Modeling Software supports directed distance measurement.
Nov 12 2007- D-Cubed 3D Dimensional Constraint Manager v37.0 positions parts in assemblies, simulates their kinematic motion, and parametrically controls configuration of 3D sketches and shape of parts. It includes directed distance dimensions between points, which can be measured along any given vector. Supported environments include 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, Linux Suse v10, Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5, and Intel 32-bit processor version of Mac OS X.

Software provides geometric modeling solution.
Jul 13 2007- Supported on Windows Vista(TM) OS, Parasolid® v19.0 offers automation of workflows in model construction, editing, interoperability, and downstream processing and includes sheet extension and trimming, blend construction and regeneration, and surface and tessellation quality capabilities. Options for configuring and monitoring results of rendering and validation operations are included. It also comprises of developer support tools including Parasolid Workshop.Net.

Software offers pre-configured environment for mill-turn.
Jun 18 2007- Part of UGS Velocity Series(TM) portfolio, UGS NX CAM Express v5 consists of full function, CAD-neutral numerical control programming application. It includes Free Flow Machining, which generates toolpaths by following natural topology of part to be machined, and Streamline finishing toolpath, which automatically interpolates between flow curves and will morph smoothly from start geometry to finish geometry. Program also offers post processing and machine simulation capabilities.

CAD Software helps optimize plant equipment design.
Jun 7 2007- Hybrid 2D/3D CAD solution, Solid Edge® v20, facilitates factory floor layouts with actual machine geometry. While assembly zones help deal with massive assembly design, Goal Seeking feature solves 2D engineering scenarios that are more easily expressed graphically than with equations in real time. Integration with Teamcenter SOA promotes supply chain collaboration, and Auto-constrain in Assembly feature adds parametric intelligence to imported data.

CAD/CAM/CAE Software speeds digital product development.
Apr 30 2007- Integrating CAD, CAM, and CAE into unified, open environment, NX® v5 provides companies with design freedom to work effectively with all legacy data to maximize reuse without redesign. Advanced Selection Intent automatically selects geometry and infers correct relationship, so users can quickly make design changes. Active Mockup enables engineers to work in context of total product, while JT(TM) data format supports files from multiple CAD programs to speed design process.

Software helps optimize manufacturing predictability.
Apr 30 2007- Integrating with Teamcenter® PLM software, Tecnomatix(TM) v8 Robotic and Automation software supports general assembly workflow, providing enterprise integration environment for manufacturing planning, simulation, documentation, and execution of assembly processes. It includes Process Simulate Robotics, which enable companies to bring robotics and automation environments together by providing platform for digitally validating shop floor deployment on virtual model.

FEA Software enables element modeling on PC.
Mar 5 2007- Femap® v9.3 pre and post processing application for engineering finite element analysis allows applying of loads through data surfaces, as well as bolt preload modeling. Supporting dynamic design analysis method for shock spectrum analysis, dynamics analysis, and fluid modeling, it has capability to include 1D, 2D, and 3D data surfaces. It can also expand geometric surfaces to solids, and allows access to API utilities through customer tools toolbar.

Appliance hastens real-time engineering collaboration.
Dec 22 2006- Teamcenter® Community Appliance provides users with extended-enterprise collaboration solution that includes community collaboration module. Built on Microsoft® Windows® Server System and run on HP ProLiant servers, it includes HP software, storage, networking switches; HA capabilities; as well as bundled UGS planning, implementation, and support services. Turn-key, real-time solution facilitates deployment of consistent, world-class system across local or global PLM implementation.

Software provides geometric modeling capabilities.
Dec 14 2006- Suited for advanced blending, general sweeping, and complex tapering, Parasolid v18.1 offers automation in offsetting, patterning, and imprinting operations. Interoperability support includes continuity in geometry construction along with optimizations in tolerant modeling and model interrogation, and options for rendering, previewing, and tracking.

Software provides collaborative product data management.
Oct 31 2006- Part of UGS Velocity Series(TM), Teamcenter® Express v2 offers complete design through manufacturing data management for SMBs. It includes XpresReview Package Exchange tool, which optimizes design collaboration between workgroups, suppliers, and customers. Program offers extensions for manufacturing process planning as well as tool, fixture, and standard resource libraries, and preconfigured ERP integration with SAP(TM) and Microsoft Dynamics(TM) GP, AX, and NAV.
