Richard,
That is very interesting to know that Alibre takes customers' suggestions so seriously. Back in the early days of CAD, it was only the big-time users who were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on expensive CAD licenses -- companies…

There are 3 buttons on the start page for Alibre, 2 of which are:
CHAT WITH SUPPORT - This is on-line live chat with a real Alibre person (as long as you are in the US)

Richard,
Thanks for your feedback regarding KeyShot as an Alibre add-on. It seems like the software vendors are making lots of extra cash based on add on sales just like a lot of other industries. The airline industry comes to mind with all its extr…

Laura,
Alibre formerly included a rendering package called Alibre Photorender which was not universally popular in the Alibre community. A while ago, they discontinued Photorender in favour of a truncated version of Hypershot, which could actually b…

I understand that there are public, private, and community cloud computing opportunities. If you're engaging in one of these environments, what are the benefits you're realizing? Can you provide tips for best practices?
Are there any Chrysler designers or engineers with longtime CATIA experience who can comment on Fiat's edict to transition Chrysler's thousands of seats of from CATIA to NX Teamcenter? Do you think this a good decision? There are so many variables t…
Having been in the CAE field for a couple of decades now, I know how CAD/CAM designers -- especially newcomers -- appreciate tips that can save time. I have found the following tips and reminders from experts that I have known to be timeless and qui…
Hi Iris,
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your candor. I tend to be a skeptic when I hear a marketing person tout a simulation product as easy to learn, especially if it's supposed to be used for complex analysis. Certainly, this is true for firs…

Creator of the Transition Roadable Aircraft adopts CATIA Analysis and Composites Design to design its beta prototype with delivery expected in 2011.
Any pilots out there? I just reported that Terrafugia, maker of the Transition Roadable Aircraft, is going to use Catia software for design and analysis of its next prototype aircraft. If you click on the site below, you can read the news. My question to pilots: what do you think of the vehicle's capabilities both in the air and on the ground? Do you think a vehicle like this will have widespread appeal? Cost of the plane wasn't mentioned in the press release. That might have something to do wit… Continue
