The Smart Factory was the key highlight at this year’s MSC Software Japan Users Conference, held in Shinagawa, Tokyo. To fully realize the Smart Factory, which is at the core of Industry 4.0, smart design environments for the rapid design and development of products are essential. To be able to achieve the highest competitiveness in …
The first manned moon landing fifty years ago remains an inspiring example of human engineering, courage and determination. Today we’re still benefiting from the innovation it unleashed across multiple disciplines as the world looks anew at space exploration. On 20 July 1969 the Apollo 11 spacecraft made the first manned moon landing. Fifty years later …
We are pleased to announce a partnership with Melbourne-based RMIT University’s Advanced Manufacture Precinct, a center for developing the next generation of engineers, designers and technicians, implementing the next wave of manufacturing in Australia.

This week marked an important EU mandate for electric vehicles, requiring all new electric vehicles to emit a noise at low speeds. Read how Actran is helping OEMs, such as Hyundai, by optimizing APAS system design. At moderate to high speeds, the only external noises typically generated by electric vehicles are caused by wind resistance …
By Brian Shepherd, Senior Vice President Software Solutions, Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division For the first time in history it’s now possible for factories to harness the full potential of their manufacturing and simulation data. If we look backwards to what was called ‘Industry 3.0’, factories in the 20th century were focused on simple automation of …
When it comes to validating and refining Hardware in the Loop (HiL) or Driver in the Loop (DiL) test systems, early in the development process, real-time simulation is an essential part of the process. Real-time simulations provide an opportunity to connect physical components and virtual models in a virtual test environment. High performance computing and …
