Trending at CIMdata

One of Canada’s largest and most diverse colleges, Toronto’s George Brown College, chose Christie’s visualization solutions for its Building Information Modeling (BIM) Lab in the Centre for Construction and Engineering Technologies (CCET), at the Casa Loma campus. Students, industry professionals and business partners can use the BIM Lab to create digital 3D models and view them on a custom Christie-designed display solution, powered by three 120Hz stereoscopic 3D DLP® Christie Mirage WU7K-M projectors. The new immersive simulation space supports the College’s mission for continued innovation, enhanced practical and theoretical teaching and learning, as well as staying ahead of trends and technology in the construction industry. BIM is a global term referring to a technology process where collaboration and knowledge sharing takes place, but when the creation of a simulated virtual reality exists, stakeholders can visualize facilities, operational issues, designs and construction. George Brown College understands that using the latest technology can facilitate learning and prepare their students for the future. Clint Kissoon,

  A CIMdata Systems Engineering Knowledge Council Workshop   Proceedings Morning Sessions - Tuesday, June 24, 2014 8:00 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. | Registration and Continental Breakfast 8:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. | Welcome and Introduction [View Presentation] John MacKrell, Vice President, Systems Engineering Knowledge Council Lead, CIMdata [Bio] 9:00 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. | The Critical Role of MBSE in Getting from Idea to "Show Me it Works" - Fast! [View Presentation] Matthew Loew, Technical Director, Maverick Innovation Lab [Bio] Using a Model-Based and collaborative approach was key to realizing success on an aggressive systems engineering development project. This presentation will provide an overview of the approach taken to develop the hydraulics and control systems for an innovative automated drilling rig machine. Prior efforts had started without system-level models being developed, critical customer requirements were not captured well, and machine performance could not be simulated or visualized. While it was understood that a systems engineering approach was critical to ensuring that requirements could
