Mathcad Predictive Engineering White Paper
Maximise the speed, efficiency and quality of product development by making the most of predictive engineering.
Whether you’re dealing with the stock market, the weather – or that elusive condition known as customer behaviour, having an ability to accurately predict the future can lead to success in early any endeavour. This is especially true for CAD engineers and product development organizations.
Numerous CAD tools are aimed at just that: predicting the outcome of the product before it moves through design and manufacturing and into the hands of the customer. Software for structural analysis, mechanism dynamics, and virtual prototyping are examples.
Even the ability to reuse existing CAD models for new product development can be a valuable predictive resource, since using a predesigned part or platform helps predict the behaviour of some aspects of the new product.
No doubt, the better the CAD designer can predict the fit, feel, function, cost and reliability of the finished product, the better the chances of delivering a competitive product on time and within budget. CAD engineers and product development companies know this. What they may not realize, however, is that one often overlooked process – automating engineering calculations – can be every bit as important as using analysis tools, virtual prototypes, and other predictive resources. Download this white paper to see why and to the read the full document.
Visit www.hrs.co.nz/downloads/Predictive_Engineering_with_Mathcad.pdf to download the white paper.

Forecasting 101: Going Beyond Automatic Forecasting
Part 3: Improving Your Forecasting with Top-down Models
This installment of Forecasting 101 presents the third of three articles about going beyond automatic forecasting. The first article presented an overview of automatic time series approaches, examining how they work, the pros and cons of using them, and situations where they should not be utilised. The second and third articles in the ForecastPro Trends newsletter explored commonly used customised approaches which allow you to go beyond automatic forecasting. In the last Trends issue we explored event modeling. In this issue we will be looking at top-down models.

ChemDraw SMILES and InChI Conversions
Did you know that ChemDraw can interpret SMILES and InChI strings as chemical structures?
Everyone knows that ChemDraw can convert chemical structures into IUPAC names with our Struct=Name module. But ChemDraw can also convert chemical structures into SMILES and InChI strings, to be pasted into Excel or any document. In the other direction, everyone knows that ChemDraw can convert IUPAC names and trivial names into chemical structures with our Name=Struct module. But ChemDraw can also interpret SMILES and InChI strings from text into chemical structures.
SMILES and InChI conversions are useful for...
* Importing strings from internet sources into ChemDraw
* Unambiguous chemical structure identification in electronic storage
* Reporting structures for NIST, PubChem, NCI, ChEBI, or KEGG standards
Contact us to check out the ChemBioClip to see how to...
* Save structure as SMILES string, onto clipboard
* Save structure as InChI string, into Excel
* Convert structure to SMILES with ChemDraw/Excel function
* Import SMILES string into ChemDraw from the internet
* Import InChI string into ChemDraw from Excel
You can watch the clip in Flash, Webex or WMV format.
