Health: Combining engineering and medicine for outstanding results

After decades in which engineers, mathematicians, biologists, and doctors have worked in disciplines that were considered to be very separate fields, we are now facing a revolution in the health sector: intensive collaboration between these various disciplines makes it possible to achieve astonishing results that were previously unthinkable.

The potential for AI in industry and among SMEs – busting the myths

The interest in artificial intelligence (AI) is growing apace. Scarcely a day goes by without the publication of some article in the press concerning its abilities. However, many of these articles, particularly in the mainstream media, remain sensationalist and do not come to grips with the real potential for artificial intelligence in the business, and particularly, industrial sectors.

How to stay operational in a virtual world

Designing, developing and manufacturing high-performance, ground-breaking products requires engineers to integrate multiple disciplinary skills into an effective and efficient process of design and optimization.

The Value of Design-to-Cost

The increasingly competitive marketplace, with highly demanding customers and shrinking product development cycles, compel organizations to streamline product development and boost product performance while simultaneously drive down their internal costs. Thus resources (cost, budget, etc.), scope (features, functionalities, etc.) and schedule (time and prioritization) become equally important parameters of the project management triangle.

Simulating the multiphysics of a residual current device

Residual current devices (RCDs) are arguably the most important electrical safety devices for human beings in both residential and industrial settings. Where circuit breakers function to protect electronic devices and electrical systems from electrical overload, the residual current device is designed to cut the flow of electricity to your circuit when it detects that the flow of electricity is going to travel down an unwanted path.

Thermal Optimization of oil-cooled e-Drives

With major OEMs committing to increasing numbers of Electric Vehicles and greater electrification, the total electric car stock is growing and researchers and engineers are focusing on increasing the efficiency of e-machines.

Moving Particle Simulation: liquid flow simulations made simple

In the CAE sector new simulation methods continuously try to leave the embryonic or academic state to become mature and adopted by the industry. The success of this transformation depends on several factors, some related to the method itself, some other related to the “environmental conditions”, like the cultural readiness of the industry to rely and adopt new methods or the availability and affordability of hardware resources, that make these methods applicable at industrial level.

LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS in the Space Industry

Space exploration is an important aspect of human evolution in the late 20th and in the 21st Centuries. Since the first Sputnik launch, there are now nearly 3,000 satellites orbiting Earth, each serving different purposes.
