Why Does the Rail Industry Use SIMULIA PowerFLOW Fluid Simulation?
PowerFLOW fluid simulation allows engineers to design trains to minimize air resistance, and analyze aerodynamics before wind tunnel testing. Train aerodynamics has a significant impact on energy efficiency and fuel consumption. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation (PowerFLOW) allows engineers to design trains to minimize air resistance, and to analyze aerodynamics long before wind tunnel testing. […]
Structural Performance Evaluation of Foldable Displays
As we see more foldable screens appearing in the market for smartphones and larger devices designers face new types of challenges. We see more foldable screens appearing in the market for smartphones and larger devices. Designers face new types of challenges because foldable displays are typically built with multiple, flexible functional layers, bonded with optically […]
System-on-chip Design: Analyzing and Optimizing Source Synchronous Architecture with Electromagnetic Simulation
Source synchronous architecture is used to enable multiple chiplets to be integrated into a single system-on-chip with low latency. To ensure low error rates, the clock strobe and data channels need to be precisely matched. 2D circuit simulation is not enough for analyzing timing – 3D simulation is necessary to accurately model data propagation through […]
Abaqus Makes an Impact in the World of Biomimicry and Soft Robotics
Scientists have been using Abaqus to develop new materials and machines based on natural designs and structures. Two engineering fields that are advancing rapidly are soft robotics and biomimicry; in fact, the two areas often overlap. Taking inspiration from nature is a concept that has been around for a while, and it is fascinating to […]
Automated Meshing of a Bicycle Frame Using 3DEXPERIENCE
A model of a bicycle frame is meshed using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, in particular the Automated FEM application. Like with any vehicle, safety is extremely important when designing bicycles. The construction must be sturdy enough to support the weight of the rider while still remaining streamlined and lightweight enough to travel at a rapid speed. […]
Simulation for 5G Smartphone FCC Certification
5G FCC certification can be a long process, but simulation can accelerate certification by replacing time-consuming measurements. Every radio device sold in the United States needs FCC certification so that it can operate safely. It is required that it does not produce electromagnetic interference (EMI) that will disrupt other equipment, that it can tolerate interference […]
