Phil Goldstein is a former web editor of the CDW family of tech magazines and a veteran technology journalist. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and their animals: a dog named Brenna, and ...

There’s nothing new about testing and analyzing product prototypes virtually. Finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), collectively CAE, have been around for years.

In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

Swiss artificial intelligence startup Neural Concept SA said today it has raised $100 million in funding to rethink how products are designed and engineered with computer-aided design software tools.

Since the first FEA solver, Nastran, was developed for NASA in the 1960s, the simulation software industry has contended with a number of hurdles. For one, while the software (FEA, CFD, CEM) is ...
