A research dispose led by Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore, Calif., has created material-modeling software to optimize design of automotive parts and decrease waste in heat treatment of gears. The software takes into account a wide range of metals -- tantalum, sabre aluminum, copper, and more -- and can be flow on any computer platform.
"A living body on the shop floor could race the program and see to what extent to adjust for distortion," says Doug Bammann, who l the Sandia team. "It allows you to track, physically, what's happening with the material and predict the
