  • Renewable Energy and the Role of Engineering Simulation

    Renewable energy was born out of the need to discover and develop alternative solutions to classic fossil energy based on nature recycling phenomena like wind power, solar bright, water force, post-volcanic emanations, or biofuel improvement. Other renewable power technology—like waves, tidal, and electric cars—are also emerging. R&D investments in the dynamic processes of renewable energy…

  • What Everybody Needs to Know about CAE

    Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the broad usage of computer software in analyzing and virtually testing engineering products. With a CAE tool, you can simulate, validate, and optimize products based on the results of a numerical analysis. CAE solutions are used in a wide range of industries to analyze the robustness and improve the performance of components and…
