Dynamic software solves special problems

Article Abstract:

Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software can be used to produce solutions for multi-faceted problems. A polymer windsurf fin was designed using ANSYS software together with FLOTRAN. The design process for the fin involved analysing data on deformation of the fin in conjunction with information about movement through water. Cygnus in California used the Nekton CFD package from Fluent to develop GlucoWatch which monitors glucose levels through intact skin. This involved studying various chemical reactions and electric fields as well as the fluid dynamic aspect.

Low cost CAD speeds boat firm to profit

Article Abstract:

Speed boat designers, Nigel Gee and Associates' have expanded through the use of computer aided design. Customers can contribute their own ideas as CAD allows modifications to be easily incorporated. It ensures competitiveness by facilitating the visualisation of alternative designs. Representations of the final product can be shown to potential purchasers. The company intends to extend it's use of CAD despite the cheaper cost of pencil drawings. CAD ensures greater technical accuracy and potentially a better end product.

Advanced infusion pump designed on Desktop

Article Abstract:

The Avance Infusion Pump from Stokes Quality Industrial Designs was designed using AutoCAD and Autodesk products throughout, and assembled using the Autodesk Mechanical Desktop. The Autodesk Mechanical Desktop was particularly impressive, handling complex processes with ease. The Avance pump is complex in design, using over 300 intricate parts to improve the mechanism for the peristaltic pumping action required in the administration of intravenous drugs.
