Aras Named PLM Mindshare Leader by Industry Analyst Firm CIMdata
Aras® was named a “PLM Mindshare Leader” by CIMdata, the leading independent global strategic management consulting and research authority focused exclusively on the PLM market. Aras was recognized in the CIMdata 2017 Executive PLM Market Report based on the company’s industry vision, platform approach, and the impact that Aras is having in the market.
New 3D multi-phase flow simulation technology makes it possible to predict the flow of both oil and water through rocks using only rotary sidewall cores. Doing less with more is a mantra in low-price environments. Reducing reservoir uncertainty is simultaneously a driving need when devising production plans, so its vital to know as much as possible about how much oil is in the ground and how fluids will move through the reservoir rocks.
One of the components of Convergent Modeling is Reverse Engineering. It encompasses a new tab in the Solid Edge interface that also includes the Select and Plane tools as well as Curves and Surfaces. The idea behind Reverse Engineering is that you can take 3D scan data in the form of an STL file, clean up the data, group face types by color, and then create faces over the selections. Finally, you use surfacing operations to enclose a solid. There are automated and manual options so that you can always get your work done.

AMC Bridge’s latest technology demonstration, Similar Parts Search, explores how combining artificial intelligence (AI) with advanced 3D geometric processing can address these challenges and improve the discovery, reuse, and evaluation of structurally similar parts across engineering workflows.
Engineering and manufacturing organizations continue to face challenges when managing large repositories of 3D models, including manual shape comparison, inconsistent similarity assessments, and the time‑consuming navigation of extensive part libraries. Traditional CAD search and manual similarity methods rely heavily on metadata, naming conventions, or subjective human judgment—approaches that do not scale and often produce inconsistent results.
AMC Bridge’s latest technology demonstration, Similar Parts Search, explores how combining artificial intelligence (AI) with advanced 3D geometric processing can address these challenges and significantly improve the discovery, reuse, and evaluation of structurally similar parts across engineering workflows. By leveraging learned geometric representations of 3D models, the POC enables consistent, geometry‑aware similarity detection across large repositories, independent of how parts are named or categorized.
When the founders of AMC Bridge formed our company a quarter century ago, we wanted to help clients with digital transformation – but we realized that technical know-how alone wasn’t enough. We had to develop a deep understanding of our customers – their ambitions, their competition, their existential challenges. What we’ve learned from hundreds of clients while engineering their software ecosystems holds true across enterprises. To move decisively, modern organizations need a secure, open platform that connects data, automates high-value work, and gives stakeholders clear, current context for their next moves.
As software vendors modernize their 3D platforms, transitioning to a reliable and widely adopted geometry kernel becomes essential for improving modeling accuracy, streamlining development, and accelerating innovation. To support organizations on this journey, Siemens Digital Industries Software and AMC Bridge hosted a joint webinar focused on Parasolid implementation. Discover how vendors can speed up product development by leveraging a PLM Components–based ecosystem and collaborating with engineering teams experienced in advanced geometry workflows.
