Dietrich Imkamp gives insight what metrology means for manufacturing in Zeiss - a technology company in optics, precison mechanics and optoelectronics with over 46 000 employees. He summarizes that production is only as good as the metrology behind it. EURAMET - The European Association of National Metrology Institutes EMPIR Closing Event, Brussels, 7 May 2026 #vttmikes VTT

I’m excited to announce that I will be presenting at the CAE Grand Challenge 2026, in Hanau. My presentation, “Advanced Modelling of Material Damage and Failure using OpenRadioss and Simcenter Radioss”, will focus on modern simulation approaches for predicting material degradation and failure behavior in complex engineering applications. We will explore: - Advanced constitutive material and failure modelling techniques - Practical workflows with Radioss - Correlation between simulation and physical behavior - Challenges and opportunities in high-fidelity CAE simulations Looking forward to engaging discussions with fellow CAE engineers, researchers, and simulation experts at the event. If you are attending the conference, feel free to connect — I’d love to exchange ideas and discuss simulation technologies and material modelling approaches. #Siemens #CAE #Simulation #Simcenter #FiniteElementAnalysis #Engineering #MaterialModeling #FailureAnalysis #Radioss #OpenRadioss #DigitalEngineering #Automotive

Engineering teams are under constant pressure to develop innovative, high-quality products faster than ever - but physical testing and prototyping can slow things down and drive up costs. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation offers a better way. By integrating simulation into your design process, you can accelerate development timelines without compromising accuracy and reduce costs by replacing expensive physical testing. Download this E-book and learn how companies across the automotive & transportation, energy & utilities, medical device, and other industries use CFD as a competitive advantage. https://imptr.io/qazhus

We’re proud to share that Tim Voss, from our team at Quartus Engineering, presented this week at SMST 2026 in La Jolla, CA. Quartus with Dr. Aaron Stebner delivered an in‑depth technical talk his work implementing a sophisticated shape memory alloy (SMA) material model as an Abaqus UMAT, which is capturing complex behaviors such as: • Coupled transformation‑plasticity • Anisotropic constitutive responses • Large temperature‑dependent effects • Superelastic tension‑compression asymmetry • Transformation initiation, kinetics, and saturation Tim demonstrated how this advanced formulation provides improved predictive capabilities for challenging engineering scenarios including low‑temperature compression, fatigue, and stress‑ratcheting. Read more about this presentation: https://lnkd.in/gbAu_S3b A big congratulations to Tim for representing Quartus Engineering and showcasing our commitment to pushing the boundaries of high‑fidelity material modeling. #SMST2026 #QuartusEngineering #ShapeMemoryAlloys #FiniteElementModeling #MedicalEngineering #EngineeringInnovation #MedTech

From our library: Workshop: Surface Characterisation (with optical profiler and nanoindenter demo) - Jul 8, 2021 with Samuel McMaster Characterisation of surface properties is essential to the fields of tribology and surface engineering. Many properties exist to define the roughness of surfaces and measurement of these properties can be a complex and time-consuming endeavour. Surface mechanical properties are key to defining the tribological interactions, especially on the nanoscale. The composition and chemical interaction of surfaces is additionally an important consideration in engineered tribological surfaces. Optical profilers allow for fast 3D surface measurement without contacting the surface and can scale from microscopic MEMs to entire engine blocks. Nanoindenters allow for the precise measurement of mechanical properties with respect to depth allowing for the analysis of coatings and thin films. Since 1960, Bruker has produced high-quality scientific instruments, with close collaboration with customers they enable innovation across a range of industries. After Dr McMaster’s presentation, Vishal Panchal, Application Manager at Bruker will present demo of the Contour GT optical profiler and Jaroslav Lukes of Bruker Nano Surfaces will present the Hysitron TI980 nanoindentation system. https://lnkd.in/dZafES_7 #webinar #surfaces #characterisation #nanoindentation #profilometry #coatings #surfaceegineering

Excited to share my latest article published in Advanced Packaging News on hybrid bonding and chiplet integration. https://lnkd.in/gf9pAV86 In this article, I discuss how hybrid bonding is evolving from a packaging technology into a key enabler for BEOL-level system integration in the chiplet and 3D integration era. The industry is rapidly moving toward finer interconnect pitches, heterogeneous integration, and tighter co-optimization between devices, packaging, reliability, and system architecture. In this context, hybrid bonding is becoming one of the foundational technologies for future AI and high-performance computing systems. The article also highlights recent trends observed across major international conferences and industrial activities in advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration. I hope this article will be useful for researchers and engineers working on advanced packaging, chiplets, and 3D integration. #HybridBonding #Chiplets #3DIntegration #AdvancedPackaging #Semiconductor #HeterogeneousIntegration #AI #BackEndOfLine #AdvancedPackagingNews
