AVEVA today announced that EMS-CHEMIE has moved to the new AVEVA Everything3D (AVEVA E3D) software for the design of its chemical facilities. The EMS-SERVICES business unit of EMS-CHEMIE has successfully used AVEVA PDMS since 2004. Now it will benefit from the advanced functionality and improved design efficiency provided by AVEVA E3D; for example, the integrated drawing production that is exceptionally easy to use and produces deliverables much more quickly. This was just one of the drivers behind EMS-CHEMIE’s decision to move to the next-generation AVEVA design software. "We switched over right in the middle of an ongoing project,” said Marco Derungs, AVEVA E3D Administrator, EMS-SERVICES. “Thanks to its intuitive functionality, AVEVA E3D can be mastered quickly and the migration to productive operation took place rapidly. This smooth transition was due to the fact that AVEVA E3D and AVEVA PDMS are fully compatible and can be used simultaneously across the same project.” "The

An agreement-in-principle has been reached between Altair and EMSS, pursuant to which Altair will acquire 100 percent of EM Software & Systems – S.A. (Pty) Ltd and its international distributor offices in the United States, Germany, and China.  The agreement is expected to close early in 2014. Altair is a global leader in the solver market, offering OptiStruct®, RADIOSS®, MotionSolve®, and AcuSolve® within the HyperWorks suite of engineering simulation software.  The addition of EMSS' comprehensive electromagnetic solver FEKO® will enhance the capabilities of the Altair offering, enabling further solver functionality for customers, particularly in the aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding industries. "This agreement reflects Altair's resolve to continue to bring world-class technology to our customers, and demonstrates our long-term objective of organic growth, with strategic partnerships and acquisitions where it makes sense.  We are very pleased to integrate EMSS into the Altair family given its cutting-edge technology and knowledge of the electromagnetic (EM)

Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. this week introduced its “SolidWorks - Kinematics Tutorial,” an introductory course teaching SolidWorks' palette of tools for modeling motion with load-bearing models. SolidWorks is a computer aided design program that uses a parametric, feature-based assembly system for building mechanical models. By learning the kinematics tool palette, users can master SolidWorks’ capabilities for analyzing load and motion dynamics in mechanical models. Infinite Skills’ SolidWorks - Kinematics Video Training provides a focused training guide to allow experienced SolidWorks users to begin using these powerful features in a matter of hours. Course author Matt Perez is a certified expert in SolidWorks who has worked in training and private training consulting, helping companies develop strategies to improve efficiency in using SolidWorks since 2011. A SolidWorks user since 2009, Perez has been recently recognized by SolidWorks for a tutorial that focused on designing a Chevrolet Camaro. After a brief introduction to the kinematics

MSC Software Corporation, today announced the new release of MSC Nastran 2013.1, augmenting the groundbreaking capabilities like solver embedded fatigue, optimization for fatigue life and poroelastic material modeling introduced in the previous 2013 release. The new capabilities in 2013.1 provide engineers with faster performance for large models, ease of use, and nonlinear analysis improvements. ACMS Improvements for Faster Simulation Run Times Automated Component Mode Synthesis (ACMS) in MSC Nastran has shown performance improvements over the past several releases to enable users to perform modal analysis of large models. The new release delivers further speed enhancements with 10% to 30% time reductions in the ACMS portion of large scale simulations reducing the time and cost of modal and automotive NVH simulations. In particular, overall run times dominated by I/O are mostly impacted. Axisymmetric Rotordynamics for Improved Accuracy Gas turbine and aircraft engine manufacturers can achieve more accurate prediction of the rotordynamic performance of structures with rotating components

Cimatron Limited today announced the results of its 2013 North America Tool Shop Benchmark Survey. "One of the first studies of its kind, Cimatron's 2013 North America Tool Shop Benchmark Survey highlights the performance levels and challenges faced by tool shops as they seek to ensure their success in an increasingly competitive marketplace," said Mr Bill Gibbs, Cimatron's President North America. The survey reveals that while almost three-quarters of tool shops (73%) plan to hire additional employees in the coming year, over half of the respondents identified finding qualified workers as the top challenge they face. "Cimatron continues to invest in simplifying our CAD/CAM software and in driving automation to promote tool shop standardization," said Mr Gibbs. "This assists shops in making the assimilation and training of new staff easier." Additional key survey findings include: Healthy industry growth: Half the shops surveyed saw an increase in the number of quotes they issued in the past year,

SPRING Technologies, vendor of solutions to enhance the productivity of NC machines, held the 5th edition of its Users Club on November 7, drawing over 100 participants: a resounding success for SPRING and its customers. The annual meeting of the NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS user community is now an eagerly awaited highlight on the calendar for machining specialists, and a special opportunity for SPRING to meet its customers and discuss their plans. CUST 2013 had the honor of welcoming its guests at the Aerospace Museum in Le Bourget on the edge of Paris, at an event supported by the Pôle ASTECH technology cluster. SPRING Technologies this year invited Dassault Aviation, Eurocopter and UF1 to give their feedback on the solutions in the SPRING portfolio and on the resulting benefits, supported by hard figures and ROI, giving insights into how these businesses are addressing the industrial issues of today and using innovation to win the

CNC Software, Inc., producer of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, announces the 2014 Mastercam Innovator of the Future (IOF) national competition. This competition entices students and young adults with a real-world manufacturing challenge, celebrity judge, and a chance to win a $1,000 scholarship and a trip to the Kennedy Space Center. The competition provides instructors with a powerful motivational tool to get students excited about learning CAD/CAM and the manufacturing process. The Challenge For the 2014 competition, students are challenged to modify and machine an optic mirror design. They have two options for making the mirror: modifying the supplied part file to reduce the weight but maintain the structural integrity, or get creative with the part file using an area of the mirror to express themselves. The Celebrity Judge The 2014 IOF competition will be judged by a team of experts at Optimax. Optimax, founded in 1991 and located in Ontario, NY, builds the optics behind the latest breakthrough technologies
