ENGINEER's TOOLBOX

VX Version 6. This product now includes improvements to its surfacing ability such as a highly visual curve editor and significant enhancements to lofting and point cloud functions. A complete milling solution, called VX Quick Milling Suite, offers dramatic speed and toolpath improvements for machining applications. Major menu consolidations reduce and optimize the choices and steps necessary for typical construction of part geometry. VX Corp, Palm Bay, FL.  www.rsleads.com/205df-350


CAD editor. Imagenation 7.0 3D+ offers 3D CAD model viewing, markup and measurement capabilities for CATIA, Pro/Engineer, SAT, STEP and VDA-FS formats. Large-format scanner drivers and native file support for JPEG 2000 and LizardTech’s MrSID format have been added. Features include the capability to write single-page raster images to Adobe PDF and convert or export drawings and 2D markups to SVG format. Spicer Corp, Kitchener, ON.  www.rsleads.com/205df-351


Robotic motion verification. This product sheet describes how PLC Verification shortens time needed to commission a robotic workcell. Controls, tooling sequences, safeties and interlocks can be programmed and validated before the tool build is completed. Workspace View graphically represents the model, with all PLC and IGRIP input/output connections displayed. The software can also be applied as a 3D workcell training environment. Delmia, Troy, MI.  www.rsleads.com/205df-352

 

 


Thermal fluid calculations. Critical data for thermal fluid systems can now be performed at this company’s website. There are 2 modules — one for physical property vs. temperature, the other generating a custom report. Paratherm Corp, Conshohocken, PA.   www.rsleads.com/205df-353

 


Fluid flow and heat transfer simulation. CFdesign, a multi-purpose simulation package, is now offered as an integrated application for users of Autodesk Inventor. When CFdesign is launched within Inventor, the component or assembly that has been designed will automatically be prepared for boundary conditions and meshing, for simulation and analysis of product performance and optimization. Blue Ridge Numerics Inc, Charlottesville, VA.  www.rsleads.com/205df-354

 

 

 


Interactive process documentation. Now available for SolidWorks users, IPA Publish3d leverages data contained in assembly drawings to generate a 3D interactive web page that can be distributed as an e-mail attachment or published to a web site. Immersive Design Inc, Acton, MA.  www.rsleads.com/205df-355

 


Electromagnetic field analysis. Version 6.0 features a powerful geometric modeler and plug-ins to other 3D Solid Modeling CAD packages. Tools for creating a device’s physical geometry include 2D mode and surface definition. Integrated Engineering Software, Winnipeg, AB.  www.rsleads.com/205df-356

 

 


Information sharing. With the SpinFire solutions, anyone who needs to participate in the product design and manufacturing process can have access to native 2D and 3D CAD designs without requiring a full-featured CAD system or workstation. Actify, San Francisco, CA.  www.rsleads.com/205df-357

 


Wide format printing. The KM-P4850w and the KM-P4845w 600 dpi printers are for documents up to 24- x 36-in. Both take two 500-in. paper rolls, with an option to fit a third. The machines also accept the 600 dpi KM-S4850w scanner. Kyocera Mita America Inc, Fairfield, NJ.  www.rsleads.com/205df-358

 

 


Pressure vessel design. Design and evaluation can be carried out on pressure vessel models, including linear static stress analysis. A modeling wizard permits parametric vessel design, and it supports modeling of tapered cylinders. Algor Inc, Pittsburgh, PA.  www.rsleads.com/205df-359


Mock-up. Functional Prototyping provides insights to a product’s intended function through synthesizing behaviors and product structure. It applies hundreds of “what if” scenarios, reducing costly physical prototypes and reducing error. Centric Software Inc, San Jose, CA.  www.rsleads.com/205df-360

 


Auto electrical simulation. Simplorer 5.0 provides large-scale simulations electrical/electromechanical systems, and power-electronic and drive applications for power-distribution systems, electric and hybrid vehicles, and more. Ansoft Corp, Pittsburgh, PA.  www.rsleads.com/205df-362
