‘Reverse Engineering’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Ansys software helps Ferrari improve comfort from Ansys, which we summarised at the time by saying "Italian car manufacturer Ferrari is using software from Ansys to optimise automobile design and performance.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Verderflex Dura pump ensures bubble-free printing from Verderflex: "Peterson Packaging, a Danish printing company, has selected the Verderflex Dura peristaltic pump to gently handle water-based ink.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Jena Rotary Technology - take a look at Jena Tec offers ballscrew repair discount which says: "Jena Tec can repair ballscrews of any make, type or configuration, with whichever type of ballscrew transfer system.".

Take a look also at the news release from Sherborne Sensors, Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers, as well as Liberty University wins simulation software grant from Simio, and Dassault Systemes releases latest PLM 2.0 platform from Dassault Systemes.
