CoCreate Software

CoCreate Software was a notable enterprise in the field of computer-aided design (CAD) and product lifecycle management (PLM). Founded in 1985, the company developed a range of software tools primarily for mechanical design and engineering, most famously their 3D CAD software known as CoCreate OneSpace Modeling. Their products were aimed at enabling product development teams to facilitate more flexible and collaborative workflows, enhancing the efficiency of design and manufacturing processes.


The core philosophy behind CoCreate's products was flexibility and real-time collaboration, which set them apart from many other CAD software options available at the time. This flexibility was especially beneficial for companies that demanded rapid design iterations and changes.


Key aspects of their software included:



  1. Direct Modeling: Unlike traditional parametric modeling, CoCreate's direct modeling approach allowed users to directly interact with the geometry of models, making modifications easier without having to manage a complex history of previous design steps.



  2. Collaborative Design: Tools designed for real-time collaboration enabled multiple team members to work on the same project synchronously, promoting more seamless and integrated design workflows.



  3. Integration with PLM: CoCreate provided capabilities to integrate their design tools with broader PLM systems, ensuring that design data could flow smoothly through the entire product lifecycle.




In 2007, the company was acquired by Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC). After its acquisition, CoCreate’s technology and solutions were incorporated into PTC’s broader suite of product development software, particularly their Creo suite of CAD tools which combined both parametric and direct modeling.


Although the CoCreate brand itself has been largely phased out under the PTC umbrella, its technological contributions, particularly in the realm of direct modeling and collaborative design, continue to influence modern CAD and PLM tools.

BHP Signs Charter Contracts with COSCO for Two Ammonia Dual-Fueled Vessels

BHP Signs Charter Contracts with COSCO for Two Ammonia Dual-Fueled Vessels

Australia’s BHP Group has signed contracts with COSCO Shipping Bulk, a subsidiary of COSCO Shipping, for the charter of two ammonia dual-fueled Newcastlemax bulk carriers.The new vessels to be built under the arrangement will be two of only a handful of vessels in the world capable of using ammonia as a marine fuel.The two vessels, expected to be delivered from 2028, will primarily transport iron ore from Western Australia to Northeast Asia.When run on lower or low to zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ammonia, these vessels will be capable of reducing GHG emissions by at least 50% and up to 95% on a per voyage basis compared to a conventionally fueled voyage, according to BHP.

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson announced he has selected the $714.5 million bid from Florida-based Eastern Shipbuilding Group to build three new 160-vehicle hybrid-electric ferries. “We’re restoring domestic service to pre-pandemic levels years ahead of schedule, improving crew retention, and soon will bring our first hybrid-electric vessel into service,” Governor Ferguson said. “After careful consideration and conversations with legislative leaders, I believe Eastern is the best option to build these critically important vessels at a fair cost to our taxpayers.
