Finite Element Analysis

• The power of Open Source. I don’t know Spanish, but according to Google translate, this is the example of exhaust pipe support modelled using hyperalistic material model with contact and large deformation. Everything done in Calculix and Paraview. Zero cost FEA for all! [ART]

• Would you like to win iPad or GoPro Hero5? Try yourself in Project Of The Year organised by Dassault Systemes [ART]

• ANSYS Discovery 19.1 Updates [VID]

• Digital Twin technology is a future? It looks like it’s already here! [VID]

Computational Fluid Dynamics

• Hyperflux test case: Cold jet flow from a serrated nozzle using zCFD (URANS) [VID]

• Study of a square array of tubes in water crossflow. Truly engineering soundtrack! [VID]

• There was already the baloon example in Comsol… Now it’s time to check Convergence CFD [VID]

Other types of simulation

• Simulation of an excavation process using LIGGGHTS (Open Source DEM code created by DCS Computing) [VID]

Engineering

• Slow motion of a golf ball hitting a steel plate at 150mph shot at 70,000fps. [VID]

• A very technical video showing what caused the fatal accident of Airbus helicopter in 2016 in Norway. [VID]

• Radial engine hanged on the wall - someone should make a wall clock of it! [VID]
