As you’ll notice, our newsletter has taken on a new format as we strive to make it more compact to scan while making more information accessible on the topics that interest you. Please let us know if this is worth the effort and if we can make it even better. We value your feedback and always strive to keep our customers as informed as possible on all the latest developments.
As promised at last year’s Users’ Conference, we held our first customer appreciation event by taking 7 lucky customers on a fun-filled Go-kart experience. The racers battled it out till the end but fortunately, the day ended with only big smiles and dirty shirts with no (serious) injuries or bruised egos. Don’t miss out on your chance to be next by attending the SIMTEQ Users’ Conference this August.
Our product of the month is Moldex3D which is a must-have for any injection moulded part development while also covering other manufacturing processes like Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) and many more. We will also host a special Moldex3D Tech-Day on the 15th of June for those interested in the solution.
That is of course not the only event to take note of since we’ll continue the topic of contact in the next web session on the 3rd of June as well as cover all the ways to save time preparing FE models using MSC Apex in the workshop hosted at SIMTEQ on the 29th of June.
And did I mention space? Yes, we share this novel idea of literally throwing things into space, in this month’s Art of Engineering section. Do you think they will overcome the next batch of engineering challenges they face? Well, they got this far...
Also, don’t forget to check what is new in every product released so far this quarter in the What’s New section. The list is long and might just solve a problem you had or make something easier or quicker for you than before. Don’t miss any opportunity to work smarter or do more with less.
The month of June is also focused on CAEfatigue. If you need to conduct fatigue life calculations from test or FE results, look no further than the weekly Wednesday fatigue webinars on our events and training calendar: Training & Events - SIMTEQ Engineering
Hope to see or hear from you at one of the upcoming events or training!
We all have our release valves and our way to stay (semi-) sane in this world of chaos and change. We all have our bucket list items or fun activities we never get to put into action. Hence SIMTEQ Engineering’s initiative to combine our “Customer Appreciation Day” with a Go-kart track!
The competitors were selected from a lucky draw from the SIMTEQ Users’ Conference 2021. A selected number of clients and conference attendees had the chance to show their skills against one another on track. The competition was fierce, though the fun had the upper hand. There were even a few “friendly fire” incidents between the SIMTEQ “teammates”…
The day was a huge success and SIMTEQ is considering making this an annual event open to all of our clients to socialize with fellow engineers and build healthy networks outside of the office environment. Watch this space and listen out to the announcements at this year’s User’s Conference!

Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to send a payload into space without strapping as much propellant as possible behind it and lighting a fuse? The minds behind Spinlaunch (https://www.spinlaunch.com/) contemplated that exact question and produced an ingenious solution. The first video shows their 8th flight test on their third scale model, that’s right, they have a working scale model! The second video is from Scott Manley, who dives deep into how the Spinlaunch concept works and some of the complications they still face.
