Hi! I am new in 3d printing. Can you guide suggest to me which delta printer you use or which one is best? There are many options on the internet so I am confused.
I do want to get my feet wet into building a kit (I’ve been building computers for awhile now, and I realize that that is not the same as building a computer) and don’t mind trying out to learn how to build more complicated stuff like a delta printer, as I am preparing in the future to build the RepRap Helios (when it gets released) so I thought this is a good time to start. I really look forward to hearing back from you all on what you would recommend as a good (or excellent very good whichever you prefer ) Delta printer
Hello Michael! It’s great to see you as a part of our community. That’s a very interesting subject of yours. I would say you could either go with a Conjugate Heat Transfer, or a Convective Heat Transfer simulation depending on your interest.
Conjugate Heat Transfer, if you are interested in the heat transfer in the fluid, and solid domain as well. For a conjugate heat transfer simulation, following tutorial should be a good start to understand the simulation settings:
Convective Heat Transfer, if you have know the temperature values on your solid boundaries, and only interested in the heat transfer in the air domain in your patio. Considering your application, to make a good start with a convective heat transfer simulation, following tutorial should be a good choice:
Once you feel comfortable running the simulations on tutorials, you can adjust your boundary conditions which will be the pre-defined values at your boundaries according to, let’s say, the grill temperature for your application.
Please let us know how your project goes! I’m sure many of our community members would be interested in the results of this application.
Hi All,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m a software engineer and SaaS business owner by day (payments), but I love exploring new technologies and new software on my computer. I looked at a variety of CFD software packages before I found SimScale.
Right now, I’m working on designing a new HVAC system for my home. I want to use an Air-to-Water Heat Pump system (hot and chilled water). I also want room-by-room zoning. Due to the construction of my house, it is not feasible to use a conventional central AC unit. I am designing a system that runs off multiple (11-12) hydronic coils and duct fans, essentially with a fan for each zone. I am also paying attention to the aesthetics of my HVAC vents. Thats what brought me to SimScale. I have some vents that I like but I want to run them at high velocity/high static pressure and I need to simulate how that will work in real life.
Thus far I have tested this system experimentally, however I’m looking forward to being able to use a more exact and less time-consuming method.
If anyone has any questions about this, feel free to ask!
Hello Justin, and welcome to SimScale community! Please feel free to post your questions on the Forum as well, in case you have any.
If you’re gonna perform different simulations in several operating conditions, I’d recommend you to check out this knowledge base article. This should come in handy.
Have a great time while using SimScale! 
Hello Everyone,
I see that there hasn’t been much activity here lately, but I wanted to introduce myself! I’m a research scientist working as a contractor at NASA Ames Research Center in the San Francisco Bay Area. I work on modeling heat and mass transfer in ablative heatshields during atmospheric entry and I’m currently using CFD to simulate the quadcopter for the future Dragonfly mission to Titan. I stumbled on upon SimScale a few weeks ago and I find it extremely exciting!
I’ve spent a long time looking for CFD software that I can use for personal projects at home and up until now I’ve mostly been using OpenFOAM. Being able to run simulations in the browser without a high-end workstation is a game changer, not to mention the ease of meshing complex geometries and fantastic UI!
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed looking through the tutorials and validation cases, and I hope to use SimScale to improve my CFD skills and familiarize myself with other applications. Right now, I’m exploring the electromagnetics solver which is an application that I don’t have that much experience with, but seems very interesting!
I’m looking forward to continuing to explore SimScale and seeing what more it has to offer!

Hi and welcome @jthornton232 
CAE Engineer here currently working on freelance basis. I mostly work on 3D mechanical design and specialize on FEA. I do delve on CFD simulation on hobby basis for my custom built roadbike with OpenFOAM before stumbling on SimScale. Pretty exciting myself for the same reason without having to worry about purchasing and maintaining highend hardware!

Hi @ahafeezs,
Yes, it is pretty exciting stuff! I’ve mostly been looking at tutorials and verification cases, so far but I hope to start some hobby projects soon. Hope to see you around the forum!
