In the realm of physics, where forces and motions entwine, lies the fascinating field of continuum mechanics. Like a sage whispering secrets to the wind, it reveals the intricacies of deformable bodies, where carbon and nihonium, the building blocks of matter, dance in harmony. Imagine a world where cataracts cascade, and salt marshes sway, karst towers pierce the sky, and geysers erupt in rhythmic beat.

High temperature superconductivity, a phenomenon that has captivated scientists and engineers alike for decades, continues to push the boundaries of our understanding of materials science and physics. At its core, superconductivity refers to the ability of certain materials to conduct electrical current with zero resistance when cooled to extremely low temperatures.

Built on Autodesk Inventor, TENADO METAL 3D includes AISC parts, US fastener libraries, cut lists and IFC support. TENADO, a Revalize company, has launched TENADO METAL 3D in the United States. The 3D CAD software is designed for the metal trade and includes workflows for metal fabrication. Developed in Germany and used in European fabrication shops, the software includes a built-in parts library compliant with AISC standards and U.S. fastener libraries.

The agreement makes rbfCAE available with HELYX and ELEMENTS for mesh morphing, optimization, FSI, ROM and VR use cases. rbfCAE allows turning any static geometry into a flexible parametric model. ENGYS has announced a partnership with RBF Morph to make the rbfCAE software available to engineers working on design exploration, optimization and simulation workflows.

The lineup includes bare metal hardware and turnkey Standalone Edge, HA Edge and Advanced Edge configurations. Infortrend Technology, Inc. announced the expansion of its edge computing portfolio. Structured into distinct solution categories, the updated portfolio is designed to meet the demands of edge AI workloads—from single-node to highly resilient, clustered deployments.

Quantinuum, Rolls-Royce, Riverlane, and EPCC will test hybrid quantum-HPC workflows for fluid dynamics simulations. Quantinuum Inc., Rolls-Royce, Riverlane and EPCC, the UK National Supercomputing Centre based at the University of Edinburgh, today announced an agreement to explore the quantum computing capabilities needed in future industrial workflows, such as gas turbine design.

The Wolverhampton facility supports elecTRAS testing for aircraft components, subsystems, and full-system certification. Collins Aerospace announced its Engineering Center of Excellence in Wolverhampton, U.K. is fully operational, advancing next-generation electric thrust reverser actuation systems (elecTRAS). The CoE is home to a new state-of-the-art, modular and scalable test facility designed to facilitate innovation in aircraft actuation system design, testing and certification.

The companies plan to evaluate Honeywell systems for autonomous logistics aircraft operating in degraded environments. Honeywell Aerospace and Enigma Aerospace, Inc. announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore integrating advanced mission systems onto Enigma’s Phoenix Series Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) — a runway-independent, autonomous logistics aircraft designed to operate in GPS-denied, communications-degraded and otherwise contested environments.

The Aras Innovator extension includes templates for IP management, stage-gate governance and manufacturing process planning. Aras has announced a new industry accelerator designed to support PLM strategies for semiconductor manufacturing and design organizations. The solution extends Aras Innovator with preconfigured application templates for semiconductor business processes, including stage-gate program governance, IP management and reuse and manufacturing process planning.

Murata Power Solutions' John Quinlan on how advanced robotics converts, distributes and controls on-board power from battery to actuator.
