Welcome! - Introduce yourself :)

Thanks for the nice introduction @matupy!

Hey Up!
Hello everyone.
This is Sergio, a Spaniard who works as Design Engineer for industrial refrigeration industry.
My main field is Solid Mechanics, but now rocking Fluids, which is exciting and a great challenge.

I hope to learn a lot from the expertise on this field of you all, and help as much as I can, taking into account my limited knowledge.

In my spare time I follow F1 as many of you do, try to discover new and amazing places around me or far away and I will do any sport which gives a boost of adrenaline.
I am also always learning new stuff, anything that catches my eye, regardless the discipline.

Many thanks for stopping by and see you on the forum!

Hi Sergio (@kzacck) and welcome! Great to hear you are taking on a new challenge with CFD.:+1:

As an F1 follower you might enjoy our Workshop: F1 Workshop - SimScale CAE Forum. Definitely some good CFD tutorials there.

hi all,

My name is Manan and I am currently doing a PhD in CFD from the University of Southampton, UK. I’ve been in the field of CFD since many years now, having experience in commercial (Fluent, STAR-CCM+) and open source (OpenFOAM) software.

In my opinion, CFD is a really exciting field and with browser based simulation, it became even more exciting and accessible! I think the SimScale platform is a wonderful idea and I have just begun exploring its possibilities.

I do have a question actually. It may not be relevant in this topic but if SimScale staff could direct me to the right page, that would be really helpful:
I understand that currently creating topological entities manually is the only way to do so. When I am creating topological entities in a geometry with many faces, is there a way to know if I have missed a face? I have read a few topics on the forum about requests for being able to create topological entities automatically. I guess my question is kind-of related to something similar. I think it would be nice if SimScale could read part information for geometries imported from other software so that conveniently dividing the model into parts would be easier.

Kind regards,
Manan.

What I do is hide the entities as I create them; this way, if there’s any unassigned face it will stand on screen.

If all of the faces come from a single solid you can use this method: 'importTest' simulation project by akosior - #11 by dheiny

For mesh TES I look for the selected faces in the list on the right side of the viewer and check whether all of the faces created from this solid are selected (faces are named after solid).

hi @pfernandez, thanks for that suggestion. Yes it is a valid and useful method, but still time consuming.

hi @akosior, thanks for that suggestion. Yes that technique is also quite useful, will try to use that for my case.

Hi everybody!

My name is Jim, and I work for Fastway Engineering here in the Boston area (Massachusetts, USA). We teach CAD/CAE classes in a variety of software, and pride ourselves on being software “agnostic”. We don’t sell software, we focus on helping people use it the best way they can.

For fun, I stay involved in various motorsports organizations here in the US, including volunteering for the Formula SAE program, and being an active member in NASA and SCCA. I am also an F1 fan, of course, haha!

I’m really excited about Simscale, and I look forward to learning and helping as much as possible!

Welcome @fastwayjim, glad to have you in the SimScale Community! That’s great that you are involved with teaching CAD/CEA - we look forward to working with you :smile:

Hi All, my name is Arnold, I’m a building designer in Australia and I teach part time in a middle level engineering diploma program. Some years ago I had some experience with a plastic injection moulding simulation program which was a very focused application. I’m looking forward to learning about more flexible and interesting uses. To begin with I’ll try some simple airconditioning studies of my house designs and make use of at least the bright colours until I can really solve problems.
Like a lot of Australians I like to surf and also I keep a few bonsai trees (not so Aussie).

Hi @arnold1, nice to meet you here! I hope this is not too off-topic, but recently I am also looking at Air Bonsai, that floats in the air :grin: I really like the idea, and maybe one day we can simulate it on SimScale! Cheers!

We’re going to need a magic solver!

Hi All,

My name is Steven and I am from the U.S. I’m a thermal engineer for a small start-up company and a PhD student. I am very interested in analytical and numerical modeling of heat transfer and fluid mechanics processes, particularly applied to thermal management of electronics.

I am currently working on modeling the complex mechanisms of phase change processes like evaporation/condensation and boiling.

I am excited to learn all that SimScale has to offer and collaborating with all of you!

Best,
Steven

Hi @sisaacs, thanks for the nice introduction! Sounds like you are doing some interesting work - looking forward to learning more from you here!

Best,

Selwin lisand. I am a designer /constructor working on gasturbines, and i need to learn cfd

Howdy @lisand and welcome to the SimScale forum! If you need to learn CFD, we can probably help you there. Here’s some resources to get you started: A Collection of SimScale Resources

I’m getting a 404 error when I click on your link, can you edit your post and provide a working link :slight_smile:

Hello everyone!

My name is Antonio and I am from Italy. At the moment I am studying aerospace engineering (bachelor`s degree) at Università di Pisa. I like aircrafts, motorbikes and martial arts.
I have known Simscale thanks to a workshop organized by Euroavia.
I am really impressed by the capabilities of your platform combined with an user friendly interface.
Looking forward to improve my skills in CFD and to share projects with other students and professionals.

Hey Simscale team

Sad and shocked to hear about the recent mishap in Munich. Hope the team is in the best of health and spirits at the Simscale office.

Lets stay strong together with this. May god bless the affected souls.
