A wide range of industries are taking their single physics simulation tools and moving towards a multiphysics approach which couples two or more solvers to… Read More »ANSYS Simplorer – High Fidelity System Simulation
Today we present a new and easy way to transfer loads from DEM simulations (ROCKY version 3.0 released September 2014) to ANSYS using External Data… Read More »Breakthrough in accurate load mapping for bulk materials applications: DEM – FEA Coupling with ROCKY 3.0 and ANSYS (Part 1)
Flow-generated noise can have significantly adverse effects on our everyday lives. Product designers and engineers at the world’s most innovative and successful companies have recognised this fact, and are increasingly using CFD to incorporate noise mitigation strategies into their product design process.
In February 2014, Curtin Motorsport Team’s Frame & Body Technical Lead Nisarg Thakrar and Chassis Thesis Project Lead John Christensen conducted torsional stiffness validation testing… Read More »Guest Blog: Results Validation at Curtin Motorsport
With gas prices predicted to skyrocket in the next few years, an opportunity exists for engineers and designers of gas-fired appliances at smart manufacturers to use CFD to gain an edge in the competitive Australian market.
Combustion technology underpins almost every facet of our modern life, from electricity generation to industrial heaters/furnaces through to automotive engines. Increasing social and economic pressure to minimise energy use and reduce pollution is driving the use of CFD to improve the efficiency of combustion processes.
In today’s marketplace companies are using simulation technology more and more in their product development process to make product development faster and to produce better… Read More »Designing Quieter Products With Computer Aided Engineering
Often companies are under huge pressure to minimise the cost and weight of their products and optimise their design. Finite element technology allows engineers to… Read More »Topological Optimisation with FEA
Mixing processes are critical to a wide range of industrial applications across the the paint, food, pharmaceutical, minerals and water treatment industries. CFD is becoming fundamental to the successful operation of mixing processes including clarification, cell culture growth, fermentation, polymerization and blending.
Phil Durbin from Finite Elements explains the untold CFD story of the design and testing of James Cameron’s DeepSea Challenger, a solo manned submarine that ventured 11km down to the deepest place on earth, the Marianas Trench, in March 2012.
