There are quite a few CAD people talking about cloud computing in 2010. It’s a term that has been extremely overused (kind of like “social media” ) so I thought a quick post might help lift the fog

I have an upcoming work trip to Europe at the end of February that will take me to four countries in 12 days. I will be writing more about this including interviews with our channel partners and some of our own Siemens PLM folks, pictures and insights into what is happening in the SMB market. 

My last stop in London, England provides me with an opportunity to tour the Red Bull Racing facility in Milton Keynes. Siemens PLM is a sponsor of the Formula One team; they use NX and Teamcenter to help develop their cars and improve their performance on the race track.  Expect a post from me about their use of our technology along with some pics of our tour. For now, you can read our case study for more information.

This week, I was speaking with a colleague about my impending trip. Back in 2008, Dora shared a video on Andretti Green Racing and Hendrick Motorsports but we, Siemens PLM, have never fully shared the scope of the race teams that use our software here on the blog. Continue reading to see a list of teams from the US and their drivers that use PLM software from Siemens.

For those of you who received one of our print 2010 calendars, you saw this bar dispenser, aka a “bar gun”, from Schroeder America gracing the month of January. All of the images can be seen in our Global Image Gallery. The “Best in Class” are the 12 who appear on the print edition.

Now if you were a kid like me who grew up in a household where soda was a special treat, you probably like the idea of a gun that shoots a near endless supply of the sweet juices. If you’re a designer or engineer, you’d probably like to know a little more about this design.

Deborah Absalon from Schroeder America was kind enough to fill us in.

Most of us lug around on our travels multiple gadgets, Blackberry Phone, Laptop, mp3 music player, e-reader and probably a note book for taking notes.

Wouldn’t it be cool if a new device could combine all these into a single hybrid device so I can listen to music, surf the web anywhere anytime, read books and news papers, watch movies, take notes, jot down ideas and observations, work on my presentations and even make phone calls? And to top it off it would have multi-touch interface that goes beyond iPhone i.e., I could flip a page as I do with normal books, or I could drop & drag objects with touch, or I could draw, sketch, write, etc with my fingers!

Last week, Siemens announced a new release of Femap - version 10.1.1. It is the latest in a series of more than 30 successful product releases.

Find more details about Femap 10.1.1 from the Femap web site.

Read on to learn how our customer SpaceWorks uses Femap with NX Nastran in the large and complex design of satellites.

What’s the big deal with Teamcenter here? The manufacturing engineers now can use the same environment as the product engineers. This enables the manufacturing engineers to get product updates immediately without data conversion.

In addition Teamcenter provides platform services like revisions, effectivity, and change or variants management. And not to forget the communication and collaboration capabilities which support global engineering and manufacturing.

Let’s take a look at the planning workflow and focus on weld points. They are used to hold the nearly 400 single parts of the car body together.

Have you attended a Siemens PLM Users group meeting in the past? Are you aware of the annual conference and that there are users group meetings held regionally throughout the year? If not, you should.

I had a talk with one of our software developers the other day asking what it is like to work on CAD software.  You might think this was over coffee in the break room but really, we were separated by several thousand miles.  For Solid Edge Simulation, we have developers contributing from all over the world (Alabama, Pennsylvania, Ohio in the US and England and India outside the US.) and this is just a small product.
