Lenovo Access to simplify remote workstations

2 weeks ago | aecmag.com | Greg Corke

At NXT BLD today, Lenovo unveiled Lenovo Access, a new high-performance remote workstation solution that it claims delivers superior performance and a more seamless user experience than traditional public cloud or VDI services. The global tech company has also refreshed its ThinkStation P2 and P3 desktop workstations with new ‘Gen 2’ models featuring Intel Core Ultra 9 (Series 2) processors with support for Nvidia RTX Pro Blackwell GPUs coming later this year.

Lenovo has refreshed its ThinkStation P2 and P3 desktop workstation lineup with four new ‘Gen 2’ models featuring Intel Core Ultra 9 (Series 2) processors and, coming later this year, Nvidia RTX Pro Blackwell GPUs.The mainstream ISV-certified workstations span a variety of form factors, including compact towers (ThinkStation P2 Tower Gen 2 and ThinkStation P3 Tower Gen 2), small form factor (ThinkStation P3 Ultra SFF Gen 2), and micro (ThinkStation P3 Tiny Gen 2).
From 2D to 3D and back

Widespread adoption of 3D technology and the growth of BIM expertise have transformed AEC – but the most important output for any firm is still documentation — more specifically, the production of 2D drawings. Before the arrival of BIM, CAD represented a way to accelerate workflows, a speedy alternative to manual drafting. It supported quick drawing, fast editing and some automation.

BIM is dominated by monoliths. These are single programmes that aim to support the full workflow from concept to documentation and everything in between. If its intention was to compete head-on with these monoliths, albeit with a new, cloud-based offering, a start-up would probably be inclined to build out a similarly monolithic, do-it-all system. However, it’s starting to look very much like this is not the way that BIM 2.0 will play out.
Dassault Systèmes launches new AEC team bundles

1 month ago | aecmag.com | Martyn Day

Catia sits at the Ferrari end of the manufacturing CAD spectrum. It’s typically used in demanding engineering design projects in the automotive, aerospace and maritime sectors. Here, the CAD package built and sold by Dassault Systèmes demonstrates its strength in handling complex geometries and huge assemblies, with advanced simulation and analysis thrown into the mix. All this means that applying Catia to AEC projects might initially seem like overkill.

Signature architects sit at the cutting edge of design technology and typically use a vast array of digital tools and services to define their buildings. When they can’t find a commercially available software solution to meet their needs, they turn to their own teams of in-house developers to create custom code instead. The code built by these brightest minds might be intended for a specific project, or applied time and time again, on different work.
Review: HP ZBook Ultra G1a / AMD Ryzen AI Max Pro

1 month ago | aecmag.com | Greg Corke

Intel has dominated the mobile workstation sector for decades. Its processors have powered everything from ultra-compact 14-inch models to high-performance 17-inch behemoths. Today, Intel Core chips are almost always paired with discrete Nvidia laptop GPUs. AMD hardly gets a look in. But with the new 14-inch HP ZBook Ultra G1a, and its powerful AMD Ryzen AI Max Pro ‘Strix Halo’ processor, that balance could be starting to shift.
