Engineering Analysis for All

Dear DE Reader:

Computers lost their job as times and technologies changed. See, a computer was once a career for math people. Computers sat at their desk all day hand-crunching numbers. Everyone else waited for their results or tried doing the calculations themselves. You could staff that position today, but why stick with an antiquated process? How can you compete when inefficient silos of expertise slow down everyone’s work? These are among the questions underlying an answer teased at by today’s Check it Out offering.

If you’re a design or test engineer as well as an engineering or IT manager earning your bread in such industries as aerospace, automotive, energy and heavy equipment, it’s likely you work with tools from HBM—maybe hardware like sensors, data acquisition systems and precision instrumentation or software like ReliaSoft for reliability or nCode engineering applications like DesignLife, GlyphWorks or VibeSys.

Now, nCode plays a key role in HBM Prenscia’s suite of solutions and services for engineering outfits. nCode’s mission is developing high-powered test, simulation and engineering data analysis solutions mostly for durability and fatigue analyses as well as signal processing and data management.

High-power silos and redundant work got people thinking. Powerhouse engineering applications tend to require high-level training so that you can use them. Not everyone needs that much training even though they need the results to do their assigned jobs. This setup has tended to create isolated teams of experts, which introduces process bottlenecks, inhibits collaboration and leads to redundant work. It doesn’t have to be that way any more. Times and technology have changed.

On October 5th, HBM Prenscia will formally introduce a new software application called Aqira. Described as nCode’s next-generation engineering solution, Aqira brings high-end nCode engineering analysis to all your engineers and across physical test and virtual simulation disciplines. It’s intended to unite process and performance as well as deliver flexibility and control in an integrated, collaborative engineering environment on a globally accessible platform.

You’re invited to see how for yourself via live streaming or in-person. If you’re in the Novi, MI, area, you can attend the live announcement event featuring hands-on demonstrations. Or you can register for the live stream. Either way, hit today’s Check it Out link to access a webpage dedicated to Aqira. Watch the three videos that set both the parameters for this solution and the stage for its introduction. Then sign-up for Aqira’s roll-out.

Thanks, Pal. – Lockwood
