    Help: What formats do you normally use to export and share data?

    And apetri, I was wondering if the methods included in the software you're referring to is only Excel, or have you seen this capability in other software as well? Thank you!

    Help: What formats do you normally use to export and share data?

    Thank you for responding, it's for clients, and we have a mix of academic and profession users. I've only spoken with a few users so far and those I spoke with copy out the data manually today into their process simulation tools, so I wonder if there's a easier way.

    Help: What formats do you normally use to export and share data?

    I'm looking at a project to digitize our collection of chemical properties data and put it into a shareable database, but after a bit of research, still couldn't get a definitive answer as to what is considered industry standard. So far the closest I came across was ThermoML and wanted to...

    Anyone attending ASM Interational's Aeromat 2014 next week?

    Just signed up and wondering if anyone else is going, and which sessions you're planning to attend. Looking deeper into the sessions now.

    Software to make documentation

    Was doing some research on Anark, how did you like it compared to the other software?

    Social skills, interpersonal skills etc. for engineers

    Couldn't agree more with CompositePro. But I guess if you find that the view's terrible on top of the corporate ladder, you can always find a way to come back down. (just don't break any bones) A "engaging conversation" class I went to once had some good advice. Ask the open questions (what...

    Carbon fibre composite materials

    The mechanical properties of an anisotropic material are a function of orientation. An anisotropic material has properties that vary with direction within the material. This directional dependence is observed for other material properties such as ultimate strength, Poisson’s ratio and thermal...

    Clarification about correlation of yield strength and hardness of a 8640 steel after heat treatment

    You're very welcome Matheus! I have a question too if you don't mind - I'm in the process of putting together some materials to help ramp up new engineers, and am curious as someone starting out, what type of information do you most urgently need to do your job, and what/where do you current...

    Clarification about correlation of yield strength and hardness of a 8640 steel after heat treatment

    I did a quick Knovel search and think ASM Handbook, Volume 4 Heat Treating, section 13.4 might have some of the information you're looking for. Hope that helps!

    Good mobile apps for engineers?

    Thank you guys for your suggestions, these are very helpful. I guess the tablet is still more useful used in conjunction with the desktop, but without the PC/laptop I'll probably go back to playing games, haha.

    Literature for design steel components with solid FEM?

    Did a quick search on the criterias you're looking for and hope this helps: Connections in Steel Structures III - Behaviour, Strength and Design (Bjorhovde, Reidar; Colson, André; Zandonini, Riccardo), Design of Steel Structures - Eurocode 3: Design of Steel Structures, Part 1-1 - General Rules...

    can HR 'force' one to sign a Non-Compete agreement after 5+ years?

    Anecdotal experience from previous start-up law seminars... if you live in California, they're a state that non-competes do not hold up in. (and even if you don't, check the law for your state). Other states, the majority of them non-competes for more than 2 years will not hold in court. But...

    Non Paying Client

    For future reference, if the customer has previous payment records reported with DNB, you could look up their past payment history (how late, and if they've paid others) and risk of delinquency for free via the "When will I get paid" app.

    Aluminum compressive failure

    Not an expert. But according to Alloy Digest, Aluminum A380 Alloy has a tensil strength, psi of 42000 (typical cold chamber as-cast properties)

    Good mobile apps for engineers?

    Thanks jgailla, will check out AbleMath. Haha... yes, my primary use for my iphone and tablet is for games too, trying to see if there are better ways to put them "to work".

    Travel

    Just my very humble 2 cents. I second tickle's recommendation, Engineers Without Borders, but would recommend if you've already accepted, to put in the time, learn the trade, and go travel or work for Engineers Without Borders after, knowing you have some good experience under your belt. As...

    Good mobile apps for engineers?

    Thank you. Just seems like there's an app out there for everything else, except I can't find anything particularly useful for engineering.
