PTC Release Mathcad Prime 2.0

ben.fentem — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 12:37:47 +0000

Mathcad enables engineers to easily perform, document and share calculation and design results. Mathcad’s interface accepts and displays units aware math notation using keystrokes or menu palette clicks with no programming required. What sets Mathcad apart is that it’s easy-to-use. In fact, it’s the first solution to enable users to simultaneously solve and document engineering calculations in a single reusable worksheet, which can be saved or easily converted to several formats. Mathcad’s intuitive interface combines live, standard math notation, text and graphs, in a presentable format which enables knowledge capture, reuse and design verification for improved product quality.

Features and Benefits:

Beats A Spreadsheet

Easy to learn and use – Task-based interface promotes usability and enables you to learn unfamiliar functions or features quickly and easily.
Document focused – Powerful, document-centric calculation environment lets you create complex, professional engineering design documents quickly and easily, in a format that is presentable and understandable.
Advanced Math Exploration – Display, manipulate, analyze and plot data, with full units support throughout the application, so you can create calculations for testing before committing them to a design.
Dynamic units support throughout all calculations – This translates into reduced errors and higher accuracy of results, and more precise communication between engineers and teams, which improves process efficiency in product development.

Mathcad Prime 2.0 simplifies engineering calculation documentation through its document centric, what-you-see-is-what-you-get-approach. It combines equations, text and graphics in a presentable format, making it easy to perform, document and share calculations and design work.

With access to over 600 built-in engineering calculation functions, users can display, manipulate, analyze and plot data with full units support throughout the application.

Key Benefits:

Create complex, professional engineering documents, quickly, and easily
Manipulate, analyze and plot data with full units support
No difficult programming language or syntax to learn

The Royal Air Force Museum Cosford tells the story of man’s successes and failures in flying and missile development from the early days of aviation through two world wars to the present day.

It houses one of the largest aviation collections in the UK and one of the world’s most comprehensive missile collections. You can examine more than forty different aeroplane engines, from the rotary used in early biplanes, to the jet engine which powers the modern Eurofighter. There is also a small collection of motor vehicles associated with both civil and military aircraft support.

Throughout the day you are free to browse around the extensive museum and tours are also available for the delegates during the lunch break.

E3.Series 3D RoutingBridge for Electrical/Mechanical CAD integration

ben.fentem — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 15:54:31 +0000

The E³.3DRoutingBridge provides an interface between commonly used MCAD systems and the E³.series electrical design environment and is used to exchange data between schematics or cable plans and your 3D model. The enhanced technology facilitates data exchange between E³.series designs and 3D Harness Design Systems with an all new user interface, single installation and added functionality.

E³.3DRoutingBridge sends electrical data, such as device designation, component information and interconnection logic from E³.series to the mechanical CAD system and in turn, receives structural information such as wire length and take off locations. Overall functionality is dependent upon the MCAD system in use and typically includes bend radius checks, collision control, placement of fixings and more. Standard file transfer formats include XML, ASCII, or CSV. Integrating the electrical components into the 3D model at the start of the design ensures a more effective process and addresses time-to-market issues.

E³.3DRoutingBridge is available for Siemens NX, CATIA V5, SolidWorks, ProEngineer, Inventor, SolidEdge, NX I-deas and LANDMARK design systems. Detailed information what can be achieved in each of the MCAD systems is available from High Peak Systems by telephone on 0845 453 4101 or via email using the sales enquiry form
