Technology is both becoming more interactive and connected, from Alexa to digital factories of the future. Sensors are the gateway to transforming the physical to the digital realm, yet they are often the limiting factor in the overall performance of the system. Sensor technology has exploded recently due to the advances in MEMS and semiconductor processes. These advances are helping to serve market demand at a very low cost.

OnScale and Eclipse Scientific are proud to announce the integration of cloud Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) simulation within BeamTool 9 from Eclipse. This partnership combines the easy to use BeamTool software with OnScale’s efficient Cloud Engineering Simulation Platform to provide accurate simulations, enabling the ability of ultrasonic array scans to be quickly and easily simulated in parallel on the cloud, directly from the BeamTool application.

After another successful training event in Japan, we are excited to announce that we are planning all of our future Master Classes for 2019. We want to give everyone the opportunity to attend, so there will be multiple courses spread across Scotland, USA and Japan. Starting with Glasgow! The course will be held at the University of Strathclyde from the 16th to 17th of July.

Over the next few months you can expect to read about a variety of our engineers from around the world, all working as one team and sharing insights into their work and personal lives. Get a deeper understanding into why people are joining OnScale, and learn what the coolest things are about working for us! Kevin Chan, our senior application engineer (based in our Glasgow office), was next on our list to interview for this series. We discuss all things new at OnScale and all things fun in Kevin’s life, including good food, DJing and traveling!

Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (PMUT) are MEMS-based piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers. In this article, I will describe how to understand and visualize correctly the results coming out of a PMUT ultrasonic sensor simulation in the OnScale Post-processing Mode.

Anyone who has worked in engineering simulation knows the feeling. Your coffee is freshly brewed, and you’re all set for a successful day of changing the world and then you get one of these little messages from your favorite simulation tool: “Solver out of Memory” or perhaps worse still “Remaining simulation time: 7,000 years”

OnScale was created by engineers, for engineers. We know what your dream product, dream workflows, and dream results are - because we’ve been on the other side. We’re here to make those dreams a reality and are using our collective experience to develop the best solution out there. Get to know us, ask us questions, or come grab a beer at our happy hour!

Join OnScale and Silterra to learn how OnScale has been adopted into their design process of Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (PMUTs). We’ll be showing exciting PMUT results that are obtained in project collaboration with Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) with mutual designs, measurements and joint papers and conference publications.

OnScale is the first CAE package to bring enterprise level simulation to the cloud. Once you upload your problem, you immediately gain access to each PC level computation and are charged on a pay-as-you-go basis. In this blog post we will discuss OnScale's capabilities compared with other legacy CAE solutions, the types of simulations we can do with SAW filters, and our suggested techniques to exploring expansive design spaces using OnScale.

Exactly how does OnScale provide engineers with the capability to innovate much quicker? How are we helping customers bring new technologies such as 5G, IoT, sensors, biomedical devices and autonomous vehicles to market faster than ever before?
