Visualization

Digital artists discuss their tools and tricks.

The power of an immersive, shared experience to promote collaboration and inform design should not be underestimated.

The vehicle simulation software packages have been extended with many new animation resources (walking pedestrians, pedaling bicyclists, running animals), road surfaces and paint markings, road signs and other “props” that appear along a road.

Democratizing simulation will require software providers to generate a mix of specialty and high-level applications.

Your rendering software of choice dictates your hardware investment.

TurboCAD 2018 includes over three dozen new and improved features, the company reports.

The consumerisation of VR is opening-up visualisation options at an unprecedented rate. Designers can produce photorealistic images of products faster and more accurately, enabling even faster time-to-market and allowing customers to experience the product – without real-world prototyping and modelling costs.

Small form factor, intense computation and 3D-printed circuitry test design and analysis in the ECAD industry.

This digital issue features rounds up DE’s recent coverage of immersive design engineering technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality, digital twins, remote rendering, simulation visualization and more.

Simulation and visualization benefit from GPU-accelerated interactivity.

Discovery Live from ANSYS will enable engineers to simulate designs in real time quickly and more economically, the company reports.

Computer clusters for HPC continue to be a viable solution for engineering teams, along with workstations, virtualization, cloud computing and on-site data centers.

Cloud-based 3D rendering now possible on mixed reality devices with Umbra's platform.

External GPUs, virtual machines and remote workstations broaden visualization options.

With the new solution, engineers can perform model analysis such as collision checks or clearance calculations directly in their task context.
