Much has been written about the rise of field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) -based platforms over application-specific-integrated-circuit (ASIC) implementations. During the last few years, FPGAs have ...

While physical prototypes will not soon disappear, they’re certainly becoming a less prevalent part of the design cycle. Reduced costs and the rapid speed-to-market are the driving advantages. As for ...

An overview of the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and its importance in aerospace component design. A look at how FEA software enables aerospace engineers to simulate the results of ...

Virtual prototyping involves using various technologies—from computer-aided design software to simulation tools—to create highly detailed prototypes before making the physical versions. Car ...
