In a previous post, I spoke of useful design information that is oddly difficult to find on the Internet. In that case the topic was saturation curves for common soft magnetic materials. I recently had a similar experience in another application area — the maximum sustainable electric field in vacuum devices. The issue is critical for [...] People involved in technical work must often switch between different classes of tasks. For instance, when I am working on a report I may be running TeXnicCenter and Yap to do the writing, several of our finite-element programs to check data and to generate new results and FastStone and PaintShop Pro to create and to organize [...] We are wrapping up the Pulse program for magnetic field diffusion, the final component in our major update of TriComp packages this month. The final task is to test all the examples that are included with the program package. The first step for each example is to generate a Mesh output file for input to Pulse. [...] Updates are the dark underbelly of software ethics. Most commercial programs are relatively mature, with sufficient features to satisfy almost all users. Nonetheless, there is an economic conundrum when you make a product that never wears out. So software vendors must continually hype specialized features to create a desire for a new (but effectively identical) product. [...] |
