Simulation software specialist, ANSYS, Inc., has released a new version of its Simplorer software, which is part of the Ansoft family of electronic design automation (EDA) products. Simplorer 8.0 is ...

Enhanced model authoring capability speeds the creation of SystemC-based transaction-level models used to build virtual prototypes New import function reduces modeling effort and errors by automating ...

While physical prototypes will not soon disappear, they’re certainly becoming a less prevalent part of the design cycle. Reduced costs and the rapid speed-to-market are the driving advantages. As for ...

Though the term mechatronics was coined back in 1969, it is still tough to find easy-to-use electromechanical design tools that enable design optimization across engineering disciplines. Few machine ...

Bench setups with physical prototypes lie at the very heart of electrical and electronic engineering. With all due respect to the many powerful forms of modeling and simulation, at some point the ...

The transportation community has long used two distinct simulator types without any formal integration between them. First, are microscopic Traffic Simulation (S) models, which simulate the movement ...

Virtual prototypes, often used as a niche tool in the past, are becoming essential for developing complex systems. In fact, systems companies are finding they no longer can function without them. In ...

Overview: The modern robotics software stack spans middleware, simulation, motion planning, and DevOps tools working in ...

Even the most skilled developers and product designers can’t always know exactly what their users want. Software prototyping provides a functional proof-of-concept mock-up that identifies missing ...

Multiphysics simulation allows engineers to evaluate complex interactions in a single environment, reducing the need for physical prototypes. In healthcare, simulation helped design electromagnetic ...
