MAYSVILLE, KY, USA, May 5, 2020 – Carlson Software has released the FiX1 Fixed Installation Scanner for volumetric scanning and stockpile measurement. Designed as a permanent installation, the FiX1 is used to automate the delivery of volumetric data without the need for personnel and additional measurement tools on-site.

Carlson FiX1 – Fixed Installation Scanner

The Carlson FiX1 provides a simple, automated method for obtaining volumetric data of stockpiles in many different installation scenarios. The instrument can be mounted upside down or right-side up dependent on the stockpile placement. After installation, no knowledge of surveying, data processing, or point cloud manipulation is required by users. It can be scheduled to scan, process, and deliver a result without user intervention.

The instrument is accessed through the FiX1 Web UI. Once a volumetric scan is activated, the FiX1 Web UI will generate a point cloud, extract the region of interest, and automatically calculate the volume of material in that area.

“What I think users will really like about the FiX1 is that it can provide a complete history of scans,” says Brad Husack, Carlson support and special projects engineer. “Volumes are stored and users can download results at any time”.

Additionally, the Web UI provides a graphical representation of historical changes. Scan density and coverage can be user-defined through the setting of laser and angle resolutions in the Web UI.

The FiX1 features a rugged IP67 design for operation even in extreme environments. It can be remotely connected through either cellular data, Wi-Fi, or ethernet connection.

QUEBEC, QC, Canada, May 5, 2020 – InnovMetric, the global leader in smart 3D metrology software solutions, today introduced PolyWorks MS 2020, the latest release of its 3D dimensional analysis and quality control solution. PolyWorks MS 2020 offers multipiece editing capabilities that accelerate the preparation of robust inspection projects and facilitate data analysis. This new major release also extends the universality of its digitizing hub by adding support for new measurement instruments, and increases CNC CMM productivity by accelerating the execution of measurement sequences.

“Successfully deploying the PolyWorks enterprise platform in the market is not only about closing major business deals. It’s also about accepting a great responsibility,” said Marc Soucy, President of InnovMetric. He added, “Every year, we’re on a mission, as our customers expect us to improve their daily performance, offer the new dimensional controls that they need, and expand the universality of our platform by adding and enhancing our 3D measurement hardware interfaces. With PolyWorks 2020, we’re right on target once again.”

Boost the quality of project setup and analysis by leveraging multiple scanned models

PolyWorks|Inspector now allows users to modify and add data alignments, measurement objects, and inspection reports for multiple measured pieces at once.

The new capability will allow PolyWorks users to more easily prepare robust inspection projects that handle all pieces. When a user builds an initial project and starts measuring pieces, he may encounter a problematic piece for which the object extraction parameters do not work properly. The new multipiece editing technology allows him to fine-tune the object’s extraction and fitting parameters until satisfactory results are obtained, and then apply these changes to all previously scanned pieces in one operation, to ensure that the new parameters do not negatively impact the other pieces.

Multipiece editing is also a very powerful tool for quickly investigating a production failure by analyzing previously fabricated pieces. When a failing piece is detected, new measurement objects and reports are generally required to get additional information. PolyWorks 2020 now allows users to add these new objects and reports to a subset of selected pieces in a single operation, to analyze object measurement results, trend charts, and statistics on these pieces, with the goal of better understanding the conditions that led to the failure.

Benefit from the extended universality of the portable metrology solution

PolyWorks MS 2020 enhances its portable metrology workflows and adds interfaces for new instruments, expanding the limits of the PolyWorks|Inspector platform:

1. Construct planes and lines from already measured objects and access the complete GD&T toolbox and fitting statistics;
2. Trigger the use of Creaform laser scanners within the Play Inspection tool;
3. Enjoy high-performance measurement methods that leverage the capabilities of the Leica ATS600 tracker; and,
4. Connect to a MicroRidge MobileCollect wireless system and bring measurements from handheld gauges into inspection projects.

Increase CNC CMM productivity

More and more CNC CMM users are adopting PolyWorks MS as they discover its outstanding ease of use and performance. Version 2020 enhances and broadens its CNC CMM solution to help users increase their productivity in their ultracompetitive markets by:

1. Accelerating the execution of CNC CMM sequences while probing in fly mode (up to 50% faster) and laser scanning;
2. Ensuring that CMM positions are reachable by the machine to avoid invalid moves when defining a sequence offline, or assist when porting a sequence to a CMM with a different measurement volume; and,
3. Offering the control of Hexagon and Zeiss CMM-based laser scanners through I++.

MUNICH, Germany, May 4, 2020 –  SimScale, the provider of the world’s first production-ready SaaS application for computer-aided engineering (CAE), released enhanced collaboration features and a multi-user licensing package to support design, engineering, and architecture teams with multiple people who use simulation in medium and large enterprises.

Screenshot of SimScale’s new collaboration features on the cloud-based CAE platform. Multiple users can now collaborate on one project together – in real-time.

Design projects with tight timelines and deadlines generally have multiple team members—some spanning various locations and timezones—running simulations of their CAD models. With traditional CAE desktop applications, virtual testing can only be done sequentially and in silos, which leads to long design iteration times. In addition, sharing simulation results in a traditional setup usually means sending back and forth static (PDF) reports via email. The information between stakeholders can quickly get out of sync, making knowledge sharing and collaboration difficult.

With the goal of tackling these hurdles, the enhanced features available as part of SimScale’s Team Plan allows an engineering team to always share and work on a “single source of truth” for all of their projects—live and interactive.

Designed to meet the needs of enterprise customers, the new plan improves the ease of use for teams through:

1. Efficient collaboration: Multiple users can work simultaneously without the need to copy projects back and forth, regardless if the team is working together from the same location or is dispersed globally.
2. Scalability of simulation expertise: Know-how can be shared using project examples.
3. Improved support: The SimScale team is able to more efficiently support customers by having the possibility to edit their simulation projects directly.
4. Dedicated success engineer: A dedicated customer success engineer will be assigned to a customer’s account.
5. Visibility: A shared dashboard that contains all projects created and worked on by a team provides a holistic overview of the current status of any project.
6. Cost control & Accounting: Users can filter computation jobs by project and/or time frame to get a core hour consumption summary. Any filter view can be exported and processed externally.

“We hear that our customers want and need to work collaboratively on their simulation projects and, as a cloud-based platform, we are uniquely positioned to offer real-time, global collaboration,” said Jon Wilde, Vice President of Product at SimScale. “With these enhanced features, SimScale is responding to the needs of our users to work on simulation projects simultaneously versus sequentially, saving time and enabling a much more iterative design process. It is exciting that they can now collaborate from any location, while using such a powerful, browser-based simulation platform.”
