AGS Labs Releases Facet Analysis Software

May 7th, 2012

A software program that calculates and graphically displays the cutting precision of facets on a round brilliant cut diamond has been released by the American Gem Society Laboratories.

AGS Lab announced the release of Visual Proportion Analyzer (VPA) during the annual AGS Conclave, held this year in Miami.

The VPA examines the cutting precision of the levels or tiers of like facets on a standard round brilliant cut. The software includes 20 sample scans that exemplify various diamond cutting characteristics as well as an instruction manual.

The program is free for private use, made available to consumers and trade members alike. However, to use the software with their own diamonds, users will first need to have Sarin .srn files and .stl files.

VPA will then convert these files into PNG format files that any standard graphic program can open.

Panopticon Software Partners with QlikTech to Provide Real-Time Visual Data Monitoring and Analysis Dashboards

March 21st, 2012

Panopticon Software, the leading provider of visual data analysis software for real-time, CEP and historical time series data, today announced a partnership with QlikTech, a leader in Business Discovery – user-driven Business Intelligence (BI), to offer enhanced, real-time visualization capabilities for the QlikView Business Discovery platform. As a result, customers will have the tools to extract even more value from their existing QlikView implementations and stay ahead of the fast-changing requirements particularly in the areas of real-time trading, risk monitoring, and analysis.

QlikTech’s powerful, accessible Business Discovery solution bridges the gap between traditional business intelligence (BI) solutions and standalone office productivity applications. Its QlikView Business Discovery platform enables intuitive user-driven analysis that can be implemented in days or weeks rather than months, years, or not at all. QlikView’s in-memory associative search technology allows users to explore information freely in a Google-like experience rather than being confined to a predefined path of questions. QlikView Business Discovery works with existing BI applications and adds new capabilities: insight for everyone, zero-wait analysis, mobility, an app–like model, remixability and reassembly and a social and collaborative experience.

As a member of QlikTech’s Qonnect Partner Program for Technology Partners, Panopticon supports QlikView desktop, web, and mobile interactive dashboards and allows users to filter and interact directly with real-time data. By integrating Panopticon into their systems, QlikView users can:

Federate reference and real-time streaming data as well as conflated time series data sets;
Connect to virtually any relational or column-oriented database, including tick databases;
Connect to real-time message queues;
Connect to Complex Event Processing (CEP) engines; and
Make full use of Panopticon’s library of visualizations designed specifically to analyze financial data.

The combined Panopticon-QlikView platform is now available for immediate installation.

Michael Saliter, Senior Director Global Market Development – Financial Services at QlikTech said, “Our partnership with Panopticon allows us to incorporate leading real-time visualization capabilities into our QlikView implementations. We recognize the importance of providing our clients with truly up-to-date information, and this new approach supports that initiative. Our teams share a common philosophy about proper data visualization design. This made it easy to develop a unified approach to the presentation of real-time, time series, and static data in ways that people can understand in seconds.”

Willem De Geer, Managing Director for Panopticon Software, stated, “The QlikView Business Discovery platform is extraordinary. It offers an intuitive user interface, as well as a very efficient and smart architecture that puts an inordinate amount of processing power on the screen. We’ve already had very productive engagements with clients in capital markets, insurance, telecoms, logistics, and manufacturing and we believe that retailers, health care providers, energy companies, and many others will find the platform very compelling.”

TDS Selects MSC Software’s Marc for Nonlinear Analysis

December 23rd, 2011

Share

MSC Software Corporation announced that Technik und Design Systementwicklung (TDS) has selected MSC Marc at its choice for nonlinear analysis. TDS is an engineering services company based in Ingolstadt, Germany, and focused on the development of seals and doors. TDS has expertise in the area of interior door panels and equipment of car bodies.

TDS has traditionally only focused on design and development work using computer-aided design (CAD) software. However, the company will now begin to integrate numerical simulations into their development processes. The company’s goal is to shorten development cycles, and do more goal-oriented structural optimization studies early in the design process.

“So far we’ve outsourced simulation jobs, or our customers have done their own analyses. However, we want to collaborate with our customers from the very first concept idea to the final manufacturing,” said Ulf Nestler, Director of TDS. “Therefore it’s necessary that we build the complete development process chain in-house. By doing the modeling and analysis in-house, we can answer critical questions about the durability of our designs. We want to be able to independently judge which design alternative will be the best choice.”

TDS has selected Marc because of its capabilities in advanced nonlinear structural analysis, contact, complex material models, and multi-physics. Crucial to TDS’s decision to invest in Marc was the well-engineered Marc software technology, and the very robust numeric algorithms Marc uses to solve nonlinear problems. TDS plans to perform structural analysis of elastomeric components for seal profiles. These requirements include large deformations, complex contact and critical friction conditions, temperature and time dependant, as well as incompressible material behavior.

With Marc’s analysis capabilities, the engineers at TDS can solve very complex and high degree nonlinear mechanical-structural, thermal, thermal-mechanical coupled problems, as well as problems in the areas of multi-physics like electrostatics, magnetostatics, electromagnetism, and piezoelectrics.
