In part two of his guest blog series, Julio Martins, former Aerodynamics & Cooling Lead, UNSW Redback Racing explains the growth in understanding gained during the design of RB24 by simulating the aerodynamic package performance in Roll, Pitch, Yaw and Heave as well as analysis of the balance shift with different front and rear wing DRS flap settings.
Product development cycles face competing pressures – accelerate development and ensure reliability, all while balancing cost control and flexibility to innovate. Since engineers are under constant pressure to deliver faster, safer, and more cost-effective designs, we need a way to evaluate trade-offs ‑early, before design freedom is lost. Ansys OptiSLang is built precisely for this purpose, by changing the paradigm from “simulate to check” to “simulate to discover”.
The second instalment of our two-part Creo 12 webinar series focused enhancements to Creo’s integrated design, simulation, and manufacturing capabilities. In this article we provide the highlights of that presentation, demonstrating how Creo 12 provides industry-leading composite capabilities, expanded Model-Based Definition, improved real-time simulation, and streamlined manufacturing workflows.
Working at the bleeding-edge of engineering simulations, LEAP’s engineers are frequently asked for advice from our clients across many different industries, who are looking to successfully navigate the balance between cost and optimal solver performance when purchasing new hardware. The following advice is primarily based on LEAP’s accumulated recent experience with a particular focus on CFD workloads (Ansys Fluent), as FVM codes are capable of scaling incredibly well if the system is well designed.
The LEAP PTC team recently ran a two-part webinar series outlining the key updates and enhancements included in Creo 12, designed to simplify workflows and improve usability. In this article we have provided video highlights of the presentation including live demonstrations of these exciting new features in action.
Team Lunar has been competing in STEM Racing since 2022, and has become one of the most dominant Australian teams in the program. The team placed 3rd at the World Finals in Saudi Arabia in 2024, and won back-to-back Australian National Finals. From Brighton Grammar School in Melbourne, the team comprising of 5 year 11 students: Leo Jansen, Max Zylberman, Oliver Chernikeeff, Liam Jones and Max Zhou has become the eighth team from Australia to be crowned STEM Racing (formerly F1 in Schools) World Champions, supported with LEAP’s industry-standard simulation and 3D rendering software.
This post summarises our recent live panel discussion on materials calibration for discrete element method (DEM) modelling of bulk solids where we had the privilege of hosting industry leaders Daniel Grasser, Consulting Engineer at Tundra Bulk Solids and Richard Elliott, Technical Director – Bulk Handling at Rockfield Technologies. They were joined by DEM specialists from LEAP: Angelo Christakakis, Application Engineer & Technical Lead – DEM as well as Josh Hately, Engineering Solutions Manager, who moderated the discussion.
Dr. Aakash Shaun Hurry’s PhD research set out to answer a simple but powerful question: can inspiration from nature help us design more efficient heat exchangers? In this guest blog article, Dr Hurry describes how he used a combination of CFD simulation, additive manufacturing, and laboratory testing to explore how the microscopic scales of shark denticles could be applied to heat exchanger fins to improve heat transfer and overall performance.
Creo Simulate Elite features structural analysis tools that allow you to evaluate product integrity inside the design phase and within the familiar Creo environment, and is included in the latest Creo subscription bundles (Creo Design Essentials, Creo Design Advanced and Creo Design Advanced Professional). In this article which includes highlights from our recent webinar on the topic, we discuss Creo Simulate Elite’s capabilities, walk you through the installation process, explain the simulation workflow and finally, demonstrate Creo Simulate Elite in action.
