Manual equation manipulation is labor intensive, time consuming, and notoriously prone to error. Simply put, doing algebra by hand is expensive. When faced with expensive processes, engineers find...

The world of industrial automation is undergoing a major transformation to the Next Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0. Manufacturers can no longer afford the "build it and tweak it" approach...

A leading provider of consumer and professional digital imaging solutions required an accurate, fast-performing model of an ultrasonic motor (USM) for use in its line of cameras. Widely used in the...

Many engineering organizations today are facing major challenges when designing and delivering new products. Time to market and cost control are critical in an increasingly competitive and global...

The Model-Driven Innovation approach, and its emphasis on employing virtual prototyping at the system-level, is an invaluable technique when designing complex, dynamic machines. By employing this...

Data is playing a bigger and bigger role in our everyday lives. New data is being collected and analyzed at an ever increasing rate and is being used more and more to make informed decisions. With...

The notion of being able to develop a virtual prototype of the whole system is playing an increasing role in engineering system design and development. Consequently, there has been an increase in the...

Learn how Maple can be applied to thermal engineering analysis, assisting in applications such as: - Modeling the heat flows across a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle - Simulating a lumped...

After long iterations and expensive prototypes, it seems you've got all the kinks out of your design. Weeks later, your system fails in the field for some unknown reason, despite your existing design...

In the manufacturing and automation industry, adopting new development techniques has become a key requirement for success in a highly-evolving, competitive market. As demands on product requirements...

Virtual commissioning sounds great in theory. Take a virtual prototype of your machine and hook it up to a virtual PLC, and test your product virtually before you test it physically. Early testing...
