We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Finite Element Analysis",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release PLM plans for a safe seat from
Applied PLM Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "Safety, style, and utility rule the child seat, pushchair and travel system market, and Britax uses Catia V5 to excel in all departments while increasing productivity".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Chocking system protects against wave damage from
Furmanite International: "PVC-proofed nylon SmartShim slips are filled with a polyurethane resin, with sufficient elasticity to absorb the wave effects while holding the riser or caisson firmly in place within the guides".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Micromech
concerning its Danaher electric actuators
- take a look at Converting from hydraulics to an electric actuator
which says: "Micromech Technical Director Stirling Morley debunks some of the myths about electric linear actuators that have slowed their adoption in many applications".
Take a look also at the news release from AV Technology, Structural monitoring improves life on the buses,
as well as FEA software extends to new fields from Abaqus,
and Software analyses tyre designs from Dassault Systemes.
