Vistagy Shows Composites Software At Paris Expo

Vistagy, a provider of industry-specific engineering software and services, will be exhibiting at the JEC Composites Show 2010 on 13-15 April at the Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, Paris, France. JEC show attendees will learn how innovations to Vistagy's FiberSIM composites-engineering software will provide effective solutions to these challenges and transform how aerospace, automotive, space, wind-energy, marine and jet-engine manufacturers engineer their products.

New advancements include support of: new materials, such as non-crimped fibres and multi-layer laminates, as well as new process solutions for forming and other automated manufacturing processes, such as fibre placement; rapid design changes, which enable engineers to efficiently conduct trade studies and evaluate design alternatives based on metrics, such as weight; an improved link between analysis and design, which enables engineers to make more design iterations more quickly, resulting in optimised parts; and communication of best practices and design standards throughout an organisation and its supply chain so engineers can produce more consistent, easily repeatable parts and products.

Other highlights at the Vistagy stand include daily presentations delivered by Ian Goddard, Renault F1 Team senior CAE engineer, entitled 'Improving composites-engineering processes at Renault F1 Team'. Goddard will discuss how his organisation has transformed its composites-engineering processes by using Vistagy software and professional services. The presentation will take place on: 13 April, 2pm; 14 April, 11am and 2pm; and 15 April, 11am.

Dr Olivier Guillermin, Vistagy director of product and market strategy, will deliver a presentation entitled 'Managing the complexities of composite aircraft assemblies' on 14 April from 2-5pm as part of the JEC Composites Simulation Conference. Guillermin will be discussing the key elements necessary to successfully handle large volumes of highly interdependent design data within composite aircraft assemblies.

Show attendees are invited to visit the Vistagy stand and take part in the 'Roadmap to composites engineering success program', to learn how the company is working with a variety of technology and equipment suppliers to offer comprehensive, open and flexible solutions for composites analysis, design, manufacturing, assembly and quality planning.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
