Autodesk, NI, and UC Berkeley to Jointly Develop Control System Design Workflow

摘要

At NIWeek 2015, Autodesk's vice president of Corporate Strategy Jon Pittman, National Instruments' (NI) Academic Programs Director David Wilson, and University of California, Berkeley's mechanical engineering Professor Emeritus David Auslander joined hands onstage during NI's annual user conference. Their handshake represents Autodesk, NI and UC Berkeley's shared interest to improve the tool chain linking mechanical modeling and system simulation. The aim of the partnership is to make it possible to "take the output of Autodesk Inventor, put it together with Modelica [an object-oriented system modeling language], and feed it into the simulation and control design module in [NI's] LabVIEW," says Wilson.
