By Bruce Jenkins, President, Ora Research LLC LMS Imagine.Lab 14, the latest release of Siemens PLM’s software for multi-domain system simulation, shows the company delivering on the vision it outlined when it acquired LMS International in 2012—“to provide a closed-loop systems-driven product development solution.” Siemens PLM CEO Chuck Grindstaff said at the time, “Integrating the […]
Siemens Rolls out Tecnomatix 12
Factories today hardly resemble the factories of yesteryear. Today’s factories are full of high-tech digital machinery and robotics that are highly automated. To make today’s digital factories run more efficiency, manufacturing software also needs to advanced. Siemens this week released the newest version of Tecnomatix software for digital manufacturing, which the company says will help […]
Siemens Releases NX 10 Software
The latest version of Siemens’ NX software has been released, touting among many things increased design flexibility and up to 3X higher productivity for users. New tools, such as the 2D concept development solution, make it easier and faster to create designs, while enhancements to NX Realize Shape software, a fully integrated sub-division modelling environment, […]
Siemens Forms Partnership to Help Customers Automate Engineer-to-Order Processes
Manufacturers are under the gun increasingly today to develop more customized products for customers. Also referred to as “mass customization,” creating products with specific functionality for special niches of customers is at odds with traditional mass production methods that have been in place for years. In order to respond, companies must adapt and change both […]
Siemens NX Helps University Design Better Soccer Players
With all the excitement at full tilt with the 2014 FIFA World Cup underway in Brazil, the whole world seems to have gone soccer-crazy, with many people hitting local fields to practice their own ball-handling skills. At Graz University of Technology in Austria, that includes robots. The university is designing and building robots to be […]
Siemens Introduces Solid Edge ST7
Amid the palpable excitement of its most ardent users, Siemens introduced the latest release of its flagship software, Solid Edge ST7 at this year’s Solid Edge University in Atlanta, Georgia. It’s no wonder the crowd of users was excited; this new release is packed with a staggering 1,300 user-requested enhancements. The goal of the new […]
Geometric Ships CAMWorks 2014 for Solid Edge
Innovation is today’s CAD products is somewhat expected by users who constantly demand the next level of functionality. After all, designers and engineers are using modern CAD tools to design the next great product, or at least the next great version of a product. The same cannot necessarily be said on the CAM side, where […]
Siemens Offers NX Nastran FEA Software in the Cloud
Many engineering software providers are porting their software to the cloud as an option for users. Benefits of cloud deployments of engineering software include lower costs, faster deployment, lower maintenance costs and increased scalability. Simulation software, in particular, benefits from being implemented through the cloud. Simulation software has been traditionally very expensive and requires significant […]
The Role of Associativity in Direct Modeling
When designers and engineers think about design associativity, they often think about history-based 3D modeling systems. CAD software that deploys a history-based approach to modeling requires engineers to anticipate and define feature constraints, relations and dependencies, which ensures that any design change will update all related downstream geometry. That’s design associativity. Though they require a […]
7 New Year’s Resolutions for CAD Users
As we approach year’s end and begin looking towards a brand-spanking new year, many of us will make New Year’s resolutions. These are often health-related (eat less, exercise more, drop a few pounds, quit an unhealthy habit or two) or family-related (yell at my kids less, be more considerate of my significant other, walk the […]
