Collaboration Extending Benefits to Automotive & Educational Sector

Invilogic, an IT company specialized in design automation with signing of partnership deed with MHP, a Porsche Company (Germany) targets Indian original market equipment manufacturers. According to the Managing Direction of Invilogic, there will be rapid shift in implementation of technologies from mechanical to electronic and software based. In order to the address the technical advancement, the IT Company might collaborate with major institutions and universities making provision for skills development program.

Over a period, this automation technology has brought huge amount of saving in the automotive industry. Design automation will work wonders for complexity management, right from entry-level to high-end cars.

Ransomware, Digital India and the Growing Cyber Threats

CADD CENTRE

The latest ransomware attack “WannaCry” has become a horror for most of the organization and countries. Looking at the speed at which it has spread has in fact raised questions on cybersecurity. Especially in countries like India where the nation is moving towards digitization through initiatives like “Digital India”, this attack has raised doubts on the safety of digital transactions.

With a strong motive to create a cashless economy, the shift towards digital payments has already increased significantly in India. In a survey, around 88% of the respondents showed their willingness to make use of digital payments and 48% were already using it for more than 75% of their transaction. However, all of them were concerned about the security, especially in the end devices. As more number of users is shifting towards digital payments, the chances to security risks such as online fraud and information theft are also increasing. Tax and advisory service provider point out the lack of awareness and poor digital payment ecosystem as a reason for online fraud and virus attacks.

Addressing the issues, there is a requirement of regulatory framework, foolproof security measures, convenience and immediate settlements to ensure long-term success for digital payments.

ANSYS 18 Release Focuses on Digital Twin, IoT and Engineering Apps

CADD CENTRE

With the release of ANSYS 18, the computer-aided engineering is extending the journey towards Internet of things ( IoT) and digital twin. The next phase for ANSYS was made possible after collaborating with PTC ThingWorx and GE Predix that enables development of applications. Besides the release, the objective of manufacturers is to ensure that simulations go throughout the life-cycle of the product right from design, manufacturing, use, and end of life.

IoT and Digital Twin will make CAE widespread

Simulations are going ahead focusing towards the product development in the edging as well as into the operations. The collaboration with the two IoT platforms (PTC ThingWorx and GE Predix) was a right move as both the companies had a head start in the IoT market and hold a significant place in the engineering community for the CAE software. It is a good way to hedge your bets and integrate with the market winners to introduce ANSYS’ simulation technology.

 

Simulation Engineering Application Builder available for ANSYS Users

Simulation Engineering apps are yet another way to branch out for the design cycle. ANSYS 18 comes packaged with the application building software, which is taken into use for creation of simulation engineering apps. Additionally, consultants and engineers can sell and share the apps to clients via ANSYS app store. Besides share and sell feature, customizing usage and limiting deployment for a specific project is also possible.

 

Extending the Scope of ANSYS AIM              

The new release has extended the capabilities of AIM with the upcoming of ANSYS Fluent and Mechanical. Previously, AIM was a product with some feature gaps but has now expanded towards some broad applicability. These files are easily transferable into ANSYS flagship simulation software in a way that analysts can explore into physics of designs without starting from the scratch.

 

Technology Enhancements to ANSYS 18 Portfolio

Noted were a few material advancements in ANSYS Mechanical, Geological, Electronic, and Biological Simulations. As an example, engineers will soon be able to simulate material with variable properties. Apart from these, ANSYS portfolio will experience ANSYS CFD Enterprise offering a new package of fluid dynamics, ability to study antenna signals, ability to import electrical models based on chip profiles and UI enhancement in the portfolio as per the customer feedback.

As a company seizes the opportunities presented by new trends, ANSYS seems to undergo continuous development keeping the software to lead the world via pervasive engineering simulation.
