		<description><![CDATA[The American Heritage dictionary defines a utility as: (yū-tĭl&#8217;ĭ-tē) n., pl., -ties. The quality or condition of being useful; usefulness: A useful article or device. A public utility. A commodity or service, such as electricity, water, or public transportation, that is provided by a public utility.

		<description><![CDATA[Let’s discuss the difference between the linear solver and the dynamic solver with a case study. Take the example of an engineer slamming his head on his desk after getting poor simulation results from his linear solver. In scenario #1, the engineer lightly places his head on his desk then proceeds to slowly press down [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does SolidWorks sometime feel like it&#8217;s working at a turtle&#8217;s pace? The problem might stem from being connected to a network! Working on a network is great, and in today&#8217;s age it&#8217;s basically required. Unplugging from the network could solve a lot of issues, but usually isn&#8217;t feasible. The problem is that so much stuff [...]]]></description>

Before we begin, let’s discuss the physics of radiation. On a simple level, radiation from a heat source (any heat source) travels in waves. These waves [...]]]></description>
