A group of hollow and solid cylinders once met at the top of a ramp. “Hey, solid cylinders,” said the hollow cylinder, “Want to race?”. So, it began – a battle for the ages, and an outcome so impressive that we recreated it using an Adams simulation. As you can tell, the hollow cylinder did …
The convergence of mechatronic and system-based engineering with advances in data management, artificial intelligence (AI), machine-learning (ML) and increasingly connected manufacturing is challenging traditional industrial product development and manufacturing processes. Used well, these technologies offer new opportunities for rapid innovation and increased productivity. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) has been in existence for over half a century …
We are proud to announce Volvo Car Corporation Sweden as the winner of the first MSC Nastran Excellence Award, which recognizes the engineering and design innovation of its users around the world! MSC Nastran is a widely used, trusted, and accurate Finite Element Analysis (FEA) structural simulation tool. It has been the industry standard since …
Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division, has today launched 100%EV, a strategic initiative to drive innovation in eMobility. In the wake of seventy-three countries announcing net-zero carbon targets by 2050, the automotive industry must now both meet legislative ambitions and develop winning models. Hexagon’s initiative promises to enable rapid innovation towards new classes of vehicle that outperform …
Today’s CAE-led product developments require to cope with Multiphysics problems to deliver innovative and comfortable new products. While the technical skillset of individuals is constantly expanding, computational aided engineering (CAE) tools need to allow them to efficiently deploy multidisciplinary numerical analyses. In aeroacoustics designs workflows, acoustics and noise have been commonly treated as secondary concerns, …
In the natural world fluids act in harmony with structures, fluids with acoustics, fluids with multibody dynamics, fluids with magnetics, fluids with electrics, and all in a myriad of complex, interactive and very complicated ways. Numerical approximations such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have to grapple with these phenomena; frequently with simplistic empirical models to …
