WHAT’S NEW IN NX 7.5

Modeling, Drafting and Assemblies
San Jose, CA – August, 2010 – Design Visionaries is proud to
announce the upcoming release of our latest book, Basic to Advanced NX 7.5
Modeling, Drafting and Assemblies.. Basic to Advanced NX 7.5 Modeling,
Drafting and Assemblies is the newly revised version of DV’s previous CAD
training textbooks. The content,
detail, and exercises included in this edition have been greatly expanded.
Topics in the manual will include: Synchronous and Master Modeling; Beginning to Advanced Curves; Editing Entities; Design, Reference, Surface and Detail
Features; Sheet Metal Features; and methodologies for Injection-Molded Parts and Castings.
Using NX 7.5 is like playing a piano. In the same way that chords are as
important as individual notes, NX commands are far more powerful when used in
concert with others. This book
makes an effort to show not only the details of the most important commands,
but the powerful combinations that DV has used to bring about excellent
designs.
This manual teaches modeling, assemblies, and drafting
functionality including all the latest and greatest tools found only in NX 7.5.
The book may be purchased at www.designviz.com/books.

Senate bill to create grant program targeting STEM education
"U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen today unveiled legislation to create a
competitive grant program for non-traditional science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM) educational programs alongside New
Hampshire inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen. STEM-related fields are expected to be the fastest growing occupations
of the next decade, however not enough students in the United States are
pursuing an education in STEM fields to keep up with the increase in
demand in the workforce. Shaheen’s Innovation Inspiration School Grant
Program legislation would address that shortage by increasing access to
and participation in STEM programs across the country. "
There’s an App for that.
Machine Design has put together a list of engineering apps for the iPhone. Very useful.
