"With this milestone, we once again show that Vectorworks is a leading-edge BIM solution for architectural design and documentation,” said Robert Anderson, vice president of integrated practice at Nemetschek Vectorworks. “We continually strive to be in 'the front of the pack' when it comes to open-standards interoperability, given the building popularity of IFC and its increasing presence in practical, real-world solutions for all the stakeholders in the

Delcam has launched the 2014 release of its Delcam for SolidWorks integrated CAM system, the first version to include the Vortex strategy for area clearance.  The software also includes a number of new options for turning, four-axis rotary machining and turn-mill operations, plus more strategies for two-axis finishing.  Full details on the new release and videos of the new functionality are on    www.delcam.tv/dfs2014/lz. Vortex ( www.vortexmachining.com), for which Delcam has a patent pending, has been developed specifically to gain the most efficient material removal from solid carbide tooling, in particular those designs that can give deeper cuts by using the full flute length as the cutting surface.  It can be used for two- and three-axis roughing, three-plus-two-axis area clearance and for rest machining based on stock models or reference toolpaths. Unlike other high-speed roughing techniques that aim to maintain a constant theoretical metal-removal rate, the Vortex strategy produces toolpaths with a controlled engagement

CIMdata’s 2013 Simulation & Analysis Workshop As companies continue the move towards total digital product development, making more and more decisions without physical testing, their ability to achieve reliable simulation of product performance becomes a crucial asset and competitive differentiator. Driving simulation up front in the development process brings issues in multi-discipline systems engineering, requiring collaboration and a view across domains like mechanical design, electrical, software, and controls. Simulation has long been used as an analog of physical testing, to assess and validate the performance of completed designs. That aspect remains extremely important. However, following the incredible advances in computer hardware and software over the past five decades, simulation can now be applied earlier and earlier in the product development process impacting not only the product itself, but also product concepts and architecture. This is engineering on the left side of the systems engineering “Vee”. Since detail design of components for manufacturing
