Journey to the Shelf vs. Journey to the Door

ast delivery and fulfillment is important to customers, but it means nothing if orders arrive damaged. Let’s face it, it costs money for customer service reps to process angry calls from customers and now they’re experiencing the frustration and anxiety of needing to return a product. Product returns are a customer experience nightmare, costing time/money […]

CST Lab: measurement and simulation can improve the design

“Why don’t my simulation results agree with the measurement?” This is the question I sometimes heard from our customers and which inspired us to start CST Lab, which is a project that promotes the combination of simulation and measurement to fix the perennial problem of mismatched results. CST Lab was officially started two years ago, […]

A powerful toolkit for microwave engineers

In recent years, CST’s filter design and analysis technology have continually improved, resulting in exciting new tools that facilitate design, analysis, and optimization. We spoke to one of CST’s resident filter experts, Dr. Theunis Beukman about the latest solvers and features that make CST STUDIO SUITE® such an excellent tool for designers. If you want […]

Drivetrain Simulation & Wind Turbine

Already in the late 90’s, Simpack was being used by German universities for detailed Multibody Simulation (MBS) of wind turbine drivetrains.  2005 saw Simpack’s first commercial wind customer, a certification body that required customers to deliver a more in-depth analysis of their drivetrains. Since then, Simpack has been customer driven to extend the dynamic analyses of wind […]

Evaluation of Safety and Stability of Structures by simulations

Product, Nature, and Life form the underlying foundations on which civil engineering is based. These three aspects need to be considered not only for creating innovative designs, but also for providing optimal functionality, ensuring safety, and safeguarding sustainability for ecological well-being. This is true for all types of civil engineering projects, including city developments, large transportation […]

Q&A about Industry Turbine Blade Analysis Workflow

Designing energy-efficient, robust, and durable Turbine Blades is a multidisciplinary challenge in Aerospace & Defense (A&D) and Industrial Equipment (IE) industries. By equipping our customers with state-of-the-art simulation technologies, we can significantly reduce the design cycle and simulation cost, giving them the edge over their competitors. We asked Yunfei Shi, Technical Solutions Consultant with SIMULIA who developed this workflow, […]

Q&A on End-to-End Performance Based Door Assembly Design

Door assembly design is a complicated process with multiple challenges.  The 3DEXPERIENCE platform helps to overcome these challenges with a solution that is digital, connected, model-based, and end-to-end. We asked Preeti Verma, Solution Consultant with SIMULIA who developed this workflow, to provide answers to some common questions. Q. Why does this workflow need to be analyzed? A. One of the […]

About Northwestern University and Rush University Medical Center – SIMULIA Academic Team Update

The best part of working on the SIMULIA Academic Team is visiting our academic customers.  Seeing the innovative ways they are employing the SIMULIA product portfolio, is inspiring.  Recently, I made a trip to the Chicago area to visit Northwestern Universityand Rush University Medical Center. Northwestern University is a long-time SIMULIA academic customer with a research license used by […]

Simulation & Biomimicry

For hundreds of year, architects, designers and inventors have looked to nature as an abundant source of inspiration. Biomimicry, the study of emulating and mimicking natural systems to solve human problems was first popularized by biologist Janine Benyus.  In her book Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature, she transforms the thought process of how we can learn and […]
