The benefits of using simulation early and often in the product development process are clear. You can verify requirements and begin studying and exploring design alternatives before prototyping and ...

Over the nearly a quarter century since the Web has been in existence, there have been various websites and projects in the field covered by Hackaday that have done the rounds and captured our ...

As heterogenous integration increases design complexity and forces engineers out of long-standing silos, model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is becoming essential for improving quality and reducing ...

It has been remarked before in more than one Hackaday post, that here are many communities like our own that exist in isolation and contain within them an astonishing level of hardware and engineering ...

Everybody knows about Lego sets, but not everyone can afford them. Thankfully, there are other brands that also produce high-quality building sets. For instance, this Mould King model engine kit is ...

Part FiveIt may feel like you are done when you bolt the valve covers on your new engine, but if you can possibly afford it, a dyno session should really be your next step before dropping that engine ...

Heavy machinery is entering a new phase where hydraulics, electronics and embedded software are engineered as one integrated system. Using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) as a framework to ...

When we left SRE Engine Techniques, our 362 was stripped down to a short-block. The oil pan was removed and we took a quick look at the rotating assembly, but didn't have the time to really dive into ...

Automation aims to standardize industrial operations and bring overall efficiency to today’s production lines. Such gains, however, may come with considerable effort, as engineering teams must ...
