PTC: A Buyer's Guide for Concept Design Solutions When it comes to selecting a concept design tool and vendor how do you make sense of all the different choices on the market?
Download A Buyers Guide to Selecting Concept Design Software for a detailed overview of the key criteria you need to make the right decisions when selecting a concept design software and vendor. More>>
Whitepaper: Overcoming the Barriers Imposed by Geometry by CIMdataCAE analysts often face the burden of poor quality and over-detailed geometric models in preparing finite element meshing for analysis. A solution must be able to import many CAD formats and also easy to learn for non-CAD experts. Download this white paper to learn how McCormick-Stevenson and Ramboll A/S use SpaceClaim to clean up CAD models in new ways, saving a lot of product development time in the process. Download
NEW - Free Multiphysics Presentations CDOver 400 contributions to the all-new Worldwide Edition of the COMSOL Conference CD are now available! This compilation features over 700 papers, posters and presentations that illustrate your colleagues ground-breaking research and projects in engineering simulations.

How to land a rover on Mars? Use MSC Adams.
|
Suppose you were going to spend a couple of billion dollars to send a mobile science laboratory to Mars.
How would you land it on the surface?
No matter what answer you might come up with, you'd need to do some serious dyamic simulation of the process. After all, you wouldn't want to spend your billions, only to find out that you'd gotten it wrong.

How was the Mars rover Curiosity designed? With Siemens PLM software
Last Sunday night, I watched the live video feed from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, as the rover Curiosity descended through the Martian atmosphere, and landed on the planet's surface.
NASA called the process of landing the Curiosity "7 minutes of terror." The whole process was completely automated-and all that the people at JPL (or the tens of thousands of us who were watching over the web) could do was wait, helplessly, as the drama played out More>>

Open Source CAD? No. Free CAD? Yes.
If you're looking for a really great open source CAD program, you're going to be disappointed. Many people, individually and in groups, have tried to build quality open source CAD programs. And none have come close to succeeding. At least, at the level where they challenge the capabilities of commercial products. More>>

Sensable Phantom and Freeform: Sculpting for engineers
In the June issue of Design World, I wrote about Organic Shape Modeling for Engineers. In that article, I said that Geomagic's Sensable Phantom haptic devices, when used in conjunction with their Freeform and Freeform Plus modeling software, are arguably the "gold standard for organic shape modeling."
