Simulation software specialist, ANSYS, Inc., has released a new version of its Simplorer software, which is part of the Ansoft family of electronic design automation (EDA) products. Simplorer 8.0 is ...

While physical prototypes will not soon disappear, they’re certainly becoming a less prevalent part of the design cycle. Reduced costs and the rapid speed-to-market are the driving advantages. As for ...

Enhanced model authoring capability speeds the creation of SystemC-based transaction-level models used to build virtual prototypes New import function reduces modeling effort and errors by automating ...

The transportation community has long used two distinct simulator types without any formal integration between them. First, are microscopic Traffic Simulation (S) models, which simulate the movement ...

Audi engineers model the front end of a new car as part of the suspension, then run it through simulated test driving to gather load data. At Audi, designers combined testing and simulation to improve ...

Though the term mechatronics was coined back in 1969, it is still tough to find easy-to-use electromechanical design tools that enable design optimization across engineering disciplines. Few machine ...

Virtual prototypes, often used as a niche tool in the past, are becoming essential for developing complex systems. In fact, systems companies are finding they no longer can function without them. In ...

Bench setups with physical prototypes lie at the very heart of electrical and electronic engineering. With all due respect to the many powerful forms of modeling and simulation, at some point the ...

Overview: The modern robotics software stack spans middleware, simulation, motion planning, and DevOps tools working in ...

It's no secret that the automotive industry's priorities are a moving target, influenced by major players as well as rapidly changing customer preferences. Emerging submarkets like software-defined ...

Simulation only creates value when it delivers results that are both trustworthy and early enough to influence decisions. If ...
