Industry Perspective: Is There a “Beyond” to Lithium Ion Battery Electric Vehicles?

This article was originally published in the October 2018 issue of SIMULIA Community News magazine.   Lithium (Li) ion batteries have been the chemistry of choice for over 20 years, with an increasing number of applications. The chemistry provides the possibility for a large variety of formulations where lithium ions migrate between a solid positive electrode […]

Simulation of the Future: Autonomous Vehicles Part 2

3dds, autonomous vehicles

repost from : blogs.3ds.com   As vehicles are designed with higher levels of autonomy, simulation becomes more and more critical in order to anticipate the needs of drivers. An autonomous vehicle views the world differently than a human driver, and simulation gives engineers crucial information about how an AV will react to certain situations and […]

Simulation of the Future: Autonomous Vehicles, Part 1

repost from : blogs.3ds.com   The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International) defines five levels of vehicle autonomy, and a good deal of work is already being done in the lower levels, which include Level 1 (automation with driver assistance), Level 2 (partial driving automation) and Level 3 (conditional driving automation). Higher levels of autonomy include Level 4, […]

The Little Roady Shuttle: Autonomous Vehicle of the Future

autonomous vehicle of the future

repost from : blogs.3ds.com There is plenty of talk about autonomous vehicles being the future of transportation, but how many people expect to be driving them (or not driving them) during their lifetime? Autonomous vehicle technology can be intimidating to think about – will we really trust our cars to drive themselves? Like any new […]

repost from : blogs.3ds.com   Engineers are using sophisticated models to clean plastic debris from oceans, optimize airflow in smog-filled cities, and make vehicles lighter and more efficient. This article was produced for Dassault Systèmes by Scientific American Custom Media, a division separate from the magazine’s board of editors.   The Great Pacific Garbage Patch will […]

What is Industry Renaissance?

repost from : blogs.3ds.com What is Industry Renaissance?  It’s a profound societal transformation on a scale that has not been seen since the great European Renaissance. One of the most significant advances during that time was the introduction of Gutenberg’s printing press.  Why?  Because it allowed for the rapid production of books, making the knowledge available to a much wider audience.  Today, the new book is […]

Can we make electronics energy self-sufficient?

Repost from blogs.3ds.com It’s estimated that there will be more than 50 billion connected objects in 2020. That’s a lot of devices to power! What if we harnessed the photovoltaic energy that is widely available on Earth to make our electronics energy self-sufficient?  That is the idea of Dracula Technologies, a startup is developing a disruptive printable light energy. Dracula Technologies’ vision […]
