ABERDEEN, UK, Sept. 9 / PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), a world leader in 2D and 3D design software for the manufacturing, building and engineering, and media and entertainment markets, today announced the availability of AutoCAD Plant 3D 2010, a new software product that brings the proven benefits of model-based design to mainstream plant design projects. Purpose-built for the design, modeling, and documentation of process plants, AutoCAD Plant 3D makes modern 3D design more affordable and accessible to project teams of all sizes. Today's announcement was made at the SPE Offshore Europe Oil & Gas Conference & Exhibition 2009.
Built on the familiar AutoCAD platform, AutoCAD Plant 3D allows project teams to increase productivity, and improve accuracy and coordination of shared information. The vast majority of plant design and engineering projects support the operation, maintenance and expansion of existing facilities. These projects are typically executed by small teams facing tight time and budget constraints. AutoCAD Plant 3D is tailor-made to increase the productivity of these teams by reducing setup time, facilitating straightforward information sharing, and minimizing the impact of changing project information.
Autodesk Sees Strong Customer Adoption of New Flare Visual Effects Software, New Software Promotes Collaboration, Compatibility, Flexibility and Artist Development
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At IBC 2009--Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) announced strong sales worldwide for Autodesk Flare visual effects software and launched Extension 1 for Flare 2010 software (announced separately). First introduced at the National Association of Broadcasters 2009 Convention (NAB) in April 2009 Flare has already been adopted by many customers who are using the Autodesk Flame and Autodesk Inferno visual effects systems. The software-only application shares the Flame and Inferno creative toolset and is an integral part of the Autodesk solution to bridge the gap between 2D and 3D.

"On film and TV projects, Flame and Inferno are established go-to solutions for the most demanding visual effects work," said Stig Gruman, vice president, Autodesk Digital Entertainment Group. "As demand for high-quality visual effects grows and budgets shrink, our clients asked for a way to efficiently expand capacity when using the Flame and Inferno tools they rely on. This inspired us to create Flare. More than ever, post-production houses need to get more work done faster. Flare helps make that possible."

Teeth of sea otters resist damage due to 'stress shielding' by neighbors, prism interweaving (decussation), and self-healing.
"Tooth enamel is inherently weak, with fracture toughness comparable with glass, yet it is remarkably resilient, surviving millions of functional contacts over a lifetime. We propose a microstructural mechanism of damage resistance, based on observations from ex situ loading of human and sea otter molars (teeth with strikingly similar structural features). Section views of the enamel implicate tufts, hypomineralized crack-like defects at the enamel–dentin junction, as primary fracture sources. We report a stabilization in the evolution of these defects, by 'stress shielding' from neighbors, by inhibition of ensuing crack extension from prism interweaving (decussation), and by self-healing. These factors, coupled with the capacity of the tooth configuration to limit the generation of tensile stresses in largely compressive biting, explain how teeth may absorb considerable damage over time without catastrophic failure, an outcome with strong implications concerning the adaptation of animal species to diet." (Chai et al. 2009:7289)
"Teeth are made from an extremely sophisticated composite material which reacts in an extraordinary way under pressure," says Prof. Chai. "Teeth exhibit graded mechanical properties and a cathedral-like geometry, and over time they develop a network of micro-cracks which help diffuse stress. This, and the tooth's built-in ability to heal the micro-cracks over time, prevents it from fracturing into large pieces when we eat hard food, like nuts." (Dr. Herzl Chai, Tel Aviv University's School of Mechanical Engineering)
In a continuing effort to provide high quality products, Autodesk has released AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 Update 1, which fixes or addresses a variety of issues pertaining to AutoCAD Mechanical 2010.
