The moving world of engineering
The world of engineering is constantly moving. Here we gather some of the most important developments and news.
Infinite and YES!Delft are partnering to help tech startups make stronger engineering decisions by combining company-building support with simulation expertise and Ansys solutions.
MAIT Group is continuing to advance its European growth strategy and is expanding its group of companies to include 4ITEGO Group International BV. Through this merger, MAIT is specifically strengthening its market position in the Benelux and expanding its portfolio with additional expertise in the areas of product development, high end simulation and digital transformation.
Offshore wind turbines face growing ship‑collision risk. The blog shows how explicit FE analysis in LS‑DYNA handles short, highly nonlinear impacts more robustly than implicit methods. A monopile case study highlights energy dissipation, damage dependence on vessel and speed, and critical secondary hazards—instability and nacelle fall—supporting system‑level risk assessment.
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.
