in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
Transportation has been the focus of environmental regulation since the 1960s, and the automotive industry has responded with a family of technologies that has made internal combustion engines several orders of magnitude cleaner that the vehicles of half a century ago.
Cars and trucks however, are only part of the power story. The off-highway industry has faced the same evolving need for clean, sustainable machines that operate with higher levels of productivity at low cost. It’s a seemingly conflicting requirement: more with less.
But there are multiple advanced technologies in use and under development in the off-highway sector that are delivering clean power with high productivity and safety. Joining engineering.com’s Jim Anderton to discuss these advanced technologies are Poclain Hydraulics’ Matt Christensen and Sara Feuling from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.

Engineering is more than applied science, it’s the application of creativity to solve real-world problems. Ideation is the cornerstone of design engineering, but a major difference between good engineering and great engineering is the ability to transfer ideas into renderings and workflows that generate products and processes that are true to the original concept. That concept itself is usually iterated, both in the mind of the designer, and in the development process itself.
For most of history of engineering, the interface between ideation and rendering has been an informal process, buried in the mind of the designer. Today, that’s changing with new generation of engineering tools that simultaneously impose rigour on the design process, while freeing the designer to explore novel solutions, many of which would be impossible to execute with simple computer-aided design. It’s the digital twin which makes this possible.
Join host Jim Anderton as he discusses the implications of digital twin in real world applications with Keshav Sundaresh, Global Director of Product Management - Digital Twin and Digital Thread at Altair.

Model based systems engineering, or MBSE, is widely regarded as the future of engineering design and management. Watch four MBSE experts describe how on the latest episode of The Engineering Roundtable: bit.ly/3tdxPBH
MBSE gives engineering teams the ability to control and manage the vast amount of data generated by the modern design and development processes. It’s effective, and like all sophisticated, software-driven engineering systems, must be implemented correctly for best results. MBSE has applications across multiple industries from automotive to aerospace to electronics. Joining engineering.com’s Jim Anderton to discuss where and how MBSE can streamline complex processes is Siemens Digital Industries’ Todd Tuthill, VP of Aerospace & Defense, Nand Kochhar, VP of Automotive & Transportation, Mark Malinoski, MBSE Solutions Director, and CIMdata analyst Don Tolle.

Greenforges uses advanced engineering simulation tools to iterate a novel way to grow crops deep below the surface.
Watch the interview on engineering.com: bit.ly/3D5YO6M
Feeding the population of the planet, 8 million and growing, is a fundamental challenge for the 21st century. The green revolution that began in the 1950s relied on massive chemical inputs, in fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Today, environmental concerns, plus a warming climate and limited agricultural land has been the impetus for new ideas in agriculture. Could we go below the surface and use advanced technology to allow food production anywhere, including cities?
Montreal, Canada-based Greenforges has developed a novel vertical system that allows agricultural production almost anywhere, without the traditional constraints of weather, irrigation or land-use. It’s harder than it looks to grow food underground, and development uses advanced tools to iterate cost-effectively. Joining engineering.com’s Jim Anderton to describe the technology and how simulation was essential in its development is Jamil Madanat from Greenforges and Carl Poplawsky, Engineering Services Manager at Maya HTT.

Automated systems and advanced technologies enable smarter and more productive off-highway equipment.
Watch the latest episode of Manufacturing the Future: bit.ly/3T8O5zx
Artificial intelligence and autonomous operation are the most widely anticipated technologies in the on-road transportation sector, and with self-driving cars carrying paying passengers in several cities around the world, the promise is finally becoming reality.
The prime movers in the global economy however are the machines that build infrastructure and drive agriculture, and in the off-highway space, similar advanced technologies are revolutionizing the way earth is moved and crops are grown.
However, the challenge is much more considerable in the off-highway space. Tunneling, excavating, grading, tilling, and seeding are using GPS and laser guided systems to achieve unprecedented levels of accuracy and precision. What will the future look like for the off-highway equipment industry? How will advancements in hydraulic systems help achieve this future?
Jim Anderton discusses the future of off-highway equipment with Sara Feuling, Senior Director, Construction at the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and Ben Holter, Director of Automation Systems for Husco.

Explore what it takes to design and build the large orbital structures that will allow humanity to truly live in space.
Watch the latest episode of The Engineering Roundtable: bit.ly/3Ba0bSr
Orbital assembly of large space stations has traditionally been planned and executed by national space agencies and multinational government consortia. Today, new technologies make it possible for private enterprise to launch and assemble large, crew-rated structures into orbit for multiple uses, and to do it profitably.
To combine safety, performance and cost control in these large, complex structures, advanced software must be used to balance the needs of design, simulation, PLM, manufacturing, and other factors to ensure program success.
