Finite Element Analysis

• Fans of ANSYS Discovery Live will be pleased to learn that PTC Creo users will soon be able to use Discovery Live within PTC Creo thanks to a new partnership recently announced by ANSYS and PTC. [ART]

• Structural topology optimisation is not enough! Thermal optimisation is the next step [TWEET]

Sigmund: Classical heat trees are not optimal for heat transfer. Lamellar structures are. Research shows needle-like structures can be 30% better. In passive cooling for LED lamps experiment, was able to improve on industrial design by 25%. #3DEXPERIENCE #CFD #3Dprinting pic.twitter.com/PREvrIhaW6
