Exploring the radiation pattern of a half-wave dipole antenna
Explore the half-wave dipole antenna, a simple and widely used antenna. Such an antenna emits a well-known torus-like omnidirectional radiation pattern.
Behaviour of an electromagnetic wave in 3D
Learn about electromagnetic waves with this animated representation showing the perpendicular electric and magnetic components in action.
SideFX launches Houdini for Apple Silicon
Houdini for M1 and M2 processors comes after a year-long beta period. The premier 3D VFX application is now optimised for the latest generation of Macs.
iPad external display support

Linear workflows with DWAA lossy compression
Hitting a few walls in return for files at a fraction of their lossless size.
Tapered roller bearings
In many applications tapered roller bearings are used in back-to-back pairs so that axial forces can be supported equally in either direction.
Airfield windsock
A windsock is used to maintain a visual indication of wind direction and strength and is typically located at the end of the runway.
North Atlantic High Level Airspace
Discover the six oceanic area control centres that make up the North Atlantic High Level Airspace.
Latitude and longitude visualised
Two models illustrated here serve as a useful reference indicating 10° latitude and longitude intervals on the Earth.
