The Satellite Communication Applications Handbook
The first edition of The Satellite Communication Applications Handbook established an important milestone in industry publications by defining the different application segments and providing up-to-date design and development information. The handbook is intended for anyone interested in satellite communications, whether an active member of the industry or someone considering entry into one of its segments. The book can be read sequentially so as to follow the thread of developing ideas and processes, or it can be used as a reference on any of the specific topics, outlined next. A technical background, while helpful, is not necessary for understanding the principles and the majority of concepts in this book. This book provides a comprehensive review of the applications that have driven this growth. It discusses the technical and business aspects of the systems and services that operators and users exploit to make money, serve and protect, and even have fun. The book is organized into four parts, which deal with the most fundamental areas of concern to application developers and users: the technical and business fundamentals, the application of simplex (broadcast) links to multiple users, duplex links that deliver two-way interactive services, and regulatory and business affairs that drives investment and financial performance. The 13 chapters of the book fall nicely into these general categories.

Generative Part Stress Analysis
This application is intended for the casual user. Indeed, its intuitive interface offers the possibility to obtain mechanical behavior information with very few interactions. The dialog boxes are self explanatory and require practically no methodology, all defining steps being commutative. The product CATIA - Generative Assembly Structural Analysis has been designed as a very useful extension to CATIA - Generative Part Structural Analysis enabling the mechanical behavior study of a Whole assembly. This product is fully integrated in Generative Part Structural Analysis product and has been conceived with the same "easy to learn" and "fun to use" ergonomy creating then a very powerful tool.
