Carlson GeoTech provides the ability to import borehole data for analyzing subsurface conditions and materials. “GeoTech will model all core samples and produce a detailed, easy-to-read report for drill logs, cross sections, and plan view,” says Dave Carlson, V.P. of Development for Carlson Software. In addition, this information is fully integrated with Carlson Civil, for determining site stability and suitability, and also Carlson Construction, for accurate strata takeoff estimation. Carlson CADnet allows users to create CAD from non-CAD documents such as PDFs, raster images, and paper plans. CAD text can also be generated from raster images with CADnet’s built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR). All new with this release is the ability to import BIM models (doors, windows, walls, roofs, etc.)...

The VERICUT Reviewer incorporates all the functionality of NC Review mode in a stand-alone viewer that does not use a license. The Reviewer can play forward and backward while removing and replacing material. You can rotate, pan and zoom just like normal VERICUT, and the cut stock can be measured using all the standard X-caliper tools. The \”Reviewer\” file can be saved at any point in a VERICUT session. VERICUT is an advanced solids-based software program that interactively simulates CNC machining. The program supports milling, drilling, turning, mill/turn, and EDM operations. VERICUT enables NC programmers to verify the accuracy and quality of the NC program using a computer. Inefficient motion or programming errors that could potentially ruin the part, damage...

SIMULIA is the simulation software brand that includes both the CATIA and ABAQUS analysis solutions. The ABAQUS suite consists of three core products; ABAQUS Standard, ABAQUS Explicit and ABAQUS for CATIA. ABAQUS Standard provides analysis technology to solve traditional linear and non linear finite element analysis, including static, dynamic, and thermal analyses, supported with a wide range of contact and non-linear material options. ABAQUS Explicit provides analysis technology focused on high-speed, non-linear, transient dynamic and quasi-static analyses using an explicit time integration. This is appropriate in many applications such as; drop tests, crushing, and manufacturing processes ABAQUS for CATIA takes the existing functionality of ABAQUS Standard and integrates this within the CATIA environment. The result is advanced functionality that extends...
