Simulating the real Aras and Ansys collaborate on digital production
A
ras has partnered with Ansys, licensing Aras’ platform
technology in order to push the evolution of engineering practices even further into the digital realm. This involves Ansys leveraging features of the technology, such as configuration management, PDM/PLM interoperability, API integration, while adding simulation specific capabilities to deliver scalable and configurable products that connect simulation and optimisation to the business of engineering — creating completely new ways of exploring and improving product performance. This comes as a result of a rising interest from organisations in utilising simulation throughout their products’ lifecycles to interoperate with their existing PLM, ALM and ERP applications. Additionally,
customers hope to address scale and complexity challenges with data and process management, traceability and availability of simulation results across the lifecycle.
Using Aras’ platform, Ansys looks to improve productivity and maximise business value from simulation investments, delivering commercial offerings for simulation process and data management, process integration, design optimisation and data science, driven by simulation. “With our open ecosystem approach, this unique collaboration combines the strengths of Ansys’ multiphysics portfolio and the resilient platform from Aras for digital connectivity to enhance customer value,” says Navin Budhiraja, vice president of cloud and platform business unit at Ansys:
“As simulation technologies impact every product decision, we see the chance to interoperate and link with heterogeneous systems as an important step in accelerating the digital transformation.” “We believe that simulation is essential to developing tomorrow’s next generation products, and that better data and process management of simulations is required to enable the digital industrial and engineering processes of the future that will support these products,” added Peter Schroer, president and CEO of Aras.

SWITCH TO THE INDUSTRIAL NT328G R
ed Lion Controls have released their new NT328G Layer 3 Ethernet switch. With attributes such as 28 high-speed ports and reliable wire- speed switching performance, the NT328G is applicable to the current and future needs of many bandwidth-intensive industrial applications. The NT328G’s ports are a flexible mix between copper and fiber, opening
the door to a variety of connection options – this versatility extends into the Layer 3 routing that provides the ability to route across VLANs or subnets. The NT328G’s vulnerability is another concern; Red Lion Controls
has responsively developed it with a robust feature set in mind, which includes network redundancy, advanced, integrated security, policy-based traffic control and easy-to-use configuration and management. This is hoped to reduce operating costs, while providing continuous monitoring of network activity. Its rugged IP30 rackmount metal housing is constructed for long-life use in the harsh industrial environments suited to the appropriate use- cases: resistant to fluctuating temperature conditions within a plethora of hazardous locations, the NT328G has a durability that reduces downtime.
