ST-RISK is a structural risk assessment application for Microsoft® Windows© that is powerful and versatile, yet easy to use. It evaluates the economic risk to an individual structure based on various earthquake scenarios. What makes ST-RISK unique in the industry is that it combines powerful and well-recognized seismic hazard procedures with structural engineering analysis. Whereas other risk software on the market today uses historical data to evaluate large suites of buildings or geographical areas, ST-RISK allows a building owner, insurance risk manager or structural engineer to obtain a more precise estimate of potential loss for a single structure. What\’s New In Version 4.42This version also includes a minor fix to calculating hazard from fault seismic sources. In previous version if...

Rockwell ARENA 11 New Release. This fifth edition of Simulation with Arena has the same goal as the first four editions: to provide a comprehensive treatment of simulation concepts in general and the Arena simulation software in particular. It starts by having the reader develop simple, well-animated, high-level models and then progresses to advanced modeling and analysis. Statistical design and analysis of simulation experiments is integrated with the modeling, reflecting the joint nature of these activities in good simulation studies. The objective is to help the reader carry out effective simulation modeling, analysis, and projects using the Arena simulation system. An informal, tutorial writing style is used. Included are instructions to download the current version of the Arena student software...

Scaleform GFx is a high-performance proven visual user interface (UI) design middleware solution that allows developers to leverage Flash® Studio to quickly and inexpensively create modern GPU-accelerated animated UI and vector graphics, without learning new tools or processes. GFx creates a seamless visual development path from Flash Studio directly into the game UI.   In addition to UI, developers can use GFx to display Flash content inside the 3D environment as animating textures mapped onto 3D surfaces—think Doom 3 screens or Flash UI on 3D objects. Likewise, 3D objects and video can be displayed inside Flash UI. As a result, Scaleform GFx works well as either a stand-alone UI solution or as a way to enhance an existing front-end game framework.  ...

Emergent Game Technologies（以下简称Emergent）於2009/03/25-27在旧金山游戏开发者大会GDC，首次公开推出专为游戏设计量身打造的最新产品Gamebryo Lightspeed，这将是游戏开发技术的一个飞跃，不仅能帮助开发人员快速建立游戏原型，从而简化游戏开发与数据驱动的框架，并且全新升级运算速度与即时更新，为游戏产业打开另一波新视野。同时Emergent也宣布Gamebryo Lightspeed即将到访中国，并为中国的游戏开发者做更详细的介绍。 此外，特别值得提出的是，GameBryo LightSpeed已经和Scaleform GFX 3.0做了完美的集成，用户无需为此再做任何程序接口方面的开发工作。 关於GAMEBRYO LIGHTSPEED 　　Emergent的宗旨主要是创建能灵活并强大的游戏引擎，并提供众多的设计方案，使开发人员可以把重点放在创造游戏，而不需要耗费时间在测试引擎。由於目前市场上的游戏引擎，仅提供了垂直方向分段开发游戏的选项，然而全新版本的Gamebryo Lightspeed允许开发者在PC平台或者任何Console平台上创建任何的游戏类型，包括从游戏原型到最后的游戏产品，这对游戏开发者带来极大的优势，同时缩短项目时间及降低开发的风险。 　　Gamebryo Lightspeed支持快速迭代的数据驱动的处理方式，方便用户不需要重新编译代码，就能实时看到修改或创建游戏对象的特性、参数和外观后的结果。 　　Gamebryo Lightspeed以先进的脚本和工具使开发团队里的每个成员，在开发过程可以更有效率。游戏设计人员可以直接执行和尝试各种游戏可玩性的改变；美术人员可以将内容放至进去，并即刻看到当前编译版本环境的具体效果；程序员可以依照任何需求，尽情的添加内容；制作人可以无需等待每天完成的版本编译，就能够看到游戏开发内容的当前状态。 过去的观念告诉我们，一个专业级的游戏引擎，如果必须要同时具备又快、又好、又便宜的条件，几乎是不可能的，但现在Gamebryo Lightspeed的出现，将一切不可能化为可能的！ 关於Scaleform GFx 　　Scaleform GFx是一个高效用户(UI)界面解决方案，可用来快速创建针对硬件加速矢量扩展图形的用户界面。Scaleform GFx支持Flash Studio，美术人员无需再去掌握新的界面或动画开发工具，同时它还提供从Flash Studio直接到游戏用户界面的无缝视觉开发路径。 　　GFx 3.0包含一个新的技术CLIK，通过CLIK帮助没有专门Flash工程师的客户，快速创建和修改游戏界面，并且其适合开发复杂的MMO 用户界面，这将大大降低客户使用GFX 3.0的门槛，缩短开发周期，降低开发的技术风险。Product:Emergent Gamebryo LightSpeed 3.0 Lanaguage:English Platform:/WinNT/2000/XP Size:4.45G
