ETA Dynaform 5.8


As tough market competition demands faster cycle times, lower software costs and lower user qualification thresholds, Engineering Technology Associates, Inc. (ETA) has developed a new tool, the INC Solver, to address these needs. The solver is included in DYNAFORM 5.7.3, released today.

To expaBody Side Simulationnd the usability of DYNAFORM’s Die Face Engineering (DFE) module, INC is a finite element analysis (FEA) solver designed for sheet metal forming simulations. It provides a value solution for customers who are looking for rapid die design and a virtual tryout tool that generates quick results, is easy to master, but does not sacrifice accuracy.

Tagged at “Best Practice” within INC, the solution pre-populates a set of default parameters produce accurate results. This feature provides a guided
process for inexperienced users; while more advanced users can adjust these default parameters to their preferences. Also, INC Solver requires very few manipulations overall to simulate a typical 3-piece draw analysis.

For die face design virtual tryout, the solver offers capabilities for simulating gravity-loading, binder-wrap, crash-form, single-action and double-action draw die, as well as springback prediction and lancing operations. INC solver supports non-conforming CAD surfaces and its fusion-fission approach handles mesh adaptivity effectively.

INC takes advantage of Intel’s latest multiple-core computing platform to make computing very affordable. For example, a 4-Core system costing under $1500 can process the most complicated large bodyside panel simulation in less than 50 minutes.

In addition to DFE, DYNAFORM includes three other modules, including DYNAFORM includes three other modules, including Blank Size Engineering (BSE), LS-DYNA-based Formability Simulation (FS) and LS-DYNA-based Die System Analysis (DSA). DYNAFORM is a complete die system simulation solution which allows organizations to bypass soft tooling, reducing overall tryout time, lowering costs, increasing productivity and providing confidence in die system design.

CAMWORKS 2011_FOR_SOLIDWORKS2011


CAMWorks 2011 is an intuitive solids‐based CAM solution that helps manufacturers increase productivity and profitability through best‐in‐class technologies
and adaptable automation tools that maximize machining efficiencies. It is simple to use and eliminates the drudgery of CNC programming with Intelligent
Machining through automation.
CAMWorks 2011 is an intuitive solids‐based CAM solution that helps manufacturers increase productivity and profitability through best‐in‐class technologies
and adaptable automation tools that maximize machining efficiencies. It is simple to use and eliminates the drudgery of CNC programming with Intelligent
Machining through automation.
CAMWorks® uses the familiar SolidWorks® interface, so it is easy to learn and easy to use. The CAMWorks trees are similar to the SolidWorks FeatureManager design tree. Items in the tree can be suppressed, expanded, renamed and moved using the same procedures as SolidWorks. Online help, Installation and Quick Start Guide and tutorials can help you generate toolpaths and code quickly. The tutorials are provided electronically in Adobe PDF files.


Minimize Efforts
CAMWorks is a feature-based CAM system that provides the ability to automatically recognize many machinable features. Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) analyzes the solid model geometry and identifies mill features such as holes, slots, pockets, and bosses; turning features such as outside diameters, faces, grooves and cutoffs; and wire EDM features such as die openings. AFR recognizes features regardless of the CAD system in which they were created.

Features that cannot be found automatically or that need to be defined for your specific machining requirements can be defined effortlessly using the Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR) wizard.

After machinable features have been defined, the user can take advantage of the machining automation in CAMWorks to generate operations. Machining operations include roughing, finishing, drilling, etc. Operations are associated to machinable features.

Automate and Control intelligently


CAMWorks defines areas to be machined as features, then applies automation and intelligence to generate toolpathsGeometric Technologies (A division of Geometric Americas Inc.)' innovative TechDB™ (Technology Database) is designed to significantly reduce the time required to generate machining strategies and processes. Using knowledge-based machining technology, the database associates tooling, operation strategies and machining parameters to the features. When operations are generated, CAMWorks applies these settings automatically. To further enhance the automation process, the knowledge-based rules in the TechDB are fully customizable to apply your company’s best practices. While CAMWorks promotes saving time through automation, at any time in the process full interactive manual control is available at your fingertips.

Pulsonix_v7.0_keygen

Pulsonix Version 7.0

Version 7.0 is the next step in the on-going growth of Pulsonix, responding to customer demand and continuing to provide best-in-class range of functionality. Below is an overview of the major new features in the release.
Pulsonix now supports STEP, the industry standard for interfacing to Mechanical CAD systems. This allows you to provide a detailed 3D model of your PCB to your MCAD system such as SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor, including populating the board with accurate 3D component representations by referencing STEP models. Many of these models are provided by component suppliers free of charge and can be downloaded from the internet, then referenced from your PCB design in just a few quick steps.
Scripting Scripts can be written using a range of languages (VBscript, Javascript, Pythonscript, etc) to carry out a range of design work. Access is provided to much of the Pulsonix data model, enabling automation of repetitive tasks, production of reports, and output of data not directly provided through the main application user interface.
Macros Macros can now be recorded and replayed, allowing you to save time by automating repetitive tasks. Interactive and dialog actions are recorded, and can then be replayed in 'absolute' or 'relative' mode to re-apply the same sequence of actions.
Micro-via Support Pad styles for micro-vias are now supported, including the special pads needed for 'entry' and 'stop' pads, enabling laser-drilled micro-vias to be created and managed as an integral part of your design process. You can even specify 'stacked' micro-vias as a composite to cross multiple layer spans using two or more micro-vias of the same or different styles.
New Base Autorouter From version 7 onwards every variant of the Pulsonix product range includes a base autorouter. Featuring a numerically stable geometric topology, the new autorouter produces predominantly 45-degree routing with aesthetically pleasing results more akin to hand routed designs.
Flexi-rigid Boards Layer Spans can now be applied to areas, boards and board cutouts, allowing a range of board configurations to be defined. This includes flexi-rigid boards, and boards with 'wells' or internal 'cavities'. Components can be placed on the surfaces of these different boards or even within the cavities.
