It is widely known that one of the biggest focal points of Automotive OEM Research and development in recent years has been electric vehicles. It represents quite a challenge because while OEM manufacturers are very skilled at building internal combustion … Read More

With March Madness beginning today (US college basketball tournament), I was asked to create a basketball simulation, so here we go! Let’s try a three-pointer with backspin from 8 meters. It hits the back board a bit low and off … Read More

According to Wikipedia, “Multiphysics is a computational discipline which treats simulations that involve multiple physical models or multiple simultaneous physical phenomena.  For example, combining chemical kinetics and fluid mechanics or combining finite elements with molecular dynamics. Multiphysics typically involves solving coupled systems of partial differential equations.” What does this imply for … Read More

As CAE engineers, we are proud of how we manage to tame the laws of nature in our models, but let’s face it – not everyone shares our passion for complex meshed models in sixty-four colors, cluttered with multi-point constraint … Read More

There has long been a debate in engineering, whether incremental improvement or new design is better for approaching a project. The incremental approach is often less expensive, less risky, and faster, which are all attributes valued by business. On the … Read More
