Open Standards for PLM

by dorasmith | 04 Jun 2010

I’ve seen a lot of conversation lately in regards to openness in the CAD/PLM industry. So it seems timely to share some of the discussion and reiterate how important open standards are to us as a company and the PLM industry.

First some of the recent conversations along this thread:

CAD folks, help me out with a simple survey experiment

by Mark Burhop | 01 Jun 2010

PLM Connection is coming up and I’ve got a few more presentations and hands-on that last year. Like any of you, I’d like to present the right information so I’m thinking about the best mixture of content.

At the same time, I’ve been noticing an increasing use of new polling technologies on the web. I just created one with Zoomerang but I’ve heard good things about SurveyMonkey too. They are useful in that you can just drop a link in your favorite social media platform and off you go, collecting interesting and relevant data (one hopes!)

So, I put together a simple five question survey that I’d love for you to take (even if it is to tell me you hate taking surveys!)

NX7 Part 4 – Lifecycle Simulation (CAE)

by JerrySarfati | 26 May 2010

This is the 4th post on the new items in NX7. In today’s post, I will review CAE or Lifecycle Simulation.

NX 7.5 offers major enhancements across the entire CAE portfolio. Some of the highlights are in the areas of multi-body dynamics, FE modeling of thin-walled structures, beam modeling, meshing, laminate composites and support for multi-physics solvers.

In addition, we have new product offerings for flexible body dynamics, durability analysis and model correlation.

Here are some of the key highlights:

HD-PLM Technology Framework Launched at Expo 2010 Shanghai China

by JerrySarfati | 25 May 2010

As I previously mentioned, Siemens PLM Software launched its HD-PLM Technology Framework at Expo 2010 Shanghai China with a press event and product demonstrations. This was an ideal venue for addressing the globalization demands that manufacturing and process industry companies are facing today.

HD-PLM is based on four basic tenets that define how the technology framework will help users make better decisions faster so they can spend more time innovating.

NX7 Part 3 – Synchronous Freeform Modeling

by JerrySarfati | 24 May 2010

One of the highlights of NX7 is the extension of Synchronous Technology into freeform modeling. NX freeform modeling streamlines the advanced shaping process by making it easy to work with any geometry, including imported models. Users can start with simple prismatic or analytic geometry and use advanced shaping tools to form complex organic models in significantly less time.
