BLACKSBURG, VA, USA, May 14, 2021 – Vitech has announced the release of GENESYS 2021, the latest version of its model-based systems engineering development platform. This release brings a range of added features that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility—all in the service of greater analytical power for the engineer.

Vitech’s GENESYS 2021 brings an increase in analytical power to model-based systems engineering.

“Today’s complex systems require highly refined capabilities in accurately capturing requirements, architectures, and relationships throughout a product lifecycle,” said David Long, President of Vitech. “GENESYS 2021 does this with even greater richness than previous versions, giving the engineer tremendous analytical power. With these capabilities, you can better combine architecture to manage complexity with the analysis required to engineer with rigor.”

Streamlined creation and maintenance of architectures

GENESYS has long supported the object-oriented concept of inheritance, as users tailor and extend the information model used to analyze and specify their system of interest. With entity-level inheritance, GENESYS 2021 enables users to apply these same concepts to the architecture itself. Users can now model objects specifying attributes, parameters, and properties once, and then inherit, specialize, and extend these entities based upon need. The result is a powerful yet flexible framework enabling users to rapidly model both general and specialized ideas, avoiding duplication of work and allowing for the streamlining of updates as well as simplifying reuse.

Increased clarity and avoidance of errors through enhanced parameters

Parameters play a key role in the requirements, design, and verification of systems. In classical document-centric engineering, these numerics of design are embedded within textual statements. GENESYS exposes these values for enhanced management and analysis while maintaining the natural language statements used by many engineers, delivering an integrated system for human and computer reasoning. GENESYS 2021 enhances the specification and management of these critical values, bringing unprecedented power to the specification and analysis of systems.

GENESYS 2021 extends the fields associated with each parameter, providing greater richness and flexibility in requirements, design, and verification. Users can now specify objectives, minimum, and maximum values to define valid ranges as well as precision to better reflect requirements, architecture, and test. Project teams control which fields to display, allowing teams to tailor parameters to meet their specific needs.

Even more powerful is the ability to bind parameters together, clearly reflecting dependencies and avoiding manual translation errors. Critical requirements values can be bound directly to architecture and test, enabling the team to understand their current status while rapidly responding to changes in requirements or design. When combined with software ranging from MATLAB to ModelCenter MBSE, the result is enhanced analytical rigor driven and connected by the descriptive architecture.

An enhanced MBSE experience

While focused on greater analytical power to enhance engineering, GENESYS 2021 features a refreshed user interface providing a modern experience that is immediately familiar to today’s users. In addition, consumers of GENESYS information now benefit from expanded access to the rich visualizations introduced in GENESYS 2020 R2. “Systems engineering is about more than analytical rigor,” said Long. “It’s about connecting the diverse transdisciplinary team required to analyze a system from multiple viewpoints. Enhanced visualizations and a modern user experience reduce the barriers to entry for those engaged directly in systems engineering and those leveraging their work.”

BEND, OR, USA, May 13, 2021 – Tech Soft 3D, the leading provider of engineering software development toolkits, today announces that 3D Interaction Technologies (3DIT), a Dresden, Germany-headquartered specialist in real time 3D visualizations, is using HOOPS Exchange to build fast, reliable 3D CAD data access into its innovative Govie software platform – the Govie Editor.

Combining aspects of 3D games and movies, Govie is a new medium that merges the freedom of gaming surroundings with the organized scenery of a video, helping to present 3D models in a more understandable way. At any time, the user can interrupt the filmic presentation and interact with the 3D model in real-time. With the help of interactive features, the user can manipulate the model on screen as desired by rotating it, zooming in and out, adjusting its position, clicking on touch points to reveal further details or information, and much more.

These capabilities make Govie an ideal tool for the presentation of complex information, allowing end users in a wide variety of industries – from education and architecture, to industrial machinery – to easily communicate complex designs, processes, or other information to experts and non-experts alike.

Taking Advantage of Robust and Reliable Data Translation

In order to create the manipulable 3D model, end users must first upload source material into the Govie Editor platform. This can be 3D graphics models, in particular GLB, technical drawings or 360° photographs, but is oftentimes a CAD model.

