EPLAN

Available now: New EPLAN Platform 2.3

The major new release of the EPLAN Platform has launched. Version 2.3 focuses on standardization and automation, which opens up new opportunities for users when it comes to standard-compliant design and handling safety values. Simple macro editing and extended search functions for system settings guarantee highly productive engineering for users. Another practical benefit: central administration of phased-out devices and associated test runs to give transparency and safety to existing projects.

ArnCAD: Cost-optimised e-engineering system for innovative fastener components – ArnCAD provides 2D and 3D data with round the clock availability. Full design data are available at a glance in electronic form.

In situations where fastening components are needed, design and development departments in the automobile and electronics industries are faced with the challenge of reducing costs by using innovative fastener technologies. Along with the availability of innovative products, access to design data in electronic form is increasingly important. This is essential for the time- and cost-efficient implementation of the design process (Figure 1).

Tata Steel rail contract to link Saudi Arabia’s two holy cities

Tata Steel has won an order to manufacture 60,000 tonnes of high-quality rail for a new high-speed line linking the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. The new railway will allow millions of pilgrims to cross the 276 miles (444km) between the two cities at speeds of 200mph (320kmh). The line will cross desert, withstanding temperatures ranging from freezing to 50oC, as well as sand storms, flash flooding and shifting dunes.

MAPLESOFT

Controller arm for world’s largest functional brain model built using MapleSim

A group of neuroscientists and software engineers at the University of Waterloo’s Computational Neuroscience Research Group (CNRG) have built the world’s largest functional model of the human brain. Named Spaun, the simulated brain has a digital eye which it uses for visual input, and a robotic arm that it uses to draw its responses.
