Helix 98 enables the movement of legacy 2D CAD data into the creation of 3D models. Input to the CAD data can be from paper to raster and/or vector, or uniquely in mixed formats. It can be input directly from DWG/DXF and moved into current engineering designs. Helix 98 allows freedom of choice by the user between employing 3D WireFrame, sculptured surfacing, solid modeling, and/or parametric variational solid modeling.

Plastic may not be the most beloved of materials to the more environmentally minded, but Plasti 2012 aimed to mold a different opinion of the material in people's minds.
The rare earth element market has become steadily more rational, and new sources coming online will continue to reduce costs. Still, it is unlikely that prices will drop to their former lows.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
