Future "Innovate or Die" Seminars On Tap

The first run of Return on Innovation (aka "Innovate or Die") Seminars in North America were attended by hundreds of executives, managers, engineers, and designers that are concerned about injecting innovation into their product development cycles and delivering great products to market. SDRC expects to offer a number of opportunities for you to attend an ROI seminar in the future. Watch this space:

A Heavy Tutorial on Weight Versus Mass

The concept of "mass" is often confused with the concept of "weight." The distinction between the two units of measure and between the two physical concepts should be understood to intelligently use I-DEAS. This article will hopefully help explain this distinction, why I-DEAS cares about it and why you should too.

The search engine included with the new HTML-based online Help Library in I-DEAS, does not work the same as Internet server-based search engines. Here's how to "Get There Faster" when you're searching in the Help Library:
