I wanted to share with you another of our exciting student sponsorship programs called Forze supporting the development of hydrogen fuelled automotive technology. A large team of around 70 students from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands make up a multi-discipline hydrogen racing team. Together they design and build a fuel cell powered [...]
The 2011 race car from the Esslingen University Formula Student team was recently unveiled. It is the first car from the team that weighs less than 200kg. Through their use of E³.series software for the electrical design the team were able to reduce cable weight by 50% compared to their 2010 car.
Today I’m going to talk to you about how we integrated Synopsys’ Saber Simulator with our electrical CAD software E³.series and the history behind this story. You might be aware that we’ve been working with Synopsys for some years now, partnering together with our solutions to provide an integrated design flow for engineers. I’m pleased [...]
Last year we started working with Zuken using E³.series electrical CAD software for our Formula Student team ‘Rennstall Esslingen‘ at the University of Applied Sciences Esslingen (previous blog posts available: summary of 2010 race season and introduction to the project). The Formula Student initiative is a worldwide program that has been designed to encourage and [...]
Last week was GlobalSpec’s FREE online event, Automotive & Transportation Technology. Unlike other conferences/exhibitions, we got to do this one from the comfort of our desk – and it remains open for next 25 days – so thats 25 days left to win an iPAD!
Have you ever been to a virtual trade show before? We’re going to be exhibiting at the Automotive & Transport Technology Virtual event by GlobaSpec next week and I’m on the staff roster. The event takes place next Wednesday January 26th and it comes complete with auditorium featuring live presentations, networking lounge and trade show [...]
Maybe you remember that we are a sponsor of the Formula Student team at Esslingen University?
Recently I went along to their end of season ‘Meet and Greet’ event – and it was great fun. It wasn’t just me though; the students invited all their sponsors to their workshop, where they shared pictures and stories of their successful race events.
Last year I was approached by a guy from Esslingen University, who’d heard about us by word of mouth from a colleague who’d done an internship at Gigatronic. They had a team of student engineers working on a project to design a racecar that could compete globally, with other Universities and Colleagues in the Formula [...]
The other night we attended the Designer Community Expo at the Synopsys User Group (SNUG) meeting here in Boston. It was held at the Boston Marriott (which is actually in Newton, go figure). You’ve probably attended something like this before – slightly darkened room with lots of vendors in 10×10 booths showing their products (in this [...]
