Simulators, Optimizers
Invention Machine launches new enterprise solution
Invention Machine Corp. rolled out its first enterprise solution software June 8 at the Second Annual User Group Conference. The software, TechOptimizer 3.0, includes two new modules—Internet Assistant and Process Analysis—as well as the addition of more than 1,000 new scientific effects and examples to its knowledge base.
Simulation Simplifies ‘What-If’ Analysis
Whenever a new control system is proposed for an automated plant, a manager, engineer, or operator invariably asks how the system will react to certain events or conditions in the plant. What happens when the ambient temperature drops below freezing? What will the control system do if the conveyor suddenly stops? Will the robot arm be able to squeeze through that opening with a part in it...
Component modeling tool
Pittsburgh, Pa. —PEmag is a design tool tailored for the design of power electronic device components, such as inductors and transformers. It allows the designer to enter standard geometry dimensions for the components and perform fast analytical solutions. It automatically generates and solves a finite element-based model using Ansoft's Maxwell 2D Electromagnetic field simulator to ensu...
Flowmeters Pass the Muster
Measuring the flow of fluids is critical in many industrial plants. For some applications, measuring flow accurately can make the difference between making a profit or taking a loss.Application media = technologyFlow measurement is media dependent. According to a study of flowmeter makers and worldwide users recently conducted by Automation Research Corp.
