  • Guide to Nonlinear Material Models

    Your linear FEA results say the bracket is fine. The prototype just cracked in testing. What went wrong? Chances are, the part entered the plastic range. While your linear model flagged the high stress, it couldn’t tell you what happens next. Does the part redistribute load and survive? Does it deform permanently but still function?…

  • Bolt Connectors: Simplifying Structural Analysis

    As engineers and designers strive to develop simulation-driven structural designs efficiently and accurately, it is important to minimize the simulation setup complexity and requirements in the simulation tool. This, in turn, helps save time and computational resources. Bolt connectors are one aspect of structural design that engineers tend to struggle with, especially due to their…

  • Structural Optimization for Simulation-Driven Design

    Structural optimization is a design method that ensures designs are strong, efficient, and cost-effective early in their design cycle. Structures must be optimized for the best possible performance with the least material usage, reducing costs and environmental impact. In industries like aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering, optimizing structures ensures safety, reliability, and sustainability. Yet, traditional…

  • SimScale’s Summer Product Update

    While the temperature has been heating up this summer, so are things on the SimScale Platform! Since our last product update announcement, we’ve been working hard to implement what our users are asking for, to make SimScale the very best it can be. In this release blog post, we will cover seven updates users can…

  • SimScale Enables Compliance with City of London Wind Microclimate Guidelines for New Developments

    Urban microclimates affect more than the hustle and bustle of busy high streets. They can dictate everything from building energy performance and the implementation of renewable energy technologies to necessary safety precautions for pedestrians and cyclists. Last year, the City of London reassessed and reclassified their acceptable microclimate conditions, in an effort to prevent future…
