When you were still using Windows XP, there were tons of commercials on TV to remind you to upgrade to Windows 7 and as of more recently, Windows 8. Or perhaps you remember billboards advertising the latest technologies behind the new 2014 model of your’03 Honda Accord. Now you may or may not care for the latest set of Dr. Dre Beats headphones that your son blocks you out with, or the iPhone 5S your daughter can’t eat dinner without, but how do YOU stay in the scoop with what YOU care about: engineering software?
Your CAD/FEA/CAM programs are the bread and butter of your company. Although you may not be the person in charge of purchasing, as a user of the software that’s crucial to your company’s success, you might have more influence than you think. And how do you know you’re using the latest and greatest?
Do you go to conferences? Have any magazine subscriptions? At the very least, you should subscribe to Saratech’s emails, where we inform you of the latest industry-changing enhancements to the Siemen’s suite of PLM software. Hopefully you are aware of Synchronous Technology, which made the way engineers design their products more intuitive and efficient. Our webinars and emails keep you in the loop of the latest enhancements, such as Solid Edge being able to generate a frame structure using a body’s edges, or that FEMAP can now automatically stitch a mid-surfaced model, or NX CAE has automatic fluid domain creation for your CFD models.
Sure, you may find yourself reading and then deleting some things that don’t relate to you, but do you really want to risk missing out on something that may save you and your company valuable time and money? Be sure to stay tuned to our newsletters, webinars, test drives, and training classes to save you from headaches later on, kind of like having to ask your daughter to set up Bluetooth in your new car since you didn’t ask for help from the salesman.
