Hi, so here is the situation: I'm a 3rd year mech engineering student. Due to involvement in various projects and electives, I'm starting to do some more serious CAD (SolidWorks) and FEA (ANSYS) work, ...

So true interoperability is a necessity to ensure product-data quality (PDQ) throughout the enterprise. Interoperability issues even can arise early in the game. For instance, FE analysts need data ...

The NEi Nastran in-CAD 2011, an finite element analysis (FEA) solution that is delivered in a three-dimensional (3D) environment. With this tool, product design teams can perform FEA pre-processing, ...

A parametric FEA program now lets engineers manipulate shapes and positions of features in meshed models without accessing the original CAD model or CAD software To stretch the rear end of the SUV, ...

The ability to predict, in the design stage, how a product will perform in its operating environment is not only an invaluable aid but, in an increasingly competitive marketplace, an economic ...

It has long been the dream of engineering-software providers -- both on the analysis side and design side -- that these two stages of product development be more closely integrated. That's also the ...
