Simulator’s Guide to Virtual Testing…In The Apocalypse
Designing and manufacturing prototypes is tough enough under ideal conditions - add the stress of an apocalyptic scenario, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Why rely on time-consuming and expensive physical testing when one mistake can lead to disaster? Discover how virtual testing can help you get it right the first time.
This webinar explores how advanced simulation techniques can drive innovation and prepare us for even the most unexpected threats - like defending against a zombie horde!
Delegates will learn:
• Collaborative workflows with intuitive task management
• Designing protective structures quickly, with finite element analysis (FEA)
• Understanding environmental safety concerns with advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

Hinges – the Unsung Heroes of Industrial Application Design
Hinges are the unsung heroes of industrial application design. Often, they are not visible, embedded in the intricate design of an application; yet hinges form the key component for enabling the flawless operation of any panel, door or object that needs to be tilted, turned or lifted. At Southco, we have all facets of this unique product class covered.
In this webinar, Stewart Beck, having worked at the forefront of hinge development for well over a decade, will provide an overview of the different hinge categories that Southco offers by relating to the requirements and customer needs that have driven the various product developments. He will derive some key guiding questions design engineers can follow to help specify and select the right hinge for their application.
Against the background of emerging market needs, Stewart will then focus on introducing some of the more recent hinge innovations that Southco has been launching, and present those in the context of best-suited application environments and case studies.
Attendees will learn:
- What makes a specific hinge most suitable for an application?
- What are the guiding questions for selecting the correct hinge?
- What market trends drive new hinge development?
- What are the latest developments in hinge design?
- What tools are available for helping to specify hinges?
