Last week for Heritage Day, the eNtsa team stepped away from the office to explore the rich history and heritage of Gqeberha. From historical landmarks to stories that shaped Port Elizabeth, the tour was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the city we call home.

A reminder that heritage isn’t just about looking back. it’s about understanding where we come from and carrying those stories forward.

A unique piece of South African sporting history has been digitally preserved through collaboration between eNtsa and the Nelson Mandela University Visual Arts Department.

Using eNtsa’s advanced 3D scanning capabilities, our team captured detailed digital models of two bronze sculptures depicting Nelson Mandela and Francois Pienaar during the iconic 1995 Rugby World Cup victory, a moment that united a nation and remains one of the most significant milestones in South Africa’s history.

This project highlights how engineering and digital technologies can support the preservation of cultural and historical assets for future generations.

🌊 Preparing our Smart Buoy for extreme weather

eNtsa recently collaborated with the Nelson Mandela University Emergency Medical Care (EMC) team to service our Smart Buoy ahead of expected extreme weather conditions.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Mr Travis Trower, Mr Paul Allan and their students for making the Nelson Mandela University EMC equipment available and combining a valuable training exercise with the required buoy servicing.

The Smart Buoy is an important research platform that provides real-time sea-state information to researchers at the Marine Robotics Unit, supporting ongoing monitoring and research in our marine environment.

🤝 Collaboration across disciplines helps keep our research infrastructure operational, resilient and ready for whatever conditions the ocean brings.

Congratulations to Hubert Van Der Merwe (Pr. Eng.) on an outstanding achievement!🎉

Hubert has been crowned the winner of the MSC Apex Pro User Challenge, hosted by SIMTEQ Engineering (Cadence | MSC Software partner), with the award presented at the recent SIMTEQ User Conference.

The MSC Apex User Challenge is a highly competitive simulation event where participants are tested on their ability to efficiently perform geometry cleanup, pre-processing, and meshing under strict time constraints. Competitors are tasked with transforming a complex industry CAD model into a fully stitched, error-free, analysis-ready FEA mesh in record time.

This achievement is a testament to Hubert's exceptional technical expertise, precision, and problem-solving skills. Well done, Hubert we are incredibly proud of you and this well-deserved recognition! 👏🏆
