CAD/CAE Model Clean-Up: Reduce Iterative Cycles
This webinar featured research
and survey results related to problems associated with preparing CAD geometry
for CAE applications. We discussed how
Recipe-Based Automation can help
create "just-in-time" CAE-ready geometry each time a cad model is updated. Watch the Presentation
Light Matters: A High-Performance, "No-Compromise" Solid State
Lamp?
First, let's define "no-compromise". In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package, and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible.
