MBSE or Model Based Systems Engineering is currently the buzz-word within the systems engineering community; and rightfully so! MBSE system models (e.g. SysML) add the ability to have an “authoritative source of truth” to track the state of a system or product throughout … Read More

The risk of oversimplifying materials infrastructure and inputs There are many tasks that involve material data in a product life cycle. As companies look to build their materials knowledge infrastructure, they pull together teams comprising of diverse users of material … Read More

FieldView Express is a CFD post-processor that engineers choose when they must deliver accurate results in ever-faster design cycles. Engineers can use this software to easily produce high quality, portable movies for their presentations. Here are three ways to make … Read More

Thermal modeling can be particularly challenging because setting up your thermal simulation can be different every time. Meanwhile, you seek to balance competing priorities within your design. “It should be lightweight! Durable! Affordable!” the list of hopeful attributes is extensive … Read More

The design of a manufacturing process is iterative in nature. The influential process parameters which can be quantified (E.g. Die radius) are continuously optimized using metal forming simulators coupled with optimization algorithms. This approach is being successfully applied at various … Read More
