‘Prototype’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
NI devices suit extended-temperature operation from
National Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "National Instruments (NI) has unveiled four extended-temperature versions of the NI Single-Board RIO devices, featuring a -40C to +85C operating temperature range.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Diamond actuators suit aerospace applications from
Noliac: "Noliac has announced that an actuator design has been developed for active rotor control through the use of trailing edge flaps. ".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Ansys
- take a look at Ansys software verifies Wimbledon roof design
which says: "Ansys has announced that its software was used to verify parts of the design of the retractable roof over Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon, London. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Innova Systems, SolidWorks enables squeezable bottle design,
as well as Solidworks helps create low-cost infant incubator from SolidWorks Corporation,
and Autodesk Algor Simulation 2010 products launched from Autodesk.
