MSC.Software Corp. says its new MSC.Fatigue 2005 r1 helps engineers evaluate durability and damage tolerance of components and systems and make changes early in the design cycle before prototypes are ever created.
Among the enhancements in the product:
Reduced simulation setup time when using the
Aerospace Load Spectrum capability. Users can import data from an ASCII file
for block creation.
Large Model Translation capability in FATTRANS: The
translation of large models is performed by using logic to break up the model
in groups based on available memory. Intelligent messaging is available to
guide the user to override the default memory allocation and specify custom
memory allocation.
A new SIMMAX utility that extracts a time history
from a series of DAC files or a single RPC file.
Gray Cast Iron analysis. This new capability takes
into account the dominant influence of the flake-like shape of graphite in
Gray Cast Iron on its mechanical properties. The graphite flakes act as stress
raisers, which may prematurely cause localized plastic flow at low stresses,
and initiate fracture in the matrix at higher stresses.
Enhanced Integration with MSC.Patran through full
support of CWELD Spot Weld Modeling capability.
Simulation of loading environments utilizing the
Redesign Duty Cycle capability. The Redesign Duty Cycle takes advantage of
several capabilities including the ability to use load time histories directly
from the source directory, the ability to add or delete sequences, events, and
time histories, the ability to independently configure events and a reporting
tool that provides users with damage statistics from events and sequences.
Leverage diverse Operating System- based computational resources on the network and expect robust/faster simulations using Analysis Manager: In this new version, the Windows-Unix interaction limitation has been removed. Additionally, the input to Analysis Manager is handled without any user intervention.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
