AECOM, the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, announced it has been selected by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Multimodal Planning Division to develop a plan for the statewide deployment of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, which will demonstrate how ADOT can deploy EV charging stations adjacent to state alternative fuel corridors and interstates and will comply with Federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) guidance.

NASCAR used Ansys’ simulation solutions to ensure the safety of its Next Gen race car in time for the 2022 season with virtual crash tests that accelerated validation time and reduced material costs for physical testing by $1 million. The crash simulations allowed NASCAR to overcome pandemic-induced physical testing challenges and meet its goal to debut the car in February at the Daytona 500 motor race, the 500-mile season-opener considered the most prestigious and important race in NASCAR. By integrating Ansys® LS-DYNA® into crash testing, NASCAR was able to analyze, test, and validate multidirectional influences, including nonlinear and linear contact to the entire vehicle, spanning frontal impacts, roof crashes, lateral side impacts, rear impacts, and oblique impacts. This high-fidelity data, compiled by virtual crash simulations, slashed typical validation timing and material costs by reducing physical crash tests — estimated at $500,000 each — to only two full scale vehicle physical crash tests. Further, Ansys’

Correct customs tariff numbers and transparent documentation with a few clicks Determining the correct customs tariff numbers is not an easy task for many companies that export to other countries, are facing a Customs audit, or whose products are on embargo lists. An extensive and complicated set of rules and regulations, as well as a shortage of skilled personnel, are part of the problem. Due to the complex structure of the numbers, there was hardly any software for this on the market for a long time, which meant a great deal of manual effort and high process costs. At the same time, customs tariffing should have a high priority in a company, as errors in goods tariffing can quickly have legal consequences. Henning Uiterwyk, CEO of netwyk.com, recognized this problem and developed netwykZOLL, a cloud-based SaaS solution for individual and mass determination of customs tariff numbers according to current specifications. This time-saving tool
