Apple
may have been UGS' First Mac OS X Customer for Unigraphics
/ NX - Famed Mac and iPod Maker a User of Highend CAID Products
|
Apple Develops Own Products with Alias and Unigraphics Tools
UGS's big
news this week of Mac OS X support for its NX
product suite and Teamcenter applications and services can't
be under-estimated or undervalued by the loyal Mac constituency.
This may have been an effort spanning a half a decade or
more.
Not
in terms
of
how long it took UGS to developer these tools for OS X, but
for how long Apple may have wanted them.
According to Paul Kunkel's tale of the famous but secretive
Apple
IDg (Industrial Design Group) -- always a group located
off-campus in a nondescript and forgotten building, not
too far from Jobs' office but not too close to the main
campus -- Apple began using 3D CAD for their industrial design
in the 90's. This included the use of Unigraphics.
As the tale goes, it all started with the "Blackbird" project,
later to become the PowerBook 500 series. This was in 1994.
Apple had just made the jump to PowerPC chips but the Blackbird
laptops were based on older Motorola 68xx processors.
|
|
It
turns out that designer Ken Provost, a self-taught engineering
type began using 3D CAD as a way to work out the complex
curves on the Blackbird project. He did his 3D drawings on
a Silicon Graphics Indigo II workstation running Unigraphics
and Alias software. Unigraphics was used for the solid modeling
while Ken used Alias software for the B-spline curvature-based
geometry.

Paul
Kunkel's book and tale are very interesting. Apple
IDg apparently kept using many of these tools over the years,
adding to them tools such as Ashlar-Vellum and VectorWorks.
PLM for Apple
These days Apple would need to develop its products -- or
at least desire to -- using a complete PLM (product lifecycle
management) suite of applications. If Unigraphics has been
continuously used at Apple IDg since the early 90's, it makes
perfect sense that Apple may have been one of its primary
customers asking for the tools to be supported on OS X. And
it also makes sense that they may have had a private PowerPC
version of NX for a few years now.
There is solid evidence that Apple still uses Unigraphics
as part of its development pipeline. CAD drawings of its
iPod
line
of digital music players indicate they were created with
Unigraphics. A "UG Generated" mark is prominently displayed
near the title-block of numerous PDF
CAD documents available
to iPod accessory developers and viewable on
Apple's developer website. A reader has pointed this out
and claims it means Unigraphics.
It was two
years ago that UGS announced Parasolid modeling kernel
API support for Mac OS X at the COFES 2004 event in
Scottsdale, Arizona. UGS was a title sponsor. It was that
year that Apple hosted a tech suite at the event for the
first time. Apple is superbly talented at keeping secrets
and at that time would only tell us that a major customer
of the modeling kernel needed native OS X support. Apple
itself was thrilled about this news but we were beginning
to wonder what ever became of it until the news broke this
week of UGS' plans for Mac OS X support.
The PowerPC - Intel Twist
One would think UGS would just wait until the Intel transition
was over to announce support for OS X. It is unusual timing
to announce the availability for such highend PowerPC software.
Unless of course they have been developing this version for
a long time. Say, since COFES 2004!
This suggest UGS may actually have had several parts of
the NX product suite fully PowerPC (Mac OS X) ready for some
time. And that Apple may have been using it privately. Just
another interesting set of facts and circumstances related
to this exciting
announcement.
