Food materials like powders, grains, and sticky mixes flow unpredictably, causing bridging, clumping, blockages, wear, and hygiene risks that traditional modelling often misses. DEM particle simulation models individual particle interactions to predict these issues early, helping optimize equipment geometry, reduce buildup and product damage, and cut prototyping time and downtime.
Modern simulation tools speed up product development by combining quick, early insights (80% accuracy) with high-precision results (95–99%). This tiered simulation approach reduces development costs, cuts iteration time by 2×–5×, minimizes rework, and gives teams a competitive edge by keeping engineering cycles fast and accurate.
Xavier Werbrouck, founder of 4ITEGO Group International, will step down as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and assume the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO). At the same time, the Board of Directors, with the full support of Xavier, has appointed Raf Vermeylen as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Sebastiaan Vranckx as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), both effective immediately.
4ITEGO Group acquires CAD Services and strengthens its position as a leading end-to-end solution partner for the manufacturing industry.
The Innoptus Solar Team has revealed the second major innovation in their newest solar car, the Infinite Apollo. Their latest addition, called The Bounce, introduces an adaptive ride height system - a first in the history of Belgian solar cars. With the Infinite Apollo they aim to secure their third world title at the 2025 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, a 3,000 km race across the Australian Outback starting on August 24th.
On July 17, 2025, Synopsys, Inc. officially completed its acquisition of Ansys, Inc., uniting two global technology leaders and marking a significant milestone in the evolution of engineering design and simulation.
What used to take weeks of testing and countless prototypes can now be simulated, optimized, and adapted in real time—thanks to the power of artificial intelligence. In a recent Root Nation feature, discover how AI is reshaping the future of design, and how leaders like Ansys are helping drive this transformation.
