Avatars assemble vehicles at Ford?
Yes they do! Virtual vehicles, of course, and the avatars are called Jack and Jill.

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:

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.

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.

Yesterday, 20 May 2010, we announced NX7. In this second blog post, I will review some of the new features in NX7.
For existing users, we have made NX7.5 even more compelling. Following is a short list of our goals for this release:

Today in Shanghai China at the World Exposition Shanghai China 2010 (Expo 2010), we announced NX7 the latest release of our NX software.
NX 7 is the first product to support Siemens’ new high definition PLM (HD-PLM) technology framework, unveiled earlier in the day.

Below are a few videos on the flooding in Nashville that started two weeks ago. Our thoughts are with all those affected.
As you can imagine, it’s created a little havoc for our PLM Connection Americas event that was planned for later this month at the Gaylord Hotel in Nashville.

This is not an easy task as the amount of information to take into account is huge. Starting with architectural information like the plant layout to libraries of standard manufacturing equipment which can be used to build the products to the required output of the manufacturing lines.
In addition there are a lot of people from different departments involved which need to communicate to finally get an optimized, reliable and well functioning factory.

In a previous blog post Brad Whitmore from Procter & Gamble described how he and his team solved this challenge.