HOOPS Exchange, a new key component of the HOOPS Platform that handles data translation and delivers access to over 30 CAD file formats through a single interface, is key to ensuring that Govie can handle the widest variety of source files.

“We’re allowing end users to take a very technical file, which may have been created in a complex CAD package, and make that information easier to digest,” said Henry Wojcik, Founder & CEO of 3DIT. “With HOOPS Exchange, we can support the needs of a variety of industries, all of whom use different systems and CAD file formats – allowing them to simply upload them as they are and to transfer into a non-CAD highly performant web-3D model.”

Once the source material is uploaded, the platform applies virtual materials and material effects to the object, to make a photo-realistic copy of the original. Then, interfaces are applied to the 3D model that make additional information – such as cost or pricing details, notes, or other data – readily accessible.

One of Govie’s biggest strengths is its ability to take viewers on a journey, whether that’s by offering a virtual 3D walkthrough of a building that has yet to be constructed or by showing what a complex piece of machinery would look like in action.

“If someone sends you an interactive model, what aspects are you supposed to focus on or explore?” said Wojcik. “There’s no guidance. Likewise, if someone sends you a video with flyovers, that’s useful – but there’s no way to click through to see details. Our goal with Govie is to combine the benefits of those two media into one new medium that combines 3D plus storytelling plus interactivity.”

3DIT looks forward to continuing to expand its Govie Editor platform out to new verticals and to continue leveraging Tech Soft 3D as a partner so that it can focus on its core competencies.

“Anyone who uses CAD – and who wants to explain their product or technology more easily to others – is a potential customer,” said Wojcik. “By relying on Tech Soft 3D for foundational aspects like data translation, we can better serve those customers by devoting our resources to enhancing the innovative 3D interaction technologies that we are pioneering.”

PFLUGERVILLE, TX, USA, May 13, 2021 – EOS, a leading supplier for responsible manufacturing solutions based on industrial 3D printing technology, is reporting strong market demand for applications featuring its patented 3D printed flexible lattice. EOS calls it Digital Foam, but no matter the final product, the company is eager to work with organizations who want to leverage this type of design in their manufacturing.

Bike seat EOS, built on an EOS P 396 system, wit TPU1301 material

Invented by EOS employees Michael Jan Galba, Monika Gessler, and Johann Oberhofer, the innovative patent relates to any generatively 3D printed object which has a flexible grid-like structure or matrix (i.e., lattice), composed of open cells that are joined together in groups of differing characteristics. Described in basic terms, this covers any varying 3D printed lattice structures morphing into each other.

Whether applied to polymers or metals, the IP covers the additive manufacturing of any three-dimensional object that has a lattice structure designed for predetermined flexibility characteristics and is protected by EOS in the U.S. under Patent number 10,259,041 issued in April 2019 – and globally, with other filings.

One of the patent’s authors, Michael Jan Galba, saw the potential of this advancement years ago.

“We knew that this process would enable unprecedented manufacturing customization opportunities. But seeing the adoption by so many innovative organizations who are really making it a cornerstone of their 3D printed applications has surpassed our expectations.”

“Using our patent, designers are able to make groups of cells creating a lattice that can be engineered with varying levels of compressibility,” adds Galba. “One common example we are seeing leverage this IP is in athletic footwear.

Now, consumers can purchase footwear tailored to their specific needs or desired performance characteristics, such as shoe soles with varying compressibility in the heel, toe, and arch areas, made all in one additively manufactured piece. This is a great real-world use-case of mass customization.”

Early adopters of EOS’ Digital Foam are seeking product differentiation, competitive advantages, and improved product performance characteristics including safety, comfort, light-weighting and “tuneability.”

“We are having dozens of conversations now with manufacturers who are developing or have developed some really fascinating products, and our team is set-up to collaborate at whatever level of support is needed, from engineering and setting-up production, to licensing,” said Dr. Gregory Hayes, senior vice president of applied engineering at EOS North America.

“We look forward to working directly with any manufacturers interested in 3D printing flexible lattices so they can benefit from our expertise around this IP.”
