System Level Dynamic Simulation for Machinery Designers

 

Adams/Machinery makes analyst-level simulation practical for the rest of us.
For engineers who build high-performance machinery, today's CAD systems are a mixed bag. Most mainstream CAD programs include tools to evaluate part interference, and do kinematic motion studies. They often include closely integrated FEA, for studying linear vibration and transient dynamics. But they're missing something important.

GIAN PAOLO BASSI ON SOLIDWORKS 2013

As much as I'm interested in what new capabilities SolidWorks 2013 will bring, I'm much more interested in something else: Has Dassault Systemes SolidWorks Corp invested the resources it will take to make it a really good release?

SHOULD YOU USE JT OR 3D PDF?

I always like a little controversy. Especially when it leads to more understanding. A few days ago, Dennis Keating, a Senior Account Executive with Siemens PLM, posted this note about JT over on LinkedIn... Those sound like good fighting words, don't they?

THE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING IMPERATIVE

I suspect that most real world systems engineering is done on a rather ad-hoc basis. Possibly because most people involved in the product development process don't really appreciate what elements are required to do systems engineering.

IS HE BACK? JON HIRSCHTICK TO KEYNOTE AT CIMDATA PLM ROAD MAP

One of the premier conferences in the engineering software industry is PLM Road Map, presented byCIMdata, Inc. Last week, I got a note from CIMdata that Jon Hirschtick would be one of the keynote presenters at PLM Road Map. This could make things interesting. Jon, as many folks in the industry know, was the founding CEO of SolidWorks.

AUTODESK TO INTEGRATE INFORBIX INTO PLM 360

Inforbix is not a big company. It's, by any measure, a small technology start-up. Autodesk acquires small companies all the time. So why does Inforbix matter? Start with Oleg Shilovitsky, Inforbix's CEO. He is what many people call a "thought leader" in PLM. He writes the PLM Think Tank and Beyond PLM blogs, and expresses his thoughts on PLM regularly, and publicly. He's quite respected by people who know what they're doing.
