By Bruce Jenkins, President, Ora Research Last month’s Release 2016a of MathWorks’ Simulink Design Optimization software includes a new sensitivity analysis tool to support design space exploration. The tool lets design engineers interactively conduct design of experiments (DOE) and Monte Carlo simulations of Simulink models. What is design space exploration? The most successful engineering projects […]
ESI Pro-SiVIC 2016 models how sensors perceive scenes and smart products make decisions
By Bruce Jenkins, President, Ora Research New tools for development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous (self-driving) vehicles are highlights of Pro-SiVIC 2016, ESI Group’s latest release of the sensor simulation platform it acquired last year along with the software’s developer, CIVITEC. Targeted primarily at transportation industries, ESI Pro-SiVIC lets engineering organizations virtually […]
ANSYS, GE partner to bring simulation to the Industrial IoT
By Bruce Jenkins, President, Ora Research A top CAE vendor has partnered with a world industrial giant to help engineering and manufacturing organizations capitalize on the Industrial Internet of Things. Part of the recent agreement between ANSYS and General Electric expands GE’s use of ANSYS engineering simulation solutions to accommodate GE’s 2015 acquisition of Alstom’s […]
FeatureScript amps up power of Onshape
By Bruce Jenkins, President, Ora Research Full-cloud CAD pioneer Onshape amped up the power and utility of its software with FeatureScript, a new programming language that lets users create new parametric features that look, feel and behave just like Onshape’s built-in features. FeatureScript Curve Pattern. Source: Onshape This is the same language used by Onshape […]
Design space exploration: Adoption drivers, adoption constraints, potential adoption accelerators
By Bruce Jenkins, President, Ora Research Design space exploration today is enjoying ever-increasing levels of recognition, adoption and successful application to help solve some the world’s most difficult engineering problems. Nevertheless, there remain significant impediments to the even broader deployment and usage that champions of these tools and methods believe will be possible, and indeed […]
Cloud-native CAD will disrupt the PLM platform paradigm
By Bruce Jenkins, President, Ora Research An illuminating blog post by Onshape engineering team member Ilya Baran reveals some fundamentals of how the new cloud-native CAD system works: “We are careful to distinguish several types of data: the User Interface (UI) state – e.g., selection, camera view, current tab; the Part Studio definition – e.g., […]
