CIMdata Publishes 'Overcoming the Barriers Imposed by Geometry'
SpaceClaim empowers CAE analysts
ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 26 — CIMdata, the leading global product lifecycle management (PLM) management consulting and research firm, announces a new paper detailing the use of SpaceClaim Engineer as a tool to prepare CAD model geometry for finite element meshing prior to analysis.
"Overcoming the Barriers Imposed by Geometry" explores the issues that CAE analysts face due to the burden of poor quality and over-detailed geometric models in their attempts to produce timely simulation results. In order to properly mesh models for finite element analysis, topological inaccuracies such as surface gaps and small sliver surfaces in the geometry must first be corrected. The analyst must then simplify the model by de-featuring the geometric detail by removing things such as small holes, slots, and rounds that design has added for final manufacturing.
This paper describes these time-consuming issues and relates the experiences of three different CAE analysts who have turned to SpaceClaim Engineer as a solution. According to Ken Versprille, Ph.D., CIMdata executive consultant, "To succeed in preparing geometry for finite element meshing, a product must be able to import the extensive range of CAD model formats commonly used in industry and offer an intuitive user interface that is easy to learn by non-CAD experts. SpaceClaim boasts a positive record in each case, as testified to by their customers."
Dr. Versprille will participate in a SpaceClaim-sponsored webinar on this topic at 1:00 p.m. Eastern US time, September 14, 2011. Further details will be announced at a future date.
"Overcoming the Barriers Imposed by Geometry" is available to be freely downloaded from CIMdata's Publications web page at http://www.cimdata.com/publications/reports_complimentary.html.

New Software Licensing Terms are Key to Adoption of HPC Cloud Services
For at least the past couple years, High Performance Computing (HPC) has been more easily and financially accessible to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) via cloud technology. At least in theory. Remarkably, a major gap still must be bridged – the Independent Software Vendor (ISV) licensing chasm.

Where Is The “Planning” In Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)?
You may need more than one of these disciplines to manage your inventory and your business – Just in Time Inventory (JIT), S&OP (sales & operational planning), Lean, Integrated Business Planning (IBP), CPFR (collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment, and Kanban. Like herding cats. An ERP system can help bring order to chaos.
