\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tChoosing hardware for LS-DYNA: what actually matters\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Buying a new workstation for Ansys LS-DYNA is not the same as buying one for general FEA or CFD. The LS-DYNA solver puts unusual demands on a machine, and the parts that matter most depend on the type of analysis you run. This means that a high price tag or large core count on a spec sheet won\u2019t necessarily guarantee you faster results \u2013 so you need to carefully consider where it is worth spending your hard-earned money. This guide covers the three things that LEAP\u2019s Explicit Dynamics team advises you to look at first.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

Engineers spend a surprising amount of time keeping information consistent. When a requirement changes, then someone has to work out which calculations, drawings and test plans are affected. It is engineering work, but it\u2019s manual, easy to get wrong, and hard to trace afterwards. Model Based Systems Engineering, or MBSE, is a way of avoiding that. Rather than describing a product across a set of separate documents, MBSE captures it in one connected model.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

Engineers rely heavily on calculations in their daily work, yet a significant amount of their time is spent on checking, reworking, and explaining these calculations rather than solving problems. This article explains how Mathcad Prime 12 addresses these challenges, transforming calculations into clear, interactive engineering documentation. <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

Mining has always demanded ingenuity, but the pressures of the past few years have sharpened that need considerably. For mine operators, the fastest way to capture both benefits isn\u2019t always buying a brand-new fleet. Often, it\u2019s retrofitting the diesel haul trucks they already own. In this guest blog, EPCA walks us through how their simulation-led retrofit approach compresses development timelines, preserves existing asset value, and delivers reliable, zero-emission haulage, even in the face of environmental and geopolitical headwinds.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t
