EKK, Inc. News Letter - May/June 2003
We held our annual user's meeting this year on May 8th. At this annual meeting, both our software development and our metal casting consulting teams meet with our users to discuss the current state of our software, potential software improvements, as well as using the software more effectively.
This year's agenda was:
CAPCAST updates
Presentation of new diecasting shot sleeve tutorial
11:45 - 12:15
Hardware recommendations 1:15 - 1:45
Presentation of other new tutorials for our software
Discussion of die surface treatments Progress on current EKK research projects Open discussion, questions and answers
We look forward to next years meeting.
Representatives from EKK will be attending two shows this fall. We will be manning a booth at NADCA's 22nd International Die Casting Congress & Exposition on September 15-18, 2003. We will also be attending the AFS Midwest Regional Conference on October 27, 2003. Come out and see us. As always, we invite you to bring a CAD file (in STL format) so we can do a quick demonstration for you.
Did you know that KENT can convert multiple STL files into one SRF file using a '.lst' file? Even better, each STL file can be assigned to any SID you choose! This can greatly reduce the time needed to make a complex FEM mesh with many surface entities. To find out how, contact EKK.
