  • 5 Essential Tips for Product Designers and Engineers

    From sketch to the end result, product creation is a journey. The product design world is a mix of vision and pragmatism, combined with creativity, technical skills, and entrepreneurship. Industrial product design often relates to the discrete manufacturing of any product, from large mass electronics and domestic goods to very specific appliances and industrial machinery. Regardless of the…

  • Renewable Energy and the Role of Engineering Simulation

    Renewable energy was born out of the need to discover and develop alternative solutions to classic fossil energy based on nature recycling phenomena like wind power, solar bright, water force, post-volcanic emanations, or biofuel improvement. Other renewable power technology—like waves, tidal, and electric cars—are also emerging. R&D investments in the dynamic processes of renewable energy…

  • What Everybody Needs to Know about CAE

    Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the broad usage of computer software in analyzing and virtually testing engineering products. With a CAE tool, you can simulate, validate, and optimize products based on the results of a numerical analysis. CAE solutions are used in a wide range of industries to analyze the robustness and improve the performance of components and…

  • 10 Reasons Why Cloud-Based CAD and CAE are the Better Options

    Today, cloud-based software is rapidly becoming the new “normal” across all sectors, including the engineering industry. Here are the top 10 advantages of cloud-based CAD and CAE solutions which make more and more engineering companies shift to the cloud: [two_tier_heading top_line=”Cloud-based CAE” heading=”1. Saving Time”] With the SaaS model, there are no hardware installations or configurations.…

  • How to Increase the Performance of Heavy Equipment with CAE

    Known also as “engineering equipment” or “heavy machines,” heavy equipment represents a large category of heavy-duty vehicles and big industrial machinery. Common attributes of heavy equipment are strength, oversized dimensions, working performance, and a long lifecycle because heavy equipment is an essential component of the workflow process in many powerful and demanding industries. Heavy equipment is commonly used…

  • Engineering Challenges in Architecture and Construction

    In architecture and construction, there are a number of technical and standard criteria that should be taken into consideration: structural behavior, seismic risks, spatial flexibility, energy efficiency, as well as thermal comfort and environmental impact. In recent years, a broad spectrum of computer software and more specialized applications packages were created for handling complex engineering…

  • Simulation’s Role in the Oil and Gas Industry

    In a previous article, I wrote about the role that simulation can play in the design and optimization of mining equipment. This time, I would like to continue with a discussion on the broader topic of simulation’s role in the natural resources sector. This article will pay special attention to oil and gas applications and the…

  • HVAC Equipment Optimization with the SimScale Platform

    HVAC is one of the many industries facing many challenges related to digital transformation and emerging technologies in product and process manufacturing, construction building, or factory and plant infrastructure design. HVAC equipment and systems are an essential element in a number of areas from home heating and ventilation to industrial ecosystems based on energy savings, thermal…

  • 75 Years of the Finite Element Method (FEM)

    Finite Element Analysis simulation concept developed from the theoretical basis established by the finite element method (FEM), which was founded with the publication of a set of scientific papers in the 1940s. Created as numerical techniques for finding approximate solutions to boundary value problems for partial differential equations, FEM software is based on a problem…
