Making more of your desktop CAD

Article Abstract:

Use of computer aided design (CAD) software packages can eliminate design errors that cause stress concentration fatigue and electronic circuit overheating. CAD allows three-dimensional design validation. Software packages Cosmos and Beasy are available from Desktop Engineering for stress and thermal analysis. Flotherm from Flomerics acknowledges real world influences such as turbulence but is more expensive. New software package Hotbox from CHAM (Concentation Heat and Momentum) takes account of convection effects.

Problems shown when they matter most

Article Abstract:

A Windows-based software package from Marex Technology, PROMACE 5.0 enables problem diagnosis of system failures. It provides sequential information of what happened or failed to happen in a major plant breakdown. The programme would be appropriate to any major system although the previous version 4.0 has been mainly used in gas and oil production. However, costs may inhibit widespread application.
