“H-Point – The Fundamentals of Car Design and Packaging,” by Stuart Macey is the definitive reference guide for car designers and automotive engineers, presenting a process for developing vehicles that is underpinned by logic and creativity organizing packaging standards that apply to automobile and truck design. I GET IT, the online self-paced training solution for engineers from Tata Technologies, today announced that “The Fundamentals of Vehicle Design and Packaging” is now available in its exclusive portfolio of online self-paced training for engineers. Design professionals can export vector artwork from SketchBook Designer and bring it into Alias as curve data, transforming 2D concept sketches directly into 3D product designs.Īutodesk Vault 2012 product data management software gives workgroups across multiple locations more control over engineering data and documents from design through manufacturing, expanding its integration to additional Autodesk applications, including Navisworks, Inventor Publisher and Autodesk Simulation.
Powered by Granta’s expert materials database and proven sustainable design methodology, Eco Materials Adviser helps guide material selection and generates eco-impact reports so engineers can record and communicate the benefits of their sustainable design decisions.Īutodesk Showcase 2012 visualization software is a key element of the Product Design Suite, transforming CAD data into compelling imagery, movies, and interactive presentations to improve the design review process, secure internal buy-in and win competitive bids.Īutodesk Simulation 2012 software, previously known as Autodesk Algor Simulation, offers an all-new user interface as well as Autodesk Vault integration, introducing new revision management capabilities for easier management of design and engineering information.Īutodesk SketchBook Designer 2012 software provides digital sketching and illustration to enhance the creative process. The new Eco Materials Adviser in Inventor 2012 addresses sustainable design requirements early in the design process - when it matters most - enabling manufacturers to choose materials that minimize environmental impact without compromising on cost and performance. have built new design methods into Autodesk Inventor 2012 software that help designers estimate a product’s environmental impact and make more sustainable design decisions. New additions to the suite in 2012 include AutoCAD Mechanical for automating mechanical CAD tasks and 3ds Max Design and Showcase for enhancing communication and bids.Īs a result of the strategic partnership announced in Oct.
It offers factory specific functionality in both AutoCAD Architecture and Autodesk Inventor, combined with Autodesk Navisworks’ visualization and analysis and Autodesk Vault to improve collaboration.
Navigating with a 3D mouse - Draftsight.png (63.Launched in 2010 and updated this year, Autodesk Factory Design Suite 2012 is a factory layout and optimization solution that helps manufacturers make better layout decisions through the creation of a digital factory model, helping save time and money. And the help section of draftsight states that you can use a 3Dconnexion 3D mouse to navigate (see attachement). I recommend that you contact Dassault Systèmes and express your wish to make clear that this is a demand from their customers. The decision to include 3D support in their development schedule is often influenced by the level of customer interest. We advise our customers to contact the Customer Service of applications that are lacking support and request it be added in future versions of their software.
We have an SDK which any software developer can download at no cost and which allows the integration of 3D device support in proprietary software. Adding 3D device support to an application is determined by the application developer rather than by 3Dconnexion. In order to use it with 3Dconnexion devices, support for 3D devices would need to be added inside this software.
You can find a list of supported applications on our website.
