The redesigned site has a new look, and has sections focusing on four main areas. The Find an Extruder section offers a simple search and options for advanced searching. Directories are organized alphabetically and geographically for extruders, suppliers and producers. Searches produce contact information and various plant capabilities data such as forms produced and circle size, plus finishing, fabrication and special services, essentially an online version of the annual AEC Buyers' Guide. The Technical Information Section has facts on material comparison, alloys, the extrusion process, tolerances, finishes, and other information. The Extrusion Applications section provides the council's online newsmagazine, Aluminum Extrusion Showcase. The Extrusion Basics section has an overview of aluminum, plus academic resources with basic knowledge of the aluminum extrusion process.
Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
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.
