‘Finite Element Analysis’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Dawn Mini Logger enables in-vehicle diagnostics from HEM Data Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "HEM Data has introduced the Dawn Mini Logger, which fits within the mating OBD (J1962) connector under the dashboard for in-vehicle diagnostics. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Pam-Comfort helps Renault design new seat from ESI Group: "Renault has used ESI's Pam-Comfort system for the preliminary design of a new seat.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from R+W Coupling Technology - take a look at R+W couplings have heavy-duty torque ratings which says: "R+W has introduced BK3 couplings with heavy-duty torque ratings and high-strength conical clamping hubs for high-torque servo gearboxes. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Softinway, Softinway course covers turbomachinery design, as well as Agilent adds J-Bert N4903B to Superspeed USB test from Agilent Technologies Europe, and Maplesoft solution enables fast model development from Adept Scientific.
