AnyLogic 7, the newest version of the most definitive simulation and modeling software available has been released. Features include enhanced support for multimethod modeling, decreased need for coding, renewed libraries, and other usability improvements.

Toadв„ў Data Modeler helps you create high-quality data models. This data modeling tool enables you to easily deploy accurate changes to data structures across more than 20 different platforms.

LightWave 3D is a complete modeling, animation and rendering solution. Its native renderer is unparalleled and serves as the centerpiece in the production pipeline of many facilities both large and small. Render nodes are free and set up is quite straightforward. LightWave Modeler excels both as a subdivision surface and a polygonal modeler, fast, efficient and again, straightforward in functionality. In addition, an industry leading node-based texturing and shading system allows you to create any look you desire – quickly and easily. LightWave is the perfect combination of power, speed and value.

Chief Architect was created for the professional Home Design Software market and was the first object-based 3D CAD system with smart object design principles; known as Building Information Modeling (BIM).

3DF Zephyr Pro allows you to automatically reconstruct 3D models from photos. The process is completely automatic and no coded targets, manual editing or special equipments are needed. 3DF Zephyr is built on top of our proprietary, cutting-edge, reconstruction technology. 3DF Zephyr Pro comes with a user friendly interface, and the possibility to export in many common 3D formats or even to generate lossless video without the need of external tools. 3DF Zephyr Pro is the perfect tool for modeling from reality.

VariCAD 2014 is a 3D/2D CAD system for mechanical engineering. In addition to standard tools for 3D modeling and 2D drafting, the CAD system provides tools for shells, pipelines, sheet metal unbending and crash tests, assembly support, libraries of standard mechanical parts (ANSI, DIN) and symbols, mechanical part calculations and tools for working with bills of materials (BOM) and title blocks. VariCAD supports STEP, STL, IGES, DWG and DXF file formats. User Interface and System Environment VariCAD's Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been designed to allow quick and intuitive 3D/2D orientation. We carefully tailored and tuned the GUI to reflect the thought process of a designer, so that ideas can be captured and communicated with a minimal number of steps. All commands were created with a focus on ease of use. An intelligent cursor, numerous detection and selection modes, 2D construction lines, and the orthogonal grid are just some of the tools that make working with VariCAD so easy.

AMPL (an abbreviation of the English. A Mathematical Programming Language?» ??“ ?«Language for Mathematical Programming) ??“ high level programming language developed at Bell Laboratories, in order to describe and solve complex problems of optimization and scheduling theory. AMPL does not solve the problem directly, and calls appropriate external solvers (like CPLEX, MINOS, IPOPT, SNOPT, etc.), to obtain solutions. AMPL works with linear and nonlinear optimization problems with discrete or continuous variables. One advantage of AMPL ??“ like its syntax mathematical record of optimization problems that allows us to give very short and easy to read the definition of mathematical programming. Many modern solvers available on the server NEOS, take input models for AMPL. AMPL was created English. Robert Fourer, Eng. David Gay and Brian Kerniganom.

Maplesoft announced a new release of MapleSim, the advanced system-level modeling and simulation platform. With usability improvements across many different aspects of the interface, MapleSim 6.2 speeds up model development of both simple and complex models. In addition, new and improved add-ons expand the modeling scope of MapleSim to include advanced hydraulics and enhance toolchain connectivity.

Especially in medium-sized companies with a wide range of diverse applications, the designer needs a practical and flexible design software, which is clear and easy to use. In MegaCAD the advantages of the parametric history-based modeling with the user-friendliness of the history-direct Modellieransatzes be combined. The designer is completely free in its operation. He is not forced to define parametric drawing objects to. He determines whether to feature-based 3D models directly, or want to model-based parametric 2D sketches.

Bentley Systems Inc., the leading company dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for sustaining infrastructure, announced the release of GeoStructural Analysis 17.00.33.00, suite of programs is designed to solve various geotechnical problems. Each program is used to analyze a different geotechnical task but all programs communicate with each other to form an integrated suite.
