  • Boosting Employee Engagement: The SimScale Photo Challenge

    The Importance of Employee Engagement at SimScale At SimScale, we prioritize the well-being and engagement of our employees and strive to foster a supportive and inclusive workplace culture. Recently, we organized our third photo challenge — a great initiative to connect with our team members, especially since a majority of us work remotely around the…

  • Structural Resonance: How to Mitigate it?

    Have you ever seen footage of a bridge swaying dangerously in the wind or felt a building vibrating unexpectedly during an earthquake? These are classic examples of structural resonance. If not properly addressed, this phenomenon can cause severe damage to structures, resulting in catastrophic failures and significant financial losses. Structural resonance occurs when a structure’s…

  • The Future of Machine Design: Industrial Equipment Meets Cloud-Native Simulation

    The industrial equipment industry is at a transformative crossroads. With a heightened focus on sustainability and the rapid shift to electrification and energy transition, companies face relentless pressure to innovate, cut costs, and improve efficiencies. And the stakes are high: they must deliver cutting-edge products faster, cheaper, and more sustainably without compromising quality or performance.…

  • Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM): Overview & Simulation

    What is a Switched Reluctance Motor? Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is a type of electric motor characterized by its simple and robust design. As its name suggests, it operates based on reluctance torque rather than electromagnetic torque. The term “switched” refers to the motor’s reliance on power-switching transistors for its operation. It consists of a…

  • 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…

  • Boosting Turbomachinery Design with AI Simulation

    Turbomachinery design demands innovative methods to explore vast design spaces with high precision. Traditional design and simulation approaches, relying on proprietary correlations and simplified models, often fail to provide the accuracy needed to minimize the need for large safety margins and optimize designs effectively and efficiently. The challenge intensifies with harmonizing simulation results for new…
