Autodesk is taking a stab at addressing design requirements around industry workflows with a new family of suites that package up a range of Autodesk design, visualization and simulation technologies.
The first of the design suites address visual, plant and factory design, and the platforms have been architected to provide strong interoperability between the Autodesk products. Initially, Autodesk released:
Autodesk Factory Design Suite for machine and equipment builders, system integrators and manufacturers designing and simulating layouts of machine lines and manufacturing facilities. This suite offering is intended to help manufacturers make better layout decisions by creating a digital prototype of the factory before equipment is installed and commissioned. The suite includes AutoCAD Architecture, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Vault and Autodesk Navisworks.
Autodesk Plant Design Suite, for plant designers and engineers, delivers integrated plant design and project review capabilities for plant design projects. Packaged together in this suite are AutoCAD, AutoCAD P&ID, AutoCAD Plant 3D and Autodesk Navisworks.
The third offering is Autodesk Design Suite, for architects and designers using AutoCAD who want enhanced concept design, sketching and 3D visualization capabilities. This lineup includes AutoCAD, 3ds Max Design and Alias Design.
We looked at a number of sources to determine this year's greenest cars, from KBB to automotive trade magazines to environmental organizations. These 14 cars emerged as being great at either stretching fuel or reducing carbon footprint.
Researchers at MIT and Sandia National Labs have observed a reaction in lithium-air batteries that could help improve the design of these cells for electric vehicles and other applications.
Healthcare might seem to be an unlikely target application for the Internet of Things technology, but recent developments show small ways that big-data is going to make an impact on patient care moving into the future.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
