When computer-aided engineering (CAE) methods became available for design work in the 1980s, finite element analysis (FEA) was the first to be widely adopted. Over the years, it's helped design ...

Race simulators like rFactor or iRacing offer the kind of gaming experience only available this side of a six-point harness, particularly when combined with a wheel like Logitech's G27, but sometimes ...

We get behind the wheel of CXC’s latest racing sim before it heads off for duty on a Norwegian cruise ship. Kyle Hyatt (he/him/his) hails originally from the Pacific Northwest, but has long called Los ...

Test pilot and ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori tests the 'DLR Robotic Motion Simulator'. Using the motion simulation, one can intuitively sense the behaviour of the lander and thus realistically control ...

[DERIY] set out to create a two degrees of freedom motion simulator for driving simulation. After four months, he’s completed this impressive simulator for about $400. The simulator receives driving ...

Buzz Lightyear is tearing around on his jetpack in Toy Story 2, but I'm not watching passively. Every time he banks left, my chair banks left. When he accelerates and climbs, I tilt back. When he ...

In this installment: FEA plus simulation Information exports Load analysis When computer-aided engineering (CAE) methods became available for design work When computer-aided engineering (CAE) methods ...
