Use the Autodesk Solar Radiation Technology Preview for Revit 2011 to understand and quantify solar radiation on various surfaces of your conceptual building model. Using the Autodesk Solar Radiation Technology Preview during the conceptual design stage of your project can help you make informed design decisions about building shape, orientation, and shading strategies early on when changes are least expensive. The technology preview uses the geometry of conceptual massing elements from Revit and calculates the amount of solar radiation hitting the selected surfaces of the massing shapes, based on location and weather data. It is possible to display the distribution and availability of solar radiation over an entire building or even a city block. This can be particularly useful when considering shading requirements or assessing the best areas to place photovoltaics for maximum collection. The Autodesk Solar Radiation Technology Preview is modeless and delivers an integrated experience within the Revit environment. This experience is made possible by the Analysis Visualization Framework, Dynamic Model Update, and other new API’s made available with the Autodesk Revit 2011 family of products.

    Google Earth (http://earth.google.com)   
    For many, Google Earth (GE) is a virtual globe with world coverage of satellite and air photo imagery. Users can download and use the free program to view their home and neighbourhood, take a peek at volcanoes and islands unheard of before. With image resolution varying from 15cm to 15m, some lucky users can zoom right into their backyard and use the ruler tool to measure the size of their pool and their neighbour's pool as well. In fact, many hours can be spent exploring what Google has to offer - 3-D buildings, Digital Elevation Models (DEM) of mountains, and even non-imagery features such as weather, places of interest, traffic information, and much more. What many internet users don't know however is that GE in fact offers much more than what can be seen on the surface. By using some of GE's tools, one can create maps and views with limitless features. One can customize the virtual globe to display anything. Users can add their own imagery, their own GIS files and superimpose them over GE's own features.

    SCAN2CNC (http://www.freecad.com/files/Scan2cnc.zip)   
    'P>'CAN2CNC which allows you to scan a line drawing and convert that to G-Code so that the drawing can be cut by a CNC machining centre. (Even photographs can be approximated; but that is stretching it) There are plenty of utilities that will convert a plot file to G-Code but this one is novel in that it converts a scanned image of a drawing into G-Code without the need to vectorise or trace anything. The whole process is done by hardware & software. The steps required are: '/P> 'UL> 'LI>'can the drawing '/LI> 'LI>Load the scan into a graphics program such as Corel '/LI> 'LI>Print the drawing specifying the Epson LX80 dot matrix printer. '/LI> 'LI>Print to File (so you do not need to have that old fashioned printer, just the driver which comes with Windows). '/LI> 'LI>Process the print file through 'can2CNC which will translate the printer file into G-Code. The toolpath will replicate the printer file so it will be raster cuts in the x direction with y axis step overs between cuts.'/LI>'/UL> 'P>You can scale & manipulate the image in Corel if you wish & the print file can be scaled as it is translated into G-Code. '/P> 'P>Utilities included in this package: '/P> 'UL> 'LI>PADDER which inserts blank spaces between the elements of a line of G-Code. N24G01X12.357Y-8.278Z-4.50F300. becomes: N24 G01 X12.357 Y-8.278 Z-4.50 F300. '/LI> 'LI>WRAPPER which wraps a normal planar toolpath around a cylinder so that XYZ becomes XAZ. You specify the relationship between y movement and A axis rotation. '/LI> 'LI>LIFTER. It lifts a toolpath off the XY plane onto the YZ plane. This is needed if you have a normal 3-D CAD/CAM program and a right angle adapter for your VMC. '/LI> 'LI>RELATER. This converts a Fanuc Absolute (G90) file to a Relative (G91) file. This is often needed when a file uses calls to subroutines.'/LI>'/UL> 'P>These utilities are freeware and the Clarion 2.1 source code is included.

    Balloon (http://www.manusoft.com/software/freebies/lisp.html)   
    This program creates leaders and encloses the leader text in a 'Balloon'. If the text has fewer than 3 characters, the balloon is a DONUT; if longer, the balloon is an ELLIPSE. Both text and balloon continue at the same angle as the last line in the leader. Editable parameters let you put the balloon on a specific layer, adjust the gap between text and balloon and the balloon's lineweight, and specify whether the leader is a block or individual entities.

    Fedem Free Edition (http://support.fedem.com/FreeDownload/fedemFreeEdition.php)   

    Vendor Description: Fedem Free Edition is a limited version of The Fedem Simulation Software R4.2.

    The Fedem Simulation Software provides both a technology platform and an engineering framework for virtual testing of complex mechanical assemblies with very high result accuracy and an efficient workflow. This is typically required for product verification or virtual sign-off purposes in a professional industrial engineering environment. In such applications, where expensive and time consuming full scale physical testing is the only alternative, it is necessary for the engineers to quickly and easily obtain accurate information on both dynamic and structural properties of a mechanical design. Also, to ensure sufficient accuracy, the simulation solver must account for the mutual dependencies between dynamic properties at the system level and structural flexibility at the component level. These requirements can only be efficiently satisfied through a non-linear structural dynamics approach.

    In Fedem, a non-linear structural dynamics approach is utilized in order to simultaneously solve structural deformations and 3D motion dynamics in the time domain.

    Integrated and efficient workflow.

    Finite element models are imported from NASTRAN bulk data deck files ensuring compatibility with FE meshing tools.

    Mechanism drive functions can be linked with external data files in MTS RPC III/Pro, nCode DAC or ASCII format. Simulations driven with such external data can be switched from one event to another simply by changing a file reference. Simulation results can be exported in MTS RPC III/Pro, nCode DAC or ASCII format files.

    Durability assessment with nCode.

    Multi-event duty cycle analysis.

    The full version of Fedem is a flexible multibody dynamics package, while the Free Edition leaves out the flexibility options, phone and mail support and a few other options.
