How to ensure reliable but affordable Structural CAD Conversion solutions?
In order to know more about the Structural CAD Conversion solutions we must understand its meaning. If we go in little detail then we can say that it is a process that involves highly advanced design software technologies and reliable methods for translation of data from one CAD system to another CAD file format. During the process of translation different parameters are taken into consideration such as surface, solid, wireframe, metadata, assembly structure and many other forms of attributes.
Here is the complete information on structural CAD Conversion and how one can ensure reliable but affordable solutions as well as some information about Clash Detection Services.
Different types of Structural CAD Conversion solutions
There are mainly three types and here are those three types mentioned below:
- The first one is based on direct CAD system import and export.
- The second one is based on direct 3rd party CAD translators.
- The third ones are basically intermediate data exchange formats.
With so many different types of solutions available one can very well imagine that how flexible and efficient these solutions are and as the entire system becomes more flexible the more are the chances of increase in its popularity.
What all points need to be considered before hiring such services?
Though there are many architectural firms all over the world that specialize in this software solutions but one must consider some basic and common points before hiring such services. Here are some of those basic points and knowledge of which can really prove to be beneficial for your design.
- The first point that you need to keep in your mind is to clear your mind from all the diversions. For example if you are planning to build an educational institute then you need to search for companies that specialize in educational institution designing and the same way if you are looking for designing for medical institute then you need to get in touch with someone who had already done work in the related field.
- You also need to keep this thing in mind that automobile CAD solutions are totally different from architectural solutions. By doing this bifurcation one can easily find the right and concerned solution provide which will not only save the precious time but will also prove to be cost effective solution provider.
Now it is time to search for perfect vendor
- Once you are clear about your thought process, it is now time to go for searching affordable Structural CAD Conversion solutions and you can find them through internet. Here one thing needs to be urgently considered and that is to lay some focus on Clash Detection Services.
- The main aim of the clash detection is to ensure that all the points and spaces that are prone to some kind of clash must be considered and the same should be thoroughly discussed during the initial designing procedure.
- Take for example while designing the sewerage and water flow structure one needs to take complete care of entire design and all needs must be satisfied in a balanced manner.
Hence by ensuring all the above mentioned points one can definitely find perfect solutions and the final outcome delivery is going to be magnificent and completely error free.

Rinspeed imagines the Tesla Model S as a self-driving ‘living room on wheels’
We’ve seen some pretty amazing concept cars come from Rinspeed in the past, but this one has to be one of our favorites. On display at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show early next month, the XchangE turns the Tesla Model S into a “living room on wheels.” The autonomous vehicle will not only drive itself, but is equipped with a 32-inch 4k monitor and reclining seats to make you feel like you’re cruising around in a private jet rather than a four-door sedan.
The intense luxury doesn’t stop at the television. A built-in espresso machine keeps you powered up for the ride, and If you’re traveling for work rather than play, the vehicle’s “Business-to-Car” platform ensures you not only have access to all the web services you need, but are surfing safely. Perhaps the most absurd addition to the vehicle is “the world’s arguably most expensive watch winder,” a $44k Patravi TravelTec wristwatch encased in a transparent globe above the car’s steering column. When the car is stationary, the globe uses the Tesla’s electric engine to wind the stationary watch. It’s all just a concept now, but it’s one we can’t wait to hit the streets in.

Google teaches Glass owners how to mind their manners
Google wants society to welcome Glass with open arms, but that hasn’t proven to be easy when some early owners have run into trouble — there’s a real chance that one bad user could ruin the eyewear’s reputation. To get on the public’s good side, the company has published an etiquette guide that teaches Glass wearers how to be on their best behavior. Many of the tips reflect common sense, but bear repeating: ask before you record anything, avoid wearing the device in risky situations and pay attention to the world around you. However, the guide is also a reminder that you’re effectively Google’s ambassador when you use Glass. The company wants you to politely answer questions from curious onlookers, and it prefers that you take off the eyepiece when asked instead of creating a fuss. The advice is strictly optional, but we’d suggest taking it seriously. It may be the key to social acceptance if Glass ever goes on sale to the general public.

