An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Ansys launches software bundle for universities from
Ansys, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ansys has announced its Ansoft Academic Product bundle. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Lattice Dataway delivers multiple 3D CAD files from
Lattice Technology: "Lattice Technology, developers of digital manufacturing applications using the XVL format, has announced the upcoming release of Lattice3D Dataway. ".
In September 2009, we covered the news from TraceParts
- take a look at Traceparts CAD library incorporates T-Flex models
which says: "T-Flex Parametric and Traceparts have announced the availability of the native T-Flex format in the Traceparts CAD Parts Library. ".
Take a look also at the news release from PTC - Parametric Technology (UK), Software aids race car development,
as well as Collaboration software update boosts performance from PTC - Parametric Technology (UK),
and Simulation software gains dedicated user forum from Flomerics.
