COVID-19 and working from home. Businesses in most countries have been severely effected by the coranavirus pandemic that emerged in late 2019 and quickly spread around the world. Severe measures have been implemented to mitigate the spread and to slow the growth, such as social distancing and working from home.  Luckily many analysis and research engineers can continue their work from home, and even have found time to learn new skills and new software tools.  Leading CAE vendors such as Friendship Systems, the makers of CAESES, have offered their customers home licenses at no additional cost.  Others such as CFD Support, have offered an unprecedented discount of 50% on their flagship software TCFD, until the end of April.  Please contact for more details.  And in the meantime, keep mindful of social distancing and stay safe!
