ANSYS eNews April 2014

New Issue of ANSYS Advantage Magazine
ANSYS solutions have helped generations of students prepare to tackle real-world engineering challenges, professors teach future engineers the tools that will be important in their careers and researchers produce groundbreaking technical discoveries. In this issue of ANSYS Advantage we feature only a tiny portion of the academic leaders and future engineers who are changing the way we think about engineering education and the world around us.

Size Matters
The powerful object-oriented programming environment of the ANSYS Application Customization Toolkit (ACT) has helped Epsilon FEA to automate the process of sizing welds in accordance with existing standards. This article features an example of how using the ACT extension can save money through more accurate weld sizing.

Webinars

Designing RF Antennas for Wearable Electronics and The Internet of Things
April 28 at 2:00 p.m. EDT
Join us and hear from industry pioneers at Synapse, who will share their best practices for designing products that are making The Internet of Things a reality. Synapse first began engineering wearable technology in 2009, and employs the masterminds behind some of the most advanced wearable devices on the market today. In this webinar, you will learn how Synapse used ANSYS software to solve issues related to antenna design, design of reliable wireless systems, and how you can use a similar approach in your work.
