‘Rotary Stage’

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 E2S adds trumpet horns to range of warning devices from European Safety Systems: "The Spectra range of industrial warning devices from European Safety Systems (E2S) now includes 100dB and 110dB trumpet horns designed to provide an effective penetrating low-frequency buzzer sound.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Softinway - take a look at Softinway to exhibit at Power Gen International which says: "Softinway will participate in the Power Gen International 2009 event at the Las Vegas Convention Center 8-10 December.".

Take a look also at the news release from ITW Plexus, Designing joints and structural adhesives, as well as CNC router reduces time to market from Micromech, and Night Vision plus makes driving in the dark safer from Bosch Automotive OE Division.
