Mitigating the Legacy Data Risk to PLM Deployments

May 15, 2013 · Blog Posts
Deploying PLM or PDM? Heh. That’s literally a whole different class of software. Many things can go horribly wrong along the way to a go-live date. If you’re leading the deployment of such a system, be ready. There will be surprises along the way. What surprises? Well, let’s discuss.

Tech4PD | Systems Engineering and PLM: Future or Fool’s Dream?

May 14, 2013 · Tech4PD Webshow
Today’s “Smart” products embody elements of mechanical, electrical and software design. That makes the requirements increasingly interdependent. Systems engineering is the integration of these functions into a unified design. In this episode, Jim and Chad debate whether systems engineering is ready to be integrated in the PLM system, or should stand apart using best-of-breed applications.

Features or Direct Modeling: Which is Better for Mold and Tool Design?

May 13, 2013 · Blog Posts
Do you remember when 3D solid modeling hit the market? I guess it started a little over 15 years ago. You had parameters that would drive changes in features that would, in turn, manipulate product geometry. Drawings updated automatically. It was pretty amazing at the time. Now, do you remember when the movement came to mold and tool design? The picture painted back then was equally amazing. Apply some global shrinkage or other tweaks, subtract the product geometry to create the cavity and crack that mold. Presto: you were done.

Systems Simulation: Far-off Future or Feasible Now?

May 8, 2013 · Blog Posts
Move over multi-physics. There's now a different field that qualifies as the bleeding edge of technology in simulation: system simulation. Many organizations are just starting to broach this field in an effort to better understand how systems perform holistically.

Dassault Systèmes Acquires FE-DESIGN: What Does It Mean for the 3DEXPERIENCE Vision?

May 6, 2013 · Blog Posts
Another day, another acquisition. I have to admit though, I find this one intriguing. Not because the SIMULIA brand feels relatively complete already from a portfolio perspective. More from the perspective of what it means for their whole 3DEXPERIENCE vision. There's actually a lot there. Read on and I'll give you my perspective.
