ASE has developed an assembly design kit (ADK) that helps customers using ASE’s Fan Out Chip on Substrate (FOCoS) and 2.5D Middle End of Line (MEOL) technologies to make use of the full Siemens HDAP design flow. ASE and Siemens have extended their partnership to include the future creation of a single design platform from FOWLP to 2.5D substrate design. All of these use the Xpedition Substrate Integrator software and Calibre 3DSTACK platform that Siemens acquired from Mentor Graphics.
“By adopting the Siemens Xpedition Substrate Integrator and Calibre 3DSTACK technologies, and through integration with the current ASE design flow, we can now leverage this mutually developed flow to significantly reduce 2.5D/3D IC and FOCoS package assembly planning and verification cycle times by about 30 to 50 percent in each design iteration,” said Dr. C.P. Hung, vice president, ASE Group. “Through the comprehensive design flow, we can now more quickly and easily co-design with our customer
Siemens, MaRS to Accelerate Innovation for Startups in Development of Autonomous, Connected Vehicles
Siemens Digital Industries Software and MaRS Discovery District, a Toronto-based innovation hub, have partnered to provide over 1,400 Canadian science and technology companies with access to Siemens’ Xcelerator™ portfolio of software and services to support and accelerate the development of autonomous and connected vehicle technologies. The design and simulation software can help companies in the MaRS ecosystem conduct early design development and advanced verification of autonomous function and performance systems.
Startup companies are at the forefront of engineering and product innovation and they encounter similar complex design challenges as their larger counterparts, so it’s vital that they build a foundation of digital technology that enable expansion and growth as company needs evolve. Most startups be

The low-tech Flexipump is easy and intuitive to operate.
Using Solid Edge software, the designer was able to refine the design and optimise it for injection moulding.
The Flexipump line assembly. The final product weighs 2.5 kg compared to an original weight of 4.5 kg.
With an initial design which resembled an oversized bicycle pump with a piston and two valves, David Hutton created the
Flexipump
, a highly productive irrigation pump for farmers in the developing world. Specialised software later helped him refine and optimise his design.
David Hutton is now managing director of Hutton Technologies, a social enterprise committed to providing innovative, low-cost, low-maintenance solutions for people in the developing world. His Flexipump design came from an idea he had when he was just 13. It was a simple water pump that would make irrigation easier for farmers in the developing world, and this became the topic of his final year project

Siemens Digital Industries Software (Plano, Texas, U.S.) announces the latest release of Simcenter 3D software, a comprehensive, fully-integrated CAE solution for complex, multidisciplinary product performance engineering. Part of the Xcelerator portfolio, Siemens’ integrated software, services and application development platform, the 2021 release is said to deliver improvements to Simcenter 3D’s simulation efficiency. Enhancements include new simulation types, refinements in accuracy and enhanced performance speed.
The addition of the Simcenter Multimech tool enables automatic generation of the geometry and full mesh separation of macro and microstructural models in order to predict how, when and why failure will occur in the overall part. This includes full represe

Accelerating Productivity through Digital Transformation
In today s world of complex and innovative product designs, OEMs must be able to move faster than their competition while managing program risk. More innovation means more complexity, which in turn, can mean more program risk as these product integration issues can slow down the process and drive up costs.
Companies have realized that aircraft requirements must grow in both total number and rigor if they are to deliver the best and safest possible product. Designing, validating, certifying and delivering aircrafts to market certainly becomes more difficult. In view of this challenge, leaders at aerospace companies are placing more importance on the systems engineering function to identify and manage the requirements, interactions and interfaces that accompany this increased level of complexity.
