Murata releases its in-house engineering software Femtet after four decades of development

by

Murata Manufacturing is making its long-running engineering simulation software available to the wider market, after developing it internally for around 40 years.

The tool, called Femtet, is a computer-aided engineering (CAE) system based on the finite element method (FEM).

It has been used inside Murata for decades to help engineers design and test electronic components by simulating stress, heat, electromagnetic fields, fluids, vibration and other physical behaviours.

Ency Software releases ENCY 2.5 with 130 workflow, machining, and stability enhancements

by

Ency Software has released ENCY 2.5, an update that introduces 130 improvements across machining, simulation, and core platform functionality.

The company says the new version focuses on smoother day-to-day workflows and greater stability for users working in CNC programming and simulation.

One of the most noticeable changes is in painting simulation. The part now renders in real time as the simulation runs, allowing users to “see what’s painted and what isn’t without toggling part visibility”.

Nvidia says its new AI physics platform enables engineers to work ‘500 times faster’ in aerospace and automotive

by

Nvidia says leading aerospace and automotive companies are accelerating complex engineering tasks by as much as 500x using its new DoMINO NIM microservice, part of the Nvidia PhysicsNeMo AI physics framework.

According to the company, the combination of GPU-accelerated computing, AI-powered physics modelling and interactive digital twins is transforming how enterprises run simulations for aircraft, vehicles and heavy machinery.

The platform enables “near real-time simulation” of physical systems, significantly compressing design cycles and allowing engineers to explore larger design spaces with far greater accuracy.

This article gives insight into the key parameters that dictate the intrinsic worth of a tire, so consumers can make informed choices. [Read more…] about What Defines Tire Quality Beyond Brand Reputation?

Hummink raises $20 million to bring ‘micronic precision printing’ to advanced manufacturing

by

As microelectronics underpin the rise of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, the smallest manufacturing imperfections have become billion-euro problems.

Each defect at the sub-micron scale can derail an entire batch of chips or displays. Paris-based deep-tech company Hummink is tackling that challenge head-on.

The company has raised €15 million in a funding round co-led by KBC Focus Fund, Cap Horn and Bpifrance to expand deployment of its patented High-Precision Capillary Printing (HPCaP) technology, which enables manufacturers to print metals and functional materials with record-level accuracy and repair microscopic defects in real time.
