i-Nalysis, a recently launched New England-based company, had introduced a handheld X-ray Fluorescence device designed to make it easier for companies to identify lead and other elements in their products. According to i-Nalysis, the palm-sized device is based on recently developed X-ray technology that uses pyroelectric crystals. The new technology was developed to bring down the cost of X-ray identification. The company is aiming the new product at military contractors that need to test for lead components, recycling companies that need to analyze alloys, retail chains that want to test for lead in toys and jewelers who need to measure carat content in diamond rings.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
