#throwbackthursday | How to Check the Fitness of Your Geometry Models We love to automate our optimization studies! Let’s say you want to optimize the hydrodynamics of your ship hull, the efficiency of your turbomachine, or the flow rate through your engine component – you’d want to set up an automated workflow where you simulate a big set of designs with CFD and then let your optimization algorithms figure out the best combination of design variables to zero in on the optimum design. The tricky part is how to automate the creation of designs when the geometries are complex with lots of trimming, Boolean operations, fillets, etc. You need a very robust geometry engine and that’s where CAESES comes in. However, that’s not the only challenge because we also need to consider constraints. Even if we can robustly generate our designs, they need to meet all sorts of constraints such as geometric (e.g. does it have the correct volume, area, orientation), manufacturing (e.g. can you make it), space/packaging (e.g. does it fit), and design (e.g. will it break). Fortunately, CAESES also has some great tools for visual and numerical checks as well as embedded optimization capabilities to tune your design variables in order to make sure your constraints are not violated. If you want to optimize your designs, then why not give CAESES a try! https://lnkd.in/gdeQuDGH #geometry #cad #cae #cfd #optimization #automation

BEAM ANALYSIS IN MSC APEX Beam analysis in solid mechanics requires a combination of statics, stress formulas, and calculations of moments of inertia. Although it's useful for students to know how to do all of those analyses using hand calculations, it's easy for them to miss the big picture. Simulation tools can help. In this video, I show how to do a variety of beam analyses in less than 8 minutes: https://lnkd.in/eGp3Zrkz FWIW, it's so tedious to calculate shear, bending moment, and deflection diagrams that I'd always use a computer-aided engineering tool—at least a home-brew script—to design any real beam. So why not use some simulation from the start? I have related assignments and lesson plans—just let me know if you're interested in trying this in the classroom. PS I took the PE Mechanical shortly after making the tool shown here and my exam had a lot of beam problems so I kept wishing I had Apex and my custom tool! 🤣 #FEA #finiteelementanalysis #engineeringeducation #MSCApex #Nastran MSC Software Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence

MODEL A ROD IN TORSION IN MSC APEX My next video shows the whole FEA process from blank screen to results in 11 minutes. If you're brand new to FEA, follow along to make your first model! https://lnkd.in/gs9pCS8D FEA is great for revealing the stress and displacement in solid parts so it's compelling for a solid mechanics course. If you're an instructor and you want related resources, send me a message. Also, if you're generally interested in teaching engineering with simulation, get in touch—I can offer technical support and create content for you. #FEA #finiteelementanalysis #engineeringeducation #MSCApex #Nastran MSC Software Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence

Tech Tip Tuesdays with Ansys Optics: Automated #Optomechanical STOP Analysis with Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Zemax OpticStudio and Ansys optiSLang The optical product development process requires the optical performance under real-world conditions to be checked and understood. One specialized case is optomechanical analysis, which means to consider the combination and interactions of optical and mechanical components. In this example, the optical performance of a three-lens system is analyzed with consideration of the structural and thermal analysis of its housing. The goal is to avoid mechanical and thermal impacts reducing the system’s optical performance dramatically. The thermal-mechanical system and the optical system will be coupled in an automated workflow to be used for design exploration. Step 1: Mechanical Model Demonstrates the structural and thermal analysis for the determination of lens temperature and deformation distribution due to thermal impact and lens mounting. Step 2: OpticStudio Model Demonstrates the optical simulation. OpticStudio solves the optical #simulation with and without considering deformations. Step 3: optiSLang Project Demonstrates the automated optomechanical analysis coupling Mechanical inside Workbench and Zemax OpticStudio and STAR module and design exploration capabilities of optiSLang. This is reached by performing a Sensitivity study to identify important input parameters and to get a design understanding by creating Metamodels showing the relationship between input and output parameters.

Although we weren't able to make it to the RAPID + TCT #AdditiveManufacturing event in person this week, our Managing Director, James Shaw, was still able to provide a quick Metal AM #Design & #Simulation Presentation on Monday, including a live demo of Ansys's coupled transient thermal-structural capabilities for #PBF and #DED print simulation. The Q&A convo in a nutshell: 📊 Orthotropic material properties like Modulus & CTE are critical to accuracy. 👩💻 No coding/scripting needed, this is out-of-the-box functionality. 📜 The DED Worksheet Wizard allows for easy step-by-step setup for simulation novices. ♨ Heat Transfer Coefficients can be estimated, and then sensitivity analyses can be run to dial in the distortion prediction. 🌬 Ideally, CFD Analyses would be conducted to characterize and optimize the build environment. 🏗 Every step of the build process can be taken into account: Build, Cool, Removal, and even Heat Treating within a single analysis. ✈ 🚀 🛰 Aerospace continues to be the most popular application.
