Can you tell it's a slow time in our microcosm of CAD news?
Sure, LMS sells off its Noesis division to Japan and then promptly buys up Emmeskay [MSK] from India. But the accompanying press releases are so incomprehensible to me that I can't report on the transaction.
Oh, and then there is that scandal brewing over employees on strike (or quitting) after some other acquisition in the CAD world, but I can't really report on the he-said, she-said nature of the dispute, because, I mean, both sides have given me reasonable explanations why they are not in the wrong.
It takes a comment on the Deelip.com blog to raise me out of my summer cold that's dogging me this week. Mike Atkins of Siemens PLM Software points to one of his Web page's that lists the names of vendors that use Parasolid and/or D-Cubed in their AEC software. It is a short list, but nevertheless impressive:
Autodesk, Bentley Systems, CAD Systems, Gehry Technologies, Intergraph, Nemetschek North America, TDCI, Tekla, Thermwood, and Vertex Systems.
For instance, 3D DCM is used to design parametric floor plans, windows, doors and furniture, site layouts, roads, sketching 3D pipe and HVAC routes, and 3D building shape control.
D-Cubed Collision Detection Manager checks for collisions (interferences) and clearances.
MicroStation and Vectorworks use the ParaSolid kernel.
