Engineering Resins for Non-Painted Appearance Applications

March 20, 2018

Trends in interior automotive continue to include low gloss surfaces and special effect, accent colors. With many plastics, the ability to achieve the proper low gloss surface or special effects like metallic colors requires a secondary painting process. Furthermore, some plastics formulations cannot be colored or UV stabilized, so painting is a must.

Engineering Data Management and Document Control

whitePaper | February 20, 2020

Engineering Data Management is all about the creation, version control and fast retrieval of documents. It has little or nothing to do with formal change management, or building a reliable audit trail. Engineering Data Management Systems should make life for the engineer as simple as possible without introducing too much complexity. Document control on the other hand, is the management of documents through their life cycle with a much higher degree of reliability for security, version control, review cycle, visibility, availability and, most importantly, for a controlled and reliable audit trail.

Multiphysics Engineering Simulation in the Cloud

whitePaper | December 10, 2021

A multiphysics approach to design is of the essence to fully capture the realworld interactions between the physical phenomena at play inside today’s complex products. This means that to develop the best products need to adopt simulation tools capable of handling structural, thermal, and fluid flow behavior with high-fidelity and in a timely manner. Access to CAE simulation tools in the cloud is therefore critical and can offer a competitive advantage, as it enables engineering teams to quickly assess product performance and accelerate design iterations by leveraging its virtually limitless computational power and collaborative nature. Engineers and designers have traditionally been constrained by legacy desktop CAE tools. Neither the computational power available locally, or its associated cost, scale up or down on-demand. N

NEXT-GEN ENGINEERING

whitePaper | July 8, 2022

Engineering and R&D (Research & Development) activities have been at the core of the industrial revolution. It has helped individuals prosper by making laborious tasks easier and hassle-free. From making mobility efficient, driving speed and efficiency, and performing complicated tasks, among others — Engineering has significantly transformed the Manufacturing, Hi-Tech, and Services-led verticals, over the last 2 centuries. Furthermore, since the onset of the pandemic, a chasm has opened across various verticals, particularly for digital-heavy ones like the Software & Internet. To stay ahead in the game, enterprises across the globe are reassessing their business strategy for the future. Today, they have one common goal in mind — taking control of end-to-end engineering.

Modern Methods Of Construction 2023

whitePaper | March 14, 2023

MMC is ultimately about improving efficiency and productivity in both design and in construction. It is widely known that construction has a substantial productivity gap compared to many other sectors and MMC has been suggested as one of the methods to tackle this challenge. Although described as a “product-led” type of construction, MMC is also about developing the manufacturing processes and how these processes are executed.

Optimising EPC Contracts in COVID-19 Crisis

whitePaper | June 10, 2022

The coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19), the prolonged quarantine responsesand the enormous economic uncertainty are affecting the normal development of EPC contracts. EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement and Construction and is a prominent form of a contracting agreement in the construction industry. They are not only carried out in the construction sector, but also in other industries such as power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, water treatment, mining, among other sectors. The EPC model is used where an owner or employer wishes to engage a contractor to undertake the engineering, procurement and construction of a project. Normally the EPC Contractor has to execute and deliver the project within an agreed time and budget, commonly known as a Lump Sum Turn Key (LSTK) Contract.
