SolidProfessor, a SolidWorks Solution Partner focused on delivering the very best bundled training solution for SolidWorks and SolidWorks related software announced today that it will demonstrate new Learning Management System v2 and 2008 Course Content at the SolidWorks World 2008 Conference, being held from Jan. 20 through Jan. 23, 2008 in San Diego. The tenth annual SolidWorks World Conference brings together designers, engineers, managers, and partners to discuss ideas, trends, and the technology shaping the future of mechanical design.
As a SolidWorks Solution Partner, SolidProfessor has designed the first of its kind "Search-On-Demand" productivity add-in which is integrated directly inside the SolidWorks design environment and makes it easier than ever for CAD professionals to get their design questions answered fast. SolidProfessor has course topics ranging from Core and Advanced Concepts Bundles to specialized courses on Advanced Surfacing, COSMOSWorks, Routing, Sheet Metal, PhotoWorks, CAMWorks and SolidCAM among others.
Also released recently is a website of archived tutorials from over 100 client submitted questions to their Ask SolidProfessor newsletter. Course lessons for Update Training 2008 are now available in German, French, Dutch and Spanish with more courses on the way.
"This being our fourth SolidWorks World we're ready for a great event where SolidWorks users from around the globe will have a chance to network and develop their design skills together. This year we will be showing our complete library of 2008 content, introducing our Learning Management System for 2008 which runs as a SolidWorks Add-in and presenting 2008 Update Training in German, French, Spanish and Dutch," said David Ptak, President, SolidProfessor.
"SolidProfessor has built a strong reputation for delivering exactly the self-paced multimedia training design engineers need," said SolidWorks Director of Marketing and Alliances Efrat Ravid.
"Together, SolidProfessor and SolidWorks 2008 give engineers the innovative tools, design power, and ease of use to design better products."
The SolidWorks Partner Program features products and services that complement SolidWorks solutions. Certified Gold Products are fully integrated with SolidWorks and provide users with instant access to the partner application within the SolidWorks window. Certified CAM and Solution Partner products offer a variety of integration methods with SolidWorks software, including direct import of native SolidWorks files, the SolidWorks application programming interface (API), and established industry standard file formats. SolidWorks has more partners in the mid- range CAD market than any competing technologies, with more than 600 companies worldwide participating in the SolidWorks Partner Program.
MasterControl - another partner on display
MasterControl Inc., a global provider of GxP process management software solutions, will introduce and demonstrate its new PDM Connectors and Bill of Materials (BOM) solution at the SolidWorks World 2008 Conference.
As a SolidWorks Research Partner, MasterControl connects 3D CAD systems with the highest level of document control to create an ideal master management system. The new MasterControl PDM Connectors streamline collaboration and redlining on PDF drawings while insuring that the PDF copies in the MasterControl document management system stay in sync with the native files in the PDM solution. MasterControl’s PDM Connectors™ interface with the most commonly used PDM solutions in the industry, including PDMWorks from SolidWorks and PTC’s Pro/IntraLink and Windchill.
“Countless product development engineers working in the life science environment utilize both MasterControl software and SolidWorks tools,” said Matthew M. Lowe, MasterControl product manager, medical device expert.
“Seamlessly linking our solutions simplifies the overall product development culture and, in the long run, will vastly improve the quality of new products being developed.”
The new, flexible MasterControl BOM solution controls the multiple iterations of a BOM generated during the design process and enables users to exchange BOM data with suppliers, buyers and planners. MasterControl BOM insures that all departments have an accurate, updated view of the revision levels of every component in its particular configurations. The robust software solution includes all the tools necessary to simplify and standardize BOM management across departments while still retaining the document security for which MasterControl is renowned. The BOM solution and PDM Connectors are part of the integrated MasterControl solution suite and have been specifically tailored to increase the efficiency with which design teams are able to manage and collaborate on design files.
“Engineers don’t have time to worry about software complexity or the potential problems of jumping between separate applications,” said SolidWorks Director of Marketing and Alliances Efrat Ravid.
“Combining MasterControl’s document management and collaboration functionalities with SolidWorks’ intuitive 3D CAD design enables engineers to focus on innovation, quality, and efficiency instead of how to use the software.”
