Each of these simulation techniques has its place for fluid problems. Here’s how to pick which is best for yours. Finite element analysis (FEA) is primarily used to predict how external forces affect ...

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuous Composites (CCI) has been awarded a $1.9 million Tactical Funding Increase (TACFI) contract from the U.S. Air Force to develop a ...

Altair SimSolid, Altair’s structural analysis tool for rapid design iterations, provides an alternative to traditional finite element analysis methodology. Rather than requiring model simplification ...

Clutches intermittently engage machines drives with driven parts. They’re used extensively in industrial machinery as well as in passenger vehicles where they connect engines to gearboxes. For the ...

I need to purchase or put together a system for running FEA simulations ASAP. This is in an academic environment so cost is an issue. The software I plan to run doesn’t scale well beyond 4 cores and ...

HOT SEAT INTERVIEW: Will your smartphone break if you drop it? Will your car crumple if you crash it? Will the beams that hold up your roof buckle under extreme weather conditions? It’s these ...

Finite element analysis (FEA) is the process of simulating the behavior of an object or assemblage of objects when it's exposed to specified physical conditions, which can be stable or varying. FEA ...

I need to purchase a new desktop/workstation for running finite element simulations. I am leaning towards buying a prebuilt system because of time limitations. I think I only need a single socket ...

Rubber parts such as silicone diaphragms, septums, seals, valves, tubing, and balloons are critical components in many of today’s medical devices. FEA can be an excellent tool for design engineers to ...

It's true, says Ted Pawela, an application engineer with MSC.Software, Santa Ana, Calif. (mscsoftware.com). "By taking advantage of Microsoft developments, in particular its Web-based platform and ...
