JTOpen TRB 2016 Spring Meeting at Gulfstream
Our meeting got off to a great start with insightful executive welcomes from Jeff Kriede of Gulfstream and Ray Kok of Siemens PLM.
This was followed by Dan Ganser (Gulfstream) who was able to stream and display an entire Gulfstream jet on Active Workspace using a smart phone as a hotspot.

Mike Zink then follwed with an update on our standards activities. Andy and Manuel then closed day one by informing us of the new community site (where this report is posted).
The evening of day one was spent at “The Pirates’ House” where we ate and were entertained.
Day Two started with a workshop run by Jay Nungesser (Siemens) where we created PDFs from JT that drive JT2Go, the free JT viewer. Our group produced from technically rich PDFs.
Adrian Lannin from Microsoft then explained to us the workings of 3MF. It was very interesting and enabled us to consider the role of JT in both creating 3MF and in additive manufacturing. Erwin Argyle has the action item to capture the names of those JTOpen members interested in learning more and Mike Zink has the action item to establish a discussion group.
Ilan Weiter from Ford lead a discussion on JT “Master Model Concepts”. The meeting closed with at 3pm. Gulfstream very kindly arranged a tour of the G650 manufacturing facility, lead by the very passionate David Minning. It truly is a state-of-the-art facility – no drawings – with a digital twin that always reflects the plane as it takes shape.
