Message 5 of Yes last night from home. Message 6 of I do occasionally, My guess it's from excess internet traffic between you and the PointA server. Message 7 of Kent: No time out here. I got through but I couldn't find anything on Design Accelerator. Message 8 of I have not had any timeouts connecting to it, but I fail to find anything there mentioning how I am to go about downloading the preview. I've contacted the person in the press release with the following message: As a subscription customer, I was pleased to see an announcement and link on the Inventor discussion groups regarding this preview.
The press release states it is available NOW? Could you please advise on when this item will actually be available and how I can download it? Hoping to hear back from someone on where I am supposed to be able to download it!
Message 9 of All, The Design Accelerator Preview should be posted on the Subscription site by the end of the day tomorrow, October 21st. A that time, English and German versions will be available with other languages to follow. Author Shaan Hurley. Richard Leakey Happy Happy Holidays! Dynamo 2. Tweets by ShaanHurley.
Between the Lines Follow Me on Twitter. Sandy Joung, PTC 's director, product marketing, observes that Autodesk's use of the term might be different than what we've seen in the past. Autodesk, on the other hand, has a different definition. Hand Over the Handbook Some of those who say functional design is not new cite as precedent the concepts put forth in the MechSoft Engineering Handbook, a product that's at least half a decade old.
Some also point to features in their own CAD systems as distant cousins of functional design, sharing the same MechSoft DNA but brought up in a better environment, they say.
MechSoft was acquired by Autodesk in February Its family of products included an extensive library of parts, a calculation-driven parts generator and online engineering reference information. To be fair, Autodesk never hid its intent to crossbreed MechSoft technology with its own. At the time, Autodesk announced it would acquire "certain assets of MechSoft," then "integrate key components The MechSoft acquisition was a tactic to execute on key functional paradigms for machinery components.
There are many functional environments inside Inventor -- the FrameGenerator, tube and pipe design, and wire harness design are just a few examples -- that are not related to or the result of the MechSoft acquisition. It is our intent to make functional design the pervasive paradigm in the CAD application. Functional design, as implemented in Autodesk Inventor. SolidWorks' Gawlick adds, "Autodesk took the MechSoft incarnation of the handbook off the market, but there are many software packages that a user could use to get the handbook calculations in an automated way.
Gawlick says Autodesk's acquisition of MechSoft assets "was not a big deal for us, as MechSoft had a very small following in our customer base, probably because the MechSoft approach does not match the workflow people typically use in product design. He argues that two SolidWorks components -- Smart Parts and Optimization features -- can stand in for functional design and, in his view, represent a more sensible approach to letting the software generate geometry.
