We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Finite Element Analysis",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Solid carbide drills' heads are replaceable from
WNT (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Numerous new and innovative cutting tools to be displayed at MACH 2008 include solid carbide drilling with the versatility of a replaceable head system".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Simulate plastics injection moulding warpage from
Vero International Software: "Simulation software for plastics injection moulding features a user friendly interface, short model preparation/calculation times and covers filling analysis and warpage calculations".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Noran Engineering
concerning its Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software
- take a look at Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software by degrees
which says: "Noran Engineering's Nastran Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software has been specified by the US Naval academy in Annapolis for its Naval Architecture degree course".
Take a look also at the news release from Noran Engineering, FEA software helps Farr Yacht Design,
as well as Five-axis machining centre demand rises from Heller Machine Tools,
and Vibro-Acoustic user conference to be held in June from ESI Group.
