Since the first FEA solver, Nastran, was developed for NASA in the 1960s, the simulation software industry has contended with a number of hurdles. For one, while the software (FEA, CFD, CEM) is ...

What exactly is computer-numerical-controlled (CNC) machining? It’s a means to make parts by removing material via high-speed, precision robotic machines that use an array of cutting tools to create ...

In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

The selection of the proper materials for a structural component is critical to engineering design. Existing design procedures may currently be sufficient, especially where experience exists, but ...