5 Reasons Why I Think HTC Has Turned Itself Around For The Better
HTC was once one of the greats of the Android smartphone movement. Some might argue that they still are, but the Taiwanese company has fallen on financial hardship in recent times. While the end to 2013 proved to be relatively disappointing in terms of getting their financials back in the black, thanks to some unusual product releases, it appears that HTC has begun 2014 with a vengeance, and I think there are several reasons why this is the case.
1. First off, HTC has gone back to its age-old adage of “quietly brilliant”; while it hasn’t seemed like a conscious decision, HTC has apparently abandoned its “Here’s to Change” campaign, spearheaded by star acquisition Robert Downey Jr., and started working in the shadows again. While that’s not to say the campaign and its marquee signing won’t come out again in the near future, but the key for HTC is that they’ve got their heads down and aren’t making a huge amount of noise about what they’re working on or what’s coming next.
2. This point is probably one for contention: some still believe that HTC CEO Peter Chou was and is HTC’s savior while others believe that its founder nearly drove the company into the ground late last year. The fact that he is still at the helm though is great news for HTC; he’s taken the company to great heights before, and while the company’s late 2013 exploits didn’t quite pan out, the consistency of having a united company behind its CEO has an unspoken effect on company stability and morale and Chou’s focus on smartphones now can only bode well for HTC.
3. One of Motorola’s greatest successes while still under the tutelage of Google was launching the Moto Maker service. The ability to customize anything to do with the appearance of your device before shipping it to you was a stroke of genius, and while Motorola never really saw the monetary reaction that the initiative deserved, it’s definitely the right direction that manufacturers should be moving in. Next on the bandwagon is HTC, who has recently launched their own Moto Maker-esque service to design cases for the HTC One. Obviously the next step would be to included devices themselves for purchase there, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction to making HTC more attractive to the market that craves customization options.
4. The news broke today that HTC would be launching its HTC Advantage Initiative, effectively an AppleCare type solution service which gives HTC device owners access to repair services and device support, something than Android manufacturers have traditionally not done particularly well. This is a big differentiating factor for HTC and really puts them in a separate league to the other OEMs who aren’t willing to provide this kind of post-purchase service. It’s important to note that this could be considered quite a big risk to HTC financially to provide this service, but for customers, the peace of mind in knowing you have a screen replacement up your sleeve is pretty much priceless.
5. This last point is mostly related to rumours surrounding the successor to the HTC One, the HTC M8 (or as it may be officially called, The All New One), but if they are true, then it puts HTC in a market leading position. The rumour in particular that I am concerned with is the one which suggests the The All New One will possess a dual-sensor rear camera, something which will provide the device with Lytro Camera-like abilities, i.e. to chance focus in photos after the photo has been taken (to read more about the tech behind this, check this article out). This would give the HTC M8 and HTC a sizable advantage in the camera arena over other Android manufacturers, an area which is typically neglected in favour of increasing the megapixel count for not much gain.
And there you have it: 5 reasons why I think HTC has turned itself around for the better, and I think that this could result in a real push that sees HTC back around the elite of the Android market. While HTC was reported to only have 2% market share at the end of 2013, watch this space as I believe their market share is definitely going to change for the better by the end of 2014.
What do you think: do you think HTC has turned a corner in 2014? Let us know your opinion in the comments.

BlackBerry Messenger now available to phones running Android 2.3
If you see BlackBerry announcing a million or so new users in the next few days, it’s not because the company’s finally seeing an increase in sales. It’s because Alicia Keys’ ex-employer has kept its promise to launch BBM for Android 2.3 on Google Play after weeks of beta testing. The previous Android version of the cross-platform messenger only worked on devices running Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) or higher, but existing users can now reach more of their friends. After all, Gingerbread still powers a large number of Android devices worldwide, since low-cost handsets are especially popular in developing markets. Unfortunately, Windows Phone users still have to sit out BBM convos, but those in Canada can at least demand BlackBerry donuts from friends as consolation.

Lenovo Yoga 2 11-inch now available, starting at $519
If you’ve been itching for a new convertible since CES last month, sales pages for Lenovo’s refreshed Yoga line have started popping up online. Best Buy has the 11-inch Bay-Trail-equipped Yoga 2 listed for $519, while you can buy direct from the manufacturer for $799 — a far cry higher than the previously announced $529. With the yellow-tag store’s lower price, however, comes a caveat: the Yoga 2 doesn’t have a release date just yet. It’s totally up to you if ordering (Lenovo’s ship time is “within three weeks”) the touchscreen’s efficient 2.4GHz Pentium, 4GB of RAM and 500GB hard drive right now is worth the premium though. After all, $280 is still a decent amount of cash.
[Thanks, Patrick!]
