‘Corrosive Environment’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release NI expands HIL simulation platform from National Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "National Instruments (NI) has announced the expansion of its hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation platform, which includes numerous products to optimise embedded system validation. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release CPS launches Corob First 70 automatic dispenser from CPS Color: "CPS Color, a supplier of advanced tinting systems, has launched the Corob First 70 automatic dispenser.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Simio - take a look at Liberty University wins simulation software grant which says: "Simio has awarded a USD300,000 (GBP180,000) simulation software grant to the School of Engineering and Computational Science at Liberty University in Virginia.".

Take a look also at the news release from Dassault Systemes, Dassault Systemes releases latest PLM 2.0 platform, as well as GFM416 provides onsite biogas measurement from Gas Data, and Comsol release accesses cluster-compute power from Comsol.
