SimWeek 23-24

Written on June 17th, 2018 by Slawomir Polanski

Finite Element Analysis

• The company I am working for organises UK Simulia Symposium on Tuesday 3rd July at Aerospace Bristol. Would like to catch up on new technologies? or maybe meet other engineers from worldwide known engineering companies? then this event is for you! All commercial Abaqus, and FEA users in general are invited. Register HERE.

• Another great video from 4P Ingenieria. Simulation performed in Calculix and presented in Salome/Paraview [MOV]

• Head impact simulation stress done with LS-Dyna [MOV]

• Proof of great plotting quality on 3DExperience platform [MOV]

• An article about plasticity and isotropic/kinematic hardening from Enterfea blog. Great as always! [ART]

Computational Fluid Dynamics

• SIMWEEK has been noticed by people from POINTWISE! Thank you guys for sharing my stuff! [ART]

• Great visualization of surface vorticity field in Black Sea [MOV]

• Convergent Science has just started World Cup 2018! [MOV]

• GIFs from NASA are always outstanding… [GIF]

Introduction to #ComputationalFluidDynamics: Part Deux! On June 14th, join the 2nd lecture in our webinar series, which will cover finite difference methods including compact schemes & Taylor Tables. https://t.co/B9wlnspLku pic.twitter.com/dQQ3V9tr0T

• Cavitation bubbles carries by the tip vortex of a ships propeller [TWEET]

• A very detailed 3D scan used in CFD simulation [TWEET]

We offer full 3D scanning services here at Totalsim, which we can feed directly into our CFD software. Check out more at: https://t.co/y44PqJovDt#TEAMTS #Scanning #3D #CFD pic.twitter.com/vW8S00ZZCi

Other types of simulation

• Explanation of an upwind cell centred Finite Volume Method for nearly incompressible explicit solid dynamics in openFOAM [TWEET]

• Wheel loader multi-body dynamics modelled in ThreeParticle Simulation [TWEET]

This #SimulationFriday we present an industrial application with our new and built-in multi-body dynamics solver - extend the capabilities of DEM and #ThreeParticle with many different constraint and joint types. pic.twitter.com/vi9janUkzc

• Pressure evolution using Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics method and a funny bunny [MOV]

• 2-way coupling example of a gas fluidized bed using Rocky DEM solver and Fluent [MOV]

Engineering

• Human powered helicopter. The invention of such tremendous mind finally built by engineers [MOV]

• Become a surgeon with Virtual Reality [TWEET]

Amazed by the potential of #VR #Haptjcs @SenseGlove to transform How We Learn #MedEd #Surgery #Simulation Stay tuned for our project! “So Virtually Real, that Reality is the only Better thing” @ExponentialMed https://t.co/7Nm2oU7kSU @The5thConf @BrennanSpiegel @daniel_kraft pic.twitter.com/TqLP6zSNPT

• Buying perfect shoes online - £100. Do not have to wait in womens shoes shop - priceless. [MOV]

• 3D Scanning a Radial Flow Impeller and reverse engineering it in CAD for FEA with Eora 3D Scanner. [ART]

• Vortex fountain at the Canberra Airport [MOV]

Vortex fountains are quite impressive features in gardens, squares and public spaces: this one is at the Canberra Airport and this is how it works: https://t.co/kgZL50Ldkb pic.twitter.com/SzpdGA1KMS
