Finite Element Analysis

New results from Endurica. In this numerical study cyclic load is applied onto tyre surface. The load relates to the alternating driving and breaking state. This way engineers can estimate the durability of tyres and increase theirs performance. [GIF]

When the star meets a black hole. The simulation does not look like FEA, but I am not sure how it’s done, so I put it here. [GIF]
