Bringing a medical device to market is a daunting prospect for even the largest manufacturers. There's nurturing a concept from prototype to finished product; determining how and where to manufacture it; conducting trials for safety and efficacy; and getting FDA approval.

Simulation software that models airflow can be a boon to engineers when designing a clean room environment. By pinpointing potential problems early, such software can save time and reduce construction costs.

Manufacturers have known the importance of being discreet since the start of the Industrial Revolution. History has definitely shown this approach to be the best way to safeguard all of a company’s technological, production and assembly secrets.

Crop sprayers play a vital role in professional farm management. Farmers and farming contractors rely on this equipment to evenly apply exact amounts of nutrients and protectants on hundreds of acres on demand—although it’s not as easy as it sounds.

Simulation software can help manufacturing engineers balance conflicting objectives on a mixed-model assembly line.

In the late 19th century, Swiss craftsmen Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet met at Vallee de Joux and started working together in watch manufacturing. 

LEUVEN, Belgium—LMS International and a coalition of European research organizations have developed advanced simulation software for chassis and suspension engineering.

PITTSBURGH—GM is using simulation software from ANSYS to optimize performance of batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles.
