This past April we hired Paul Suchyta as a Co-Op Student. Paul is currently an undergraduate at Michigan State University, studying Computer Engineering. We've been breaking him in over these past couple months and now that he's up to speed we've got him working on developing our own GUI for CAPFLOW.
Our thermal analysis software for quite some time has had the ability to regulate interfaces according to temperatures at specific locations in the mold. This functionality is most commonly used to model thermocouple controlled cooling lines and heaters. Call EKK to find out how!
