Micro Concepts Teams up with Agni Link

Agni Link is a companion application to CAD/PLM software that establishes a direct, on-line connection between CAD product data and its counterpart in the ERP environment. Every time a CAD document is updated, Agni Link analyses both CAD and ERP data, resolves discrepancies, and finally presents you with a form to edit the data. Once edited data is confirmed by the user, Agni Link will simultaneously update product data in both CAD and ERP environments, thus ensuring perfect synchronisation of data, while virtually eliminating redundant data entry.

Autodesk Algor Simulation Express for Autodesk Inventor

Experience Autodesk Algor Simulation software by downloading the free Autodesk Algor Simulation Express software - an engineering simulation tool that allows you to perform a first pass of design validation and optimization before manufacturing.

Autodesk Algor Simulation Express software is an engineering simulation tool that allows you to perform a first pass of design validation and optimization before manufacturing. It allows designers and engineers to perform linear static stress analysis of single-part CAD models and virtually test the behavior of product designs, speed up time to market and make better, safer products at a lower cost.

Autodesk Algor Simulation Express software helps introduce manufacturers to the Autodesk Algor Simulation product line, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping. The Autodesk Algor Simulation products provide a wide range of tools to help perform accurate, efficient simulations and collaborate in a multi-CAD environment.

By providing an entire range of validation and optimization tools within the same easy-to-use interface, Autodesk Algor Simulation software lets designers and engineers start with mainstream tools and then expand their toolkit to include more advanced analysis such as Mechanical Event Simulation (MES) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) - without the need to learn new workflows.

LABS - Project Butterfly

Project Butterfly is a new Web CAD application from Autodesk that lets you edit and share AutoCAD drawings online from a Web browser without having to install or download anything.
Project Butterfly provides features that help you accelerate and improve the design process, bridging the gap between you and the people you work with.

Here are just a few things that make Butterfly an excellent companion:

Edit and Access: With Project Butterfly your AutoCAD drawings are available to you from anywhere. You can open them and even edit them from any computer, using just a Web browser. Project Butterfly’s editor is powerful and accurate while being easy to use, even for non CAD professionals. Of course, you can download your drawings back to your computer after making changes to them.
