How modelling and simulation helped build the world's largest observation wheel

When you are building the largest observation wheel in the world, Las Vegas' High Roller, you had better make sure that you use the best-engineered components and processes. When SKF teamed up with Arup, the observation wheel designer, and American Bridge, the construction contractor, to design the main spindle and hub arrangements, it applied the latest analysis and design tools to ensure that the wheel keeps turning day and night.
