AACHEN, Germany, Jan 16, 2020 – ModuleWorks announces the release of its 2019.12 CAD/CAM software components. This is the third major release of 2019 and is available now for download from the ModuleWorks website.

ModuleWorks is at the forefront of multi-axis machining and simulation technology, providing the toolpath and simulation technology that powers many of the leading CAM systems around the world today.

This latest release contains new performance-optimizing cycles for 5-axis and 3-axis machining as well as enhanced visual accuracy and sharper imaging for the Cutting and Adding Material Simulator.

5-Axis Machining

New finishing cycles for multiaxis machining

Two new finishing cycles have been added to the multiaxis machining toolpath generator: one for wall finishing and one for floor finishing.

Both cycles support barrel tools and offer all the process-optimizing features of the original roughing strategy, such as easy part selection, automatic collision checking between the tool and the part and automatic collision-free linking.

3-Axis Machining

Combined cycle for steep and shallow areas

With the HSM toolpath generator, operators can now machine steep and shallow areas in a single cycle. This accelerates CAM programming by eliminating repetitive steps and means that programmers only need to set up a single machining operation.

The cycle consists of constant Z for steep areas and two options for shallows areas, either constant cusp or parallel cuts.

Cutting and Adding Material Simulator

Enhanced visual accuracy for spherical tools

New algorithmic enhancements improve the visual accuracy of the simulation to deliver a sharper and more realistic simulation for spherical tools such as ball mill and bull mill tools. The resulting simulated part now has crisp corners and very smooth curves that accurately reflect the real shape of the tool without any noticeable segmentation or fragmentation.

PARIS, France, Jan 16, 2020 – E-on software, a leading global developer of software for the creation, animation, rendering, and integration of natural 3D environments in the computer graphics, VFX, architecture, and gaming industries, announced the immediate availability of the Q4 2019 Release (otherwise known as R4) of its VUE and PlantFactory software.

A new free trial version is also available of its VUE and PlantFactory software which includes all the updates from R4.

The full release note details are available online at https://info.e-onsoftware.com/release-notes-december-2019

This brand-new option allows the end user to select any location on the planet and extract the underlying terrain altitude data. Depending on the available data set, terrain elevation data can go as low as 3 meters between samples. Extracted height maps are then automatically converted to either height-field terrains or procedural terrains to allow for finer artistic control.

VDB export of animated clouds (1) and new cloud morphing technology

Users can now export cloud animations – both standalone clouds (MetaClouds) or volumetric cloud layers – as animated VDBs (one VDB file per frame). In addition, the R4 release adds a new feature to morph two MetaClouds together. This new technology automatically creates a smooth interpolation between the two cloud geometries and material looks.

Procedural material baking to PBR texture maps (1)

Users may now bake and export the Metallic/Roughness PBR channels from their authored procedural materials to texture maps. The generic UV unwrapper and UV packing algorithms were greatly optimized, allowing for up to x15 baking speed gain (depending on mesh size and resolution). The exported texture maps now benefit from a new color bleed blending algorithm (smudge and mean average color filler) to reduce visible seams when remapping meshes in 3rd party applications.

PlantFactory importers for 3ds Max and Maya (1)

With this new release, e-on software introduces the first technology preview of its upcoming native importer plugins, starting with dedicated importers for PlantFactory content. The plugins allow for loading, editing health, maturity and season as well as published parameters and converting native PlantFactory content within the host application, without going through any baking or exporting processed.

NATICK, MA, USA, Jan 16, 2020 – MathWorks announced that HDL Verifier provides support for the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) starting with Release 2019b, which is currently available. HDL Verifier enables design verification engineers developing FPGA and ASIC designs to generate UVM components and test benches directly from Simulink models and use them in simulators that support UVM such as those from Synopsys, Cadence, and Mentor.

A recent study by Wilson Research Group found that 48% of FPGA design projects and 71% percent of ASIC design projects rely on UVM for design verification. Typically, algorithm developers and system architects develop new algorithmic content in MATLAB and Simulink. Design verification (DV) engineers then use the MATLAB and Simulink models as a reference as they handwrite code for RTL test benches, which can be an extremely time-consuming process. Now with HDL Verifier, DV engineers can automatically generate UVM components such as sequences or scoreboards from system-level models already developed in Simulink. This approach reduces the time verification engineers spend developing test benches for ASIC and FPGA designs used in applications such as wireless communications, embedded vision, and controls.

“Simulink allows for us to reduce time spent on hand-writing production UVM test benches, test sequences and scoreboards by about 50% – leaving more time for us to focus on application for breakthrough innovations,” said Khalid Chishti, ASIC development manager, Allegro MicroSystems. “Our ASICs designed for automotive applications rely on UVM for production verification – MATLAB and Simulink simplify the once tedious task of developing the algorithms for these devices.”

With new features such as generation of UVM components, SystemVerilog assertions, and SystemVerilog DPI components from MATLAB and Simulink, HDL Verifier now offers extended support to design verification teams responsible for production verification of ASICs and FPGAs. Tasked with developing rigorous test benches in HDL simulators by handwriting code in SystemVerilog, these design verification teams can now generate verification components directly from existing MATLAB and Simulink models, and re-use these models to speed creation of production verification environments.

“According to the 2018 Functional Verification Study by Wilson Research and Mentor Graphics, DV engineers spend about one-fifth of their time on ASIC and FPGA projects in test bench development,” said Eric Cigan, principal HDL product marketing manager, MathWorks. “HDL Verifier’s capability to generate UVM and SystemVerilog DPI components from existing MATLAB and Simulink models can boost the productivity of DV engineers and improve collaboration between system architects, hardware designers, and DV engineers.”
