbench application for cloud-based product data management (PDM). Developed by Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business, Parasolid is emerging as the component of choice for cloud-based solution providers who require a 3D geometric modeling kernel. This represents the third major Parasolid license agreement with cloud-based solution providers in the last nine months and the first license for a cloud-based PDM application.   “Siemens PLM Software has proven itself to be a diligent and progressive market leader, consistently delivering the right PLM component technology that is used by millions of end-users,” said Jon Stevenson, Vice President of Technology, GrabCAD. “Software vendors that deploy geometry based applications in the cloud need to be confident that the component technologies they select deliver reliable, long-term solutions with superior functionality and proven quality. Parasolid has shown strong

Luxion today announced that Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business has chosen Luxion’s KeyShot as its new rendering solution for Solid Edge® software, its mainstream computer-aided design (CAD) solution. KeyShot for Solid Edge, which will be bundled and licensed with the latest release of Solid Edge, Solid Edge ST7, will help  users quickly and easily create rich, 3D visuals. Solid Edge ST7 users will be able to experience KeyShot’s accurate materials, real world lighting and simple workflow for all their visualization needs. KeyShot for Solid Edge will replace the previously available rendering solution. Even though KeyShot for Solid Edge is bundled with Solid Edge ST7, both applications remain separate. This will allow users to continue to refine their designs, while images and animations are rendered in KeyShot. It is a unique approach that provides concurrent modeling and rendering  to deliver a more efficient workflow, saving time for designers, engineers and

Elysium Co. Ltd, has announced the release of ASFALIS EX6.0, a highly robust multi-CAD translation engine that enables customization and advanced functionality tailoring to several major manufacturers today. Enhancements to ASFALIS can be categorized in areas such as customization with translation, model comparison validation, overall improved performance and ASFALIS TransServer for enterprise-level processing. Mapping Entities with Translation In the interoperability industry today, 3D data translation has become a common capability. Elysium has advanced its suite to the next level to enable functionality meeting very detailed requirements, such as adding or removing components and mapping attribute information between different CAD formats. Elysium achieves this with its ENF (Elysium Neutral File) Editor. The robust flexibility with this tool enables smooth data sharing and streamlined processes when exchanging data. For example, users can map part numbers from the original design to part names into the translated model, or change tiny but important details, such as deleting

Edgecam Solid Machinist has reinforced its CAM-partner credentials by gaining 2015 certification from Autodesk Inventor – forming a relationship that gives the best in class CAD and CAM solution. Using the Edgecam add-in for Autodesk Inventor, the CAD model is sent to Edgecam Solid Machinist for feature finding and CAM application processes.  As Edgecam loads the Inventor model directly, without using a translator, there is no data loss. Any changes to the design model in Inventor are automatically flagged when loading an Edgecam part file, giving the option to accept or reject them. Accepting changes to the design model automatically regenerates features such as holes and pockets that were on the original model. Edgecam finds machineable features, such as pockets, bosses and holes in the Autodesk Inventor part, with a single click, extracting information relating to them. In addition, the CAD to toolpath associativity eliminates down time in the event of a
