If you have the kind of product that has a lot of information, you might find yourself wondering how to create a Bill of Material table that can show some of this extra data?
In just over 2 minutes, you'll learn how!
I found this article yesterday from Your Renewable News and thought I'd share it with you.
It mostly talks about the application of Dassault Systèmes software in a very sophisticated and experimental fusion energy devices called JET and its soon to be built ITER. Here's an explanation from the article about this really cool sustainable energy device:
JET (Joint European Torus), located at Culham, UK, is a an experimental fusion energy device in which, by creating temperatures greater than that of the sun (around 100 million degrees C) and applying magnetic confinement, fusion of atomic nuclei takes place. The next stage of fusion technology development has started with the building of ITER, which is eight times larger in volume than JET. ITER is one of the most challenging scientific experiments ever undertaken, leading initially to a trial generating station followed by full-scale generators, supplying fusion energy to the grid by the end of this century.
There is a mention of 3DVIA Composer too, where one of the suppliers (Oxford Technologies) explains how it has enabled more effective communication and understanding of how complex systems interact, augmenting all of the production efficiencies they have gained by adopting DS software.
Overall, as a guy who studied sustainability in university, I think it's a pretty interesting application of technology, and I'm thrilled that we're a part of it!
Ever had the need to document something in 3D, but not had the data in electronic, 3D format? Do you wish there was a better way to work with that data without having to spend hours re-modeling it in CAD?
Creaform used an innovative hand held scanning approach to combine existing CAD and physical data into a solution to meet a very demanding timeline to produce interactive assembly instructions for an aircraft OEM.

Did you know that you can merge multiple assemblies into one Composer project? And did you also know that there are alignment tools to help you get your parts located where you need them? And how about some other powerful tools for moving, aligning, and adjusting component positions?
Check out this week's video tip! (And if you have a good internet connection, hit the "HQ" button and watch the video in full screen mode.)
Apologies for the little, er, technical glitch there the past few days. Our DSN woes have been resolved, and both the blog and the forum are back online.
Which reminds me to tell you that we have some big chages in store for the blog. I will be kicking the soap box aside, and giving you -- our valuable readers -- a better way to dialog with us. We'll also be re-categorizing everything to make finding those video tips much easier too.
Stay tuned for those changes, coming this summer.
