‘Finite Element Analysis’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Insertion probes monitor bioproduction process from Stratophase, which we summarised at the time by saying "Stratophase has collaborated with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to develop an insertion probe variant of its Spectrosens system. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers from Sherborne Sensors: "Sherborne Sensors has announced the launch of the T700 series, a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid-state MEMS inclinometers. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from ControlEng Corp - take a look at Servosoft ECM determines energy costs which says: "Servosoft now includes an Energy Cost Model (ECM), which calculates annual and lifetime energy cost, and provides a benefit analysis of adding more capacitance or switching to a regenerative drive. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Simio, Liberty University wins simulation software grant, as well as Dassault Systemes releases latest PLM 2.0 platform from Dassault Systemes, and Ricardo to help develop automatic transmission from Ricardo.
