How The Aerospace and Defense Industry is Using Tomorrow’s Tech Today

Given how ubiquitous flying is today, we often forget that humans have really only been able to fly in a practical sense for about 70-years. In this short period of time, we have seen remarkable leaps in technology, not the least of which being wireless internet at 35,000-feet. The aviation industry is poised for another […]

Customer Highlight: Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Lonnie J. Love received his B.S. and M.S. degree in mechanical engineering from Old Dominion University, and a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is currently a distinguished research scientist in the Energy and Transportation ScieDivision and group leader of the Manufacturing Systems Research Group at the Department of Energy’s […]

Flying Cars, No Longer Sci-Fi

Summertime and early Autumn in New England brings the kind of traffic that lasts hours and crawls forward inch-by-inch. The kind of traffic that forces you to sit in your car and fantasize about growing wings and flying over the miles of backed up cars to break free of you anger and frustrations. Scientists are not […]

A look back at European Microwave Week 2017

This year’s European Microwave Week, which ran from October 8-13 was a wonderful success for CST. We sponsored the wifi for the exhibition and our booth was busy as we welcomed attendees to learn more about CST Measurement Meets Simulation demonstration. CST STUDIO SUITE and electromagnetic imulation. One of the highlights was our ever popular CST […]

Industry Perspective: Disrupting Manufacturing as We Know It

Why are holes round? A question with an answer that many just take as an eternal fact: holes have always been round. The practical reason holes are round is because we have always used a subtractive process in manufacturing to remove what we want to create the part or product we need. The problem with […]

The Living Heart Project Reaches New Milestones On the Cloud

At Dassault Systèmes, we uncover new ways to apply our technologies to big questions. One example comes from the Life Sciences industry: “What if physicians and surgeons could virtually analyze their patients’ health and respond with precisely planned therapies and surgeries? What if medical devices could be designed and safely tested in the virtual world […]

What’s The Flight Path for Additive Manufacturing?

As a mechanical engineer and licensed pilot, Bill Bihlman found the perfect first job at Beech Aircraft after graduate school. “My passion was always aviation,” he says. “My work gave me access to time in the air.” Yet he soon realized that although he liked engineering, he wanted to expand his horizons further. “Engineering is […]

Lattice Design with Abaqus and nTopology Element

Until recently, designing lattice structures was a long, difficult process. Conventional design tools don’t allow enough flexibility, and conventional analysis & optimization methods have struggled to integrate well into engineering workflow. But with a new collaboration between Abaqus and nTopology, lattice design, analysis, and optimization is a seamless and repeatable process. TOPOLOGY Lattice design begins with topology—the locations […]

Accelerate your Innovations with Digital Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing is revolutionizing how production parts are being conceived and produced. A digital thread that connects, integrates and intuitively captures design, materials and manufacturing parameters is key for the production of functional parts. Additive manufacturing applications in 3DEXPERIENCE enable and accelerate the digital transformation by providing a single, unified environment for designers, manufacturing specialists and simulation […]
