Our society is, very literally, built on infrastructure. We rely on a global network of roads, rails, power lines, pipelines, canals and ports for our food, freight, transit and energy. Developing countries are seeing a boom in infrastructure construction as they join the world market, while developed countries are investing heavily in replacing structures that are now tens or even hundreds of years old. Simulation allows civil engineers to model the strength and life span of bridges, tunnels, dams and other infrastructure virtually. Huge megaprojects can be analyzed and inspected through their digital twin before a single shovel load is dug. Our new eBook shows some of the applications of simulation in infrastructure engineering, with real examples and papers from our customers.

News Electric vehicles are breaking into the mainstream, revolutionizing our streets. Electric drive systems are a key tool in reducing dangerous urban air pollution and the huge climate cost of transportation, while smart and autonomous vehicles can help increase road safety while cutting congestion. Making the leap from concept car to mass-production requires innovation by OEMs and suppliers alike. Integrating new technologies (including LiDAR and other advanced sensing devices, batteries, new broadband antennas, electric drives and power electronics) into vehicles poses unique challenges and requires holistic design of the entire car as a single system. Dassault Systèmes with its family of brands is tackling this very challenge with solutions and key technologies to design, evaluate and optimize EV in an interconnected, multidiscipline framework. Industry Report: Simulation Supports Innovation ARC Advisory Group reviews how SIMULIA applications help companies be competitive and overcome complexity in product development.

The 13th European Conference on Superplastic Forming (EuroSPF 2019) will be hosted by University of Basilicata and Polytechnic University of Bari and will be held in Matera (Italy) from the 11th to the 13th of September 2019. SCOPE AND CONFERENCE HISTORY Established in 2001, the EuroSPF Conference is focused on all aspects related to Super Plastic Forming and SPF/DB (Super Plastic Forming/Diffusion Bonding). The purpose of the annual EuroSPF Conference is to act as a platform for transfer of knowledge between academic and industrial leaders in the field of SPF including material science, process simulation, press design, die optimisation, part manufacturing, innovative low cost processes modelling, tool design, lubrication, industrial applications of SPF and similar topics. There will be two prestigious keynote speakers:  Prof. Terence G. Langdon and Dr. Daniel Sanders. Anybody with an interest in the state-of-the-art and the future trends of Super Plastic Forming is invited to participate. REGISTRATION Participants are asked to register to

The Transportation and Mobility industry is undergoing a revolution. Electric drive, autonomous vehicles and smart roads all promise to make personal transportation cleaner and safer, while onboard connectivity and infotainment make the passenger experience more comfortable. In this month’s SIMULIA newsletter, you’ll find information about our simulation solutions for meeting the challenges these new technologies pose, as well as about our upcoming conferences. NEWS The rise of autonomous vehicles and ridesharing mean the passenger experience is firmly in the driving seat for vehicle design. Climate control, noise and seat design all need to be optimized to maximise comfort, safety and energy efficiency – especially for electric vehicles. The hyper-connected world meanwhile makes increasingly heavy demands on on-board computers and wireless internet. Bringing a vehicle successfully to market means not only meeting all the regulatory requirements for safety and energy efficiency, but also crafting a passenger experience that sets it apart

Highlights Cloud-based High Performance Computing High Performance Computing (HPC) is used for a wide array of demanding corporate computing tasks, including simulation, deep learning and more. HPC on the cloud has provided greater flexibility for product manufacturers, allowing them to access software, hardware and peripheral services on-demand in a one-stop-shop.
