As I am beginning the search for a new family SUV to haul around my boys ever growing bags of sports equipment, I have been reviewing online stories and ran across an amazing story about the new Land Rover Discovery. I happened to have owned the first generation Discovery back in the 1990’s so it […]
As NLS develops new products, we use simulation tools to reduce the time to market cycle, improve product quality and reduce both product and development costs. In our continuing effort to improve our simulation capability we always want more computer power. More power allows us to improve realism, increase accuracy and do more simulation faster. […]
Here at Northern Lights Solutions, we use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) nearly every day to develop better products faster. We hardly take a moment to think about the history of FEA and how it became such a vital tool to today’s engineers so we decided to do a little homework and here is what we […]
A quick summary of a great article from Desktop Engineering on using outside simulation experts: Consultants can be lifesavers, or at least project-savers. Here are the must-do steps for a great outcome. Decide whether you even need a consultant. Be confident you’re choosing the right company by asking the right questions up front. Determine the path that […]
