We demand a lot from the electronic components that bring our devices and systems to life. This is particularly true when it comes to semiconductors for space applications. From satellites to ...

People are increasingly turning to software to design complex material structures like airplane wings and medical implants. But as design models become more capable, our fabrication techniques haven't ...

There are times to design with parametric features and times to work with free-form versions. A few advantages of designing in 3D solids include associative detail drawings, creating complex features, ...

Digital imaging, virtual reality and 3D modeling have improved in the past decade but most designers and decision-makers are still unprepared to approve new designs without physical models. It's ...

Generative models have gained widespread attention in recent years due to their inverse design capabilities and their potential to accelerate the molecular design and discovery processes. This ...

FRANK P. MELENDEZ teaches at The Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture, City College of New York. His teaching and research engage topics pertaining to architectural drawing and 3D modeling, ...

Most engineers are surprised to learn that the term mechatronics isnearly 40 years old. It was first used in1969 by Tetsuro Mori, anengineer at the Yaskawa Company, to describe a system composed ...

Native SPICE elements that accurately replicate an op amp’s real-world behavior were nonexistent. A transconductance sourcing current from the rails and transitioning to a resistive state as the ...

Ask six engineers what a model is and you may get six different answers. In mechatronics, the word model carries a specific meaning, and modeling is perhaps the single most important activity in ...
