📚 Learning in 4 steps by Richard Feynman
As I am learning and thinking more about the strategies, systems & tools to make learning for students more effective, I am posting more content around that in the coming months. To prepare for the engineering cohort in Q3 this year, I am working on something behind the scenes that will at least 10x your learning experience– stay tuned! 🙂
💻 Validation and Insight Using Ansys Mechanical
Reviewing the calculated results is the most critical part of any simulation. Evaluating deformation and stresses is a primary objective of our analysis, and we may need to determine our engineered design’s safety factors. However, postprocessing also helps us verify that our model setup was correct and that we don't have unexpected behaviors we can't account for. Moreover, we can compare results from different designs to evaluate the optimal configuration.

💻 Engineering Tool of the Week – CAESES® “CAE System Empowering Simulation”
CAESES® stands for “CAE System Empowering Simulation” and its ultimate goal is to help engineers to design optimal flow-exposed products.
This software solution provides you simulation-ready parametric CAD for complex free form surfaces, and targets CFD-driven design processes. These specialized geometry models are perfectly suited for automated design explorations and shape optimization.
📚 Book of the Week
Essential Computational Fluid Dynamics
This comprehensively updated new edition covers the fundamental concepts and main methods of modern Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). With expert guidance and a wealth of useful techniques, the book offers a clear, concise, and accessible account of the essentials needed to perform and interpret a CFD analysis.
The new edition adds a plethora of new information on such topics as the techniques of interpolation, finite volume discretization on unstructured grids, projection methods, and RANS turbulence modeling. The book has been thoroughly edited to improve clarity and to reflect the recent changes in the practice of CFD.
