F E A Made Practical!
Learn NX5 Advanced Simulation / Nastran Software!
- reduce
costs through good analysis - get to
market faster
Design Visionaries will be introducing its latest book,
Advanced Simulation Using Nastran NX, at Siemens PLM Connection Americas
2008! This is a “Project-Oriented Manual
for People Who Design Stuff”. In the
manual, we will work on some very simple components and assemblies to learn all
the skills needed to conduct different types of finite element analyses.
And, as always, we offer our expert training. On-site or in
our facility, our goal is to make advanced finite element analysis techniques
more accessible to those who are doing the initial design of engineering
components and assemblies.
Design Visionaries invites you to hear Stephen Samuel, President of Design
Visionaries, speak about “Ultimate Shape Control with the Latest NX”
on Tuesday, June 2 at 2:15 p.m. Steve has been
presenting on NX and engineering design for over 10 years!
Visit Design Visionaries in booth 33 at Siemens PLM Connection Americas 2008,
at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, June 2-3, and learn how Design Visionaries can provide
you with custom in-person and web-based training, product lifecycle management
solutions, software sales, NX and Teamcenter training manuals, product and
industrial design, and more.
SpaceExplorer supports Mac OS X
3Dconnexion has announced that its SpaceExplorer 3D mouse is now supported by Mac OS X 10.4.6 and later. 3Dconnexion’s SpaceExplorer
offers intuitive navigation for more than 100 of today’s most
powerful 3D design and visualization applications. Push, pull, tilt,
or twist the SpaceExplorer’s controller cap to simultaneously
pan, zoom, and rotate 3D objects and environments.
In addition, users can maneuver camera views for increased control and
flexibility in applications such as Autodesk Maya and Google SketchUp.
The SpaceExplorer device is
supported by Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended and Acrobat, Apple QuickTime
Player (QTVR), Autodesk Maya, Blender, formZ, Google Earth and
SketchUp, Graphisoft ArchiCAD, IMSI/Design TurboSketch Studio, IVS 3D
Fledermaus Professional, Nemetschek VectorWorks, Robert McNeel &
Associates Rhinoceros, Smith Micro Software Poser and the Second Life Grid Platform.

Siemens PLM launches NX6
Design Freedom with Breakthrough Synchronous Technology and Advanced Simulation Deliver Greater Powers
BOSTON, May 20, 2008 – Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of Siemens Industry Automation
Division and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management
(PLM) products and services, today announced the release of NX™ 6
digital product development software that provides features driven from
Siemens PLM Software’s recently announced synchronous technology.
Siemens PLM Software made the announcement in conjunction with its annual industry analyst event that begins today in Boston.
“NX
6 delivers on the breakthrough in design productivity we announced last
month,” said Joan Hirsch, vice president of NX product development,
Siemens PLM Software. “We’ve integrated synchronous technology into the
NX comprehensive toolset, delivering major enhancements to design,
simulation and manufacturing. This release enhances our strong momentum
and the market share growth NX is experiencing.”
"Our
implementation of NX is realizing productivity improvements that have
exceeded our targets and overall we’re seeing a 20 percent improvement
in the CAD operation efficiency,” said Keigo Fukushi, general manager,
Process Information Management Department, R&D Engineering
Management Division, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. “We believe the NX team is
committed to helping Nissan achieve our long-term objectives in product
development.”
Four key NX 6 innovations
- Flexibility
– NX 6 provides users new flexibility with Design Freedom powered by
synchronous technology that leverages the ease of direct editing in the
model creation process. Design Freedom now combines the best of
constraint-driven techniques with direct modeling in a technology that
provides users with up to a 100 times faster design experience than
ever before. - Strength – NX 6 handles extremely complex problems
through comprehensive CAD/CAM/CAE. NX 6 advanced simulation handles the
most demanding CAE challenges, providing a 30 percent reduction in
physical prototypes. - Coordination – the NX 6 unified process
enables collaborative product development that leads to 20 percent
faster cycle times through process efficiency improvements such as
feature-based machining. - Productivity – NX 6 provides engineers
and designers greater productivity through major re-use enhancements
such as scrapbook modeling that can improve cycle times by 40 percent.
With NX 6 engineers gain greater productivity through their ability to
leverage multi-CAD data within their design, analysis and manufacturing
processes thereby reducing the need to re-master information for
improved analysis and machining times.
PLM World, Redux
Steve Samuel will be presenting once again at PLM World. See his presentation, "Ultimate Shape Control with the Latest NX", an Tuesday, June 3d, at 2:15 pm.
Also, stop by the Design Visionaries booth in space #33.
PLM World agendas and abstracts have been posted to the website.
You can find pdfs for each day’s agenda outline. The General and
Technical page has a table with all of the presentation details. You
can sort by
SIG, day, etc, and also filter it down to see just the SIG you are
interested in.
