Pocket PC CAD. PocketCAD PRO enables engineers
to work with CAD files directly in the field using any Windows CE 2.11 or higher-powered
mobile device, including pocket PCs, palmsize PCs, handheld PCs and tablet devices. Arc
Second Inc, Dulles, VA. Free Info--Circle 430. http://www.OneRS.net/101df-430
Design for Assembly upgrade. Version 9.0 of DFA
adds many tools to help engineers estimate assembly times and costs for their designs,
investigate new design ideas and select the best product design. Boothroyd Dewhurst
Inc, Wakefield, RI. Free Info--Circle 432.
Illumination and display analysis. Designed for
light and back-lit display analysis, TracePro lets users create and study an entire LCD
back light larger than 50mm in size. A repetitive surface algorithm creates millions of
conical bumps, dots, pyramids, Brightness Enhancing Films and fresnels on any planar
surface. This feature allows the user to create objects as one specifically-shaped tile,
or as rows of tiles with varying features. Lambda Research Corp, Littleton,
MA. Free Info--Circle 431. http://www.OneRS.net/101df-431
Mathematical solutions. Mathcad 2001 features
expanded connectivity with other desktop applications. A built-in version of VisSim LE
provides a simulation package to model, simulate and embed control, communication and
signal processing systems. Mathsoft Inc, Cambridge, MA. Free Info--Circle
437. http://www.OneRS.net/101df-437
Mechanical simulation. LMS DADS 9.6 now offers
a Durability and Vibro-Acoustics Interface for improved use of load time history results
as inputs to fatigue studies. Additionally, surface velocities can be exported for
vibro-acoustic studies. LMS CAE Division, Coralville, IA. Free

Timing belt distance tool. A web tool is
offered to aid proper timing belt selection, by helping to determine minimum center
distance and the number of teeth in mesh on a two-pulley system. The software provides
component options and alternative belt-and-pulley combinations, in inches or metric. It
also generates two tables -- one of center distances vs. number of belt teeth, and one of
all pulley pairs within a specified speed ratio range. Stock Drive Products, New
Hyde Park, NY. Free Info--Circle 433. http://www.OneRS.net/101df-433
Electronics thermal analysis. Flotherm version
3.1 has a new solver technology that speeds solutions in the thermal research of
electronics packaging. Enhancements to the software includes new "SmartParts"
for IC packages. Flomerics Inc, Southborough, MA. Free Info--Circle 434. http://www.OneRS.net/101df-434
Mechanical events. Hydrostatic loads can now be
applied to these Accupak Mechanical Event Simulation (MES) family elements: plate/shell,
2-D flexible solid, 2-D kinematic, 3-D brick, 3-D tetrahedral and 3-D kinematic. Objects
can be modeled that are completely submerged in a fluid, partially submerged or
oscillating above and below the surface. Because MES analyzes events in time steps,
Accupak accurately determines hydrostatic pressure even as it changes. Algor Inc, Pittsburgh,
PA. Free Info--Circle 435. http://www.OneRS.net/101df-435
Blade design for fans, pumps and turbines. CFX-BladeGen
is a specialized 3D software tool for the rapid design of rotating machinery components.
The software can be used for axial, mixed-flow and radial blades. AEA Technology
Engineering Software, Waterloo, ON, Canada. Free Info--Circle 436. http://www.OneRS.net/101df-436
