The new Simcenter FLOEFD 2606 CFD software release includes Smart Die for modeling complex power distributions on a IC package die, enhanced Smart PCB FEM mesh thermal analysis option, easier to use component libraries, and headless EDA Bridge operation for advanced automation of electronics thermal analysis and optimization workflows.

Ultrasound-based irradiation of rock formations has attracted considerable attention as a technique for enhancing heavy-oil (high-viscosity crude oil) recovery from deep underground reservoirs. However, a unified theoretical framework for wave propagation and energy dissipation in these formations remains lacking because water coexists with heavy oil within rock pores, and gas bubbles in the wate…

For Grace Tran, the sky is no limit. A mechanical engineering student in the combined master’s program, Grace’s career interests are in advanced robotic systems where human interaction, health, and impact are central. She is a long-time member of Gator Motorsports, where she began as a brake system engineer and worked her way up to […]

As summer road trips begin and rainy weather arrives, many drivers may encounter one of the most dangerous situations on the road: hydroplaning. This happens when a layer of water builds up between a vehicle’s tires and the road surface, causing the tires to lose grip. In severe cases, drivers can temporarily lose steering and […] The post Why your car can suddenly slide on wet roads—and how to r…

Reduce your speed and replace worn tires to keep wheels on the road and prevent hydroplaning. The post What causes hydroplaning? And how can you prevent it? appeared first on UGA Today .

AutoCMX introduces a breakthrough in industrial blocked force testing, enabling suppliers and OEMs to digitalize component integration with unprecedented efficiency and accuracy. By automating the ISO 20270 workflow, it eliminates manual bottlenecks—reducing measurement time from days to hours while delivering consistent, repeatable results. Built on Simcenter SCADAS hardware and Testlab software…

In the world of modern portable devices, it may be hard to believe that merely a few decades ago the most convenient way to keep track of time was a mechanical watch. Unlike their quartz and smart siblings, mechanical watches can run without using any batteries or other electronic components. Over the course of this article I’ll explain the workings of the mechanism seen in the demonstration belo…

Talleres Artificio, a mechanical engineering firm based in Chile, has incorporated SHINING 3D‘s FreeScan Trak Nova into its inspection workflow for mining equipment, a move the company says has halved the time needed for certain ball mill inspections while improving the quality of the dimensional data its engineers work from. The firm, which employs a…

Nearly 1,900 engineering and computer science students — 1,111 bachelor’s degree candidates on June 13 and 777 master’s and doctoral candidates on June 14 — walked across the stage to the applause of more than 11,000 family members and guests

Ethan Bowers, a Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering at UMBC, is building a massive, one-of-a-kind research magnet. It weighs more than 2,300 pounds and will be capable of generating a magnetic field of 7 teslas (roughly 140,000 times stronger than the Earth’s magnetic field and more than twice as strong as the field in most MRI machines.)

Introduction: To enhance release velocity during competition, javelin throwers incorporate implements of varying mass into their training regimens. Previous research has demonstrated that, although velocity contributes quadratically to the computation of kinetic energy, heavier implements generate substantially greater kinetic energy at the moment of release, despite markedly lower release veloci…

This blog introduces System Simulation for designing Humanoid Robots virtually with digital twins in Simcenter Amesim. It’s mechatronics with multiphysics to virtually size and assess the performances of Humanoid Robots with simulations executed in few seconds.

When first-year mechanical engineering student Christine Xu eased the Bruin Supermileage Vehicle up a 12-degree incline at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this spring, three of her teammates had to push the car up the ramp by hand

Energy Research Journal, Published online: 13 June 2026; doi:10.3844/erjsp.2026.10.19 Hydrogen is not only present in the structure of most substances but also attracts attention as a clean energy source. The fact that hydrogen only releases water through combustion and possesses high ...
