Rand Worldwide announced that its IMAGINiT Technologies division today released its new Scan to BIM 2014.1 software. New features such as Section Box Tool, Create from CAD Tool and Quality Assurance Tool enhance the point cloud functionality within Autodesk® Revit®. Scan to BIM 2014.1 is available via a new short-term rental option that makes it accessible to any mechanical engineer, architect, scanning provider and plant designer whose projects could benefit from working with point clouds directly in Revit. “Our customers enjoy the business benefits of Scan to BIM, but several firms mentioned that they only needed Scan to BIM for certain projects,” says Tim Johnson, senior vice president, IMAGINiT Technologies. “Based on this feedback, we developed a new rental option that allows organizations to experience the full power of Scan to BIM without incurring the cost of a traditional perpetual license. Coupled with new features that enhance modeling productivity, we think this update will be the most

ESI Group announces the latest release of Virtual Performance Solution. Delivering faster results in crash simulation, the new version also offers new approaches for modeling product assembly, for assessing Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH), and for predicting airbag opening behavior more accurately. Virtual Performance Solution brings industrial clients a decisive competitive advantage, especially when facing the numerous challenges brought by lightweight engineering and the consequent need for numerous design iterations, trade-offs between performance domains, and less conservative safety margins. Virtual Performance Solution provides automotive manufacturers with a viable solution to improve passenger safety without slowing down new car developments. As exemplified by the Vehicle Safety Simulation department at Audi, real prototypes can be drastically reduced or eliminated completely. Using a common core model for their simulations, engineering teams from various departments and from different geographical sites can collaborate efficiently towards the creation of virtual prototypes that can be used to predict the future behavior of parts or products in all domains
