Tesla Plans to Create Cars That Run on Lithium-ion Batteries

CADDZOOM

The launch of electric cars and lithium-ion batteries have transformed the world of convenience and technology. Tesla is not only working for building convenient technology, but also trying to save the environment by designing highbred cars that are faster than the usual. Tesla is targeting to craft a lithium-ion battery that is capable of running a car or an electric truck for around 16 lakh km. Engineers of Tesla are infatuated with designing the world’s most competent and resourceful electric vehicles for more than a decade.

While other nations across the world are climbing to attain a seamless EV environment, Elon Musk has ensured a perfect deal of effectiveness in the field of an electric vehicle with his famous brand Tesla Motors. Consequently, Tesla cars at present travel beyond the usual on a single charge as compared to any other design of EV in the market.

  • Model S, as well as Model X vehicles, are able to travel nearly 600 km or 525 km on a single charge with a 100 kWh pack of battery.
  • Model S and Model X are now able to run with 200 kW on V3 Superchargers as well as 145 kW with V2 Superchargers. Collectively, these developments allow users to recharge the batteries faster by 50 percent as compared to the earlier models.

Why is Tesla Unique?

  • The choice of Tesla for the cylindrical cells is what differentiates the brand’s designs with other manufacturers.
  • The use of a liquid-cool thermal management system is another key feature used to make sure that the cells are operating in their efficiency as well as optimal ways. It further ensures battery life and performance.
  • The lithium-ion batteries use NMC or lithium nickel, manganese, cobalt, and oxide for ensuring positive electrode or cathode of the battery along with the artificial graphite for the battery’s negative electrode or anode.
  • Existing Tesla cars are capable of achieving around 8 lakh km from their batteries before they confront with any major issues.

As per the international market research organization, i.e., IHS Markit (China), 20 percent of the entire vehicles’ sales are to secure some type of electrification till the year 2025. On the other hand, France, as well as the UK, has made a proposition to finish the sale of the cars producing greenhouse gases by the year 2040. The key cost element of an Electric Vehicle is the battery pack. Tesla has kept its battery technology as a carefully guarded top-secret, which has surmounted the technology to a great level.

What’s new in Autodesk Revit 2020

CADDZOOM

Introduction:

Autodesk Revit is a BIM Software used to create reliable, synchronized and comprehensive Building designs and documentations. This software comes with the advanced features of 3D Visualization, enabling a person to visualize a building before it is constructed.

What is new in Autodesk Revit 2020

The New version of Revit consists of more than 25 new features and enhancements that could link, produce and optimize its users to create more accurate detailed documentation. It could more closely characterize the design extending to detailing and construction.

Features of Autodesk Revit 2020

The new competences of Revit 2020 aims at assisting its users in linking, generating, and boosting their architectural creativities. Other additional features are detailed below:

  1. Convert PDF to Revit:

The new Autodesk Revit allows its users to insert a PDF Document that is placed as a 2D object that could be modified like any other image. Also, if the PDF has a vector Data then it could be snapped to the PDF for quick tracing or drawing the line work or walls of the building.

  • Publish Cloud Models on Revit home:

This feature allows the users to easily navigate and contact different cloud models. SO whenever Revit starts, the new screen emerges simplifying the access to various cloud models, which in turn boosts the workflow efficiency, enabling the users who don’t have access to Revit to watch and refer the respective model in BIM360

  • Create Elliptical and Curtain Walls:

The 2020 version of Revit allows its users to curate Elliptical and curtain walls through the ellipse tool present in the draw panel for walls.

  • New structural Rebar tools:

It also includes a set of new fundamental rebar tools, including rebar copy and move logic, multi-rebar explanation to actual faces, and rebar in model-in-place stairs.

  • Additional Path to travel Tool:

The additional path to travel tool enables the user to determine the shortest distance between two points in ground planning

  • Improved and advanced filters:

The new Autodesk Revit 2020 is a perfect assimilation of a new and improved version of the OR filter functionality, enabling the users to choose a specific OR Filter type and accordingly select a particular parameter.

5 Trends in the Aerospace Industry

CADDZOOM

The global aerospace industry is undergoing significant changes due to innovation and digital transformation. These changes focus on improving propulsion, autonomous system, additive manufactured parts, and maintenance, repair, & operation (MRO). These trends add complexity to the flight system which can be addressed by using multiphysics simulation solution. Read below to gain in-depth about these evolving trends of Aerospace Industry:

Use of Electric and Hybrid Engines to reduce Flight Costs and Emissions

The future aircraft engines need to output more power, produce less noise, consume less fuel, and emit fewer emissions. In order to achieve this, the aerospace industry is working on improving the efficiency of combustion engines and exploring electric and hybrid propulsion systems. This enhancement in the aircraft will directly reduce the flight costs as well.

Autonomous Flight System

Autonomous drones are the future of the aerospace industry. Many companies are building a business case for local air transportation called urban air mobility (UAM). The idea behind UAM is to build an autonomous flight system.

Maintenance, Repair, and Operation (MRO) will depend on Simulated Data

The increase in the number of aircraft is helping MRO market to grow steadily. The simulated data can be used to predict the performance and functioning of aircraft. Therefore, it will help the industry to understand better, and predict, how systems are performing. 

Additive Manufactured Parts

Additive manufacturing parts combined with topology optimization and can help engineers to simplify maintenance, save fuel, and make the supply chain more efficient.

Use of Multiphysics Simulation Solution

Multiphysics simulations solution will reduce complexity and minimize risk in the Aerospace Industry. It will help in predicting how the aircraft systems will react in the real world.

All in all, virtual realities and multiphysics simulation are the only solutions to test the future aircraft systems and to predict how these systems will react to possible situations in the short timeframe.
