Image-Based Simulation from Computed Tomography Creating Better Running Shoes
ASICS use computed tomography (CT) data and Synopsys Simpleware™ software to create 3D computational models for better understanding the role of stability in running shoes. Optimizing with simulation reduces the risk of lower extremity injuries for runners, as well as enhancing performance and reducing the risk of future manufacturing errors. Sole structure and heel eversion angle are particularly […]
Simulate Your Way to Efficient Cabin Comfort!
Comfort is more than just physical. Ask any would-be electric vehicle owner who is still holding off on purchasing one because of range anxiety: that distinctly uncomfortable feeling that your new vehicle might not make it from point A to point B due to limited battery life. These fears have a basis in truth. According to studies, […]
Lessons Learned from Car Recalls: Design of BGA Solder Joints Driven by High Fidelity Simulation
Ball-Grid-Array (BGA) Solder Joint is a common electronic packaging connection widely used in the High-Tech, Transportation & Mobility, and Aerospace & Defense industries. You can find electronic devices with BGA connections everywhere – from small gadgets like phones and watches to large vehicles and airplanes. These tiny solder balls actually play an important role in vehicle safety. According […]
8-Year-Old with 3D-Printed Hand Throws Opening Pitch for Red Sox on #Journeyto30
Eight-year-old Hailey Dawson has made waves in the world of Major League Baseball (MLB), thanks to the work of her new prosthetic 3D-printed hand. According to Sports Illustrated, Dawson was born with a birth defect where she’s missing three fingers on her throwing hand – a condition known as Poland Syndrome. The prosthetic hand was engineered […]
Application Highlight: Antenna Design for a Connected Home Multimedia Device
As the Internet of Things (IoT) establishes itself, more and more connected devices are finding their way into the modern home. The “connections” are of course wireless and antennas are the key enabling technology that provides that wireless connectivity. This article will use the example of a smart projector (Figure 1) to talk about the […]
Have a Heart!
In a new series, we are featuring our partners and the work they do with us in the simulation field. Our first featured partner, VIAS, discusses how they use Abaqus and their own virtual design and data analytics capabilities to provide solutions for various problems throughout the lifecycle of a project, in particular with stents and medical […]
Barbie Releases New Robotics Engineer Doll
Source: Barbie Twitter Here at Dassault Systèmes, a lot of our work has focused on gender parity, particularly in STEM education. Our extended use of LEGO MINDSTORMS for 3D modeling, manufacturing, systems engineering, and simulation not only encourages collaborative work but also aims to pique interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) from all students. Which […]
Achieving Innovation through Simulation with PowerFLOW 5.5
Whether it’s the latest driver-assist technology, the most comfortable cabin, or the best fuel economy, consumers crave the experience vehicles can offer as much as their practicality, style and value. Recent trends in electrification and automation heighten the competition among OEMs, who must advance these new technologies faster than the competition – and with the […]
Electronics That Bend, Not Break!
Heralded by many as the next great advancement for printed circuitry, flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) are becoming increasingly widespread. By printing electronic circuits that can be bent, twisted and stretched, devices can be made smaller, lighter and more versatile. The challenges of FHE design are both mechanical and electromagnetic. The materials that go into a […]
How Do I Find the Right Antenna for my Design? Tech Tip!
Antennas are crucial parts of any connected device, from phones to medical implants. With so many different use cases and frequencies, there is a bewildering range of antenna types all suited to various applications. For example, a Bluetooth earpiece requires an antenna is small, cheap, and omnidirectional, while a spacecraft may require a high-power, high-gain […]
