Virtual Studio+ Training Course now Available 

With Solid Edge V18, Virtual Studio+ is now an integral part of the Solid Edge Classic package, allowing you to render your designs quickly and accurately at any stage of the design process.

Based on ‘Lightworks’ Technology, Virtual Studio+ provides the ability to simulate a wide range of materials, colours, textures, scenes and real lighting situations, and allows you to create high quality, photorealistic, or stylised, artistic, renderings of parts or assemblies at lightning speed. These images can then be used in Design Reviews, Sales Presentations, Technical and Marketing Publications.
 

This one day course will enable the delegate to build and render scenes within Virtual Studio +, providing a thorough grounding in the definition of materials, finishes, scenery and lighting studies

Tip from the Helpdesk 

Did you know that you can change the display of the Assembly Pathfinder to show "Part Properties", instead of the file names? How?

Open an Assembly, then open the Tools/Options and switch to the ‘Manage’ Tab. Click ‘Change’ next to ‘Document name Formula’ and modify the formula to suit.

Voyager Partner News ...for MSC.Nastran users

Due to a consistent failure to deliver upgrades to customers on a timely basis UGS has decided to terminate MSC’s contract to supply products based on Femap. As a result of UGS’ decision, MSC can no longer provide Femap inside MSC.Nastran for Windows nor offer upgrades.

As a result of this decision UGS are offering all users of MSC.Nastran a free upgrade to Femap 9.1 with NX Nastran 4.0, and all future updates in a timely fashion. This offer enables Femap-based product users to protect their existing investment in Femap and increase productivity through the latest enhancements.
