  • The Hydrofoil Company – Simulating 76 Design Iterations with CFD

    Hydrofoil Design Challenges Yet in the wake of this modern hydro-era, the demands on design and performance for all of these activities have proved to be incredibly challenging. Within the surf hydrofoil market alone, designs must be extremely efficient at lower speeds, but also must be able to handle quick acceleration and be easily controlled…

  • Spark – Assessing MIRA Camera Thermal Performance

    The Challenge Spark wanted to analyze the temperature contour on the heat sinks and on the image sensor board for each of their design versions. This way they could determine which of their designs best matches the required operating conditions and as such can be prototyped. The project involved running transient FEA heat transfer simulations…

  • Tokyowheel – Optimizing Carbon Racing Wheel Aerodynamics

    The Challenge Seven years ago, carbon wheels for bikes were reserved only for the rich in Japan, as the price for a decent set was no less than a few thousand dollars. Tokyowheel’s founder, James Ferrer, set his mind to change this and give cyclists the access they wanted to high performance carbon wheels that…

  • Malaika – Designing Safer Car Seats with FEA

    The Challenge The worst situation any parent could imagine is the loss of a child. Every year in Europe alone, 400 children die as a result of motor vehicle accidents and another 2,800 suffer serious injuries causing permanent disability. The forces at play in these accidents can be enormous and quite often the resulting injuries…
