Gyroscopic Sensors Aim for New Applications

NO RATINGS

With stability control emerging as one of the auto industry's fastest growing features, the demand for gyroscopic sensors is soaring.

Still, gyroscopic sensors are gaining popularity in more than just automotive applications. They're starting to see action in dead-reckoning navigation — in aircraft, boats and agricultural equipment.

"In all kinds of applications, they can tell you how fast something is spinning in degrees per second," notes Bob Scannell, product marketing manager for Analog Devices Inc.

The following are three recent gyroscopic sensor products, from Analog Devices, Robert Bosch GmBH and Systron Donner Inertial Div.

LATEST ARCHIVED BROADCAST
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.
