NX Simulation: One Model to Rule Them All
Posted on March 5, 2012 | 10 CommentsWhen you start looking at simulation software tools, you quickly realize that there is a lot there. There are tools for preprocessing. Tools to interrogate simulation results. There are many... -
ST in NX: It’s not about Direct Modeling
Posted on May 18, 2011 | 4 CommentsFor me, today started like just about any other day. To get up to speed, I check my stream of tweets, LinkedIn updates and Facebook updates from people I’m following... -
New Publication: The Key to Recovery through NPD Productivity

Siemens PLM and Synchronous Technology in Solid Edge
Posted on March 28, 2011 | 4 CommentsThere certainly has been a lot going on in the CAD industry of late. It seems as if just about everyone has been talking about adding or integrating direct modeling... -
Simply Pragmatic: The SPLM Teamcenter and Microsoft Office Integration
Posted on February 22, 2011 | 2 CommentsMost people that follow this blog might notice a recurring theme in my posts: engineers simply have too many lifecycle responsibilities to be come experts in any software application or system. A few weeks ago, this line of thinking led me to post some thoughts on how mashup applications could bring access to many enterprise systems to the engineer in one place. And I still think that's one of the more feasible alternatives for engineers. -
Design Engineer Aaron Solet on Transitioning to Synchronous Technology in Solid Edge
Posted on October 22, 2010 | No CommentsA couple weeks ago, you watched Dr. Andrew Thomas talk about Energist's transition to using Synchronous Technology in Solid Edge. As you'll see below in my interview with Aaron Solet, there are both positives and negatives to learning how to use this new technology. -

CTO Dr. Andrew Thomas on Energist’s Transition to Synchronous Technology
Posted on October 12, 2010 | No CommentsLast week, we heard from Dr. Thomas Andrew from Energist on selecting Solid Edge as their CAD and CAE for mechanical design. And as interesting as that interview is, it's not the end of the story. A couple years after they started using Solid Edge, Siemens PLM introduced Synchronous Technology (wikipedia entry). While there's always some excite around new technologies and the value they can deliver with their use, there's also some trepidation around the learning curve and procedural changes to day to day work. During my interview with Dr. Thomas, I asked him how and why they made the transition. -
CTO Dr. Andrew Thomas on Energist’s Selection of Solid Edge
Posted on October 5, 2010 | No CommentsEveryone likes to have a second opinion, right? I see it at many places like LinkedIn where people ask about the use of different software systems and applications. "Have you used system x?" one might ask. "Have you used application c" another might ask. Now of course, I have my own perspectives on engineering software systems and applications that I publish here at this blog. But an overall goal of mine is also to provide a platform to those in the engineering community to be heard. That's why I conduct video interviews.

What is the Impact of Siemens PLM’s HD Strategy on Decision Support?
Posted on September 14, 2010 | No CommentsSiemens PLM's HD strategy provides stakeholders a way to visually access and navigate information in Teamcenter, Siemens's PLM offering. For stakeholders that are not heavy PLM users and tend to avoid textual navigation of the system, this new framework provides an easier and faster way to get to information yourself. However, to utilize these capabilities, you will need to familiarize yourself with the attributes used in the PLM system and be somewhat technically savvy.
