4 ways to post-process your OnScale results

September 5, 2019 by Cyprien 12 Comments

If you are an FEA simulation engineer or a Designer trying to take some serious design decisions using OnScale, you know probably that how to analyze the data you obtain from simulation is critical. This step is called “Post-processing”, because it comes right after the successful simulation of your design. In short, post-processing is the […]

How to post-process OnScale Results in Paraview

September 2, 2019 by Cyprien Leave a Comment

This is a quick video to teach you: How to export your onscale results in paraview vtu format How to open that in paraview and apply a simple filter I’ll show you here as an exemple how to apply the “Cell Data to Node Data” filter to view onscale stress results at the nodes. If […]

How to simulate a PZT Disc in OnScale?

August 12, 2019 by Cyprien 4 Comments

The most “basic” type of device capable of harnessing piezoelectricity is called a PZT Disc. It’s used in a lot of sensors, electronic filters,… etc I decided to make a video to teach you how to simulate one with OnScale. If you don’t have access to YouTube, click here to view the video. Why OnScale? […]

All the things you always wanted to know about electronic filters

May 18, 2019 by Cyprien 1 Comment

I started some weeks ago to talk about FEA simulation in the acoustic area with this article… and I am just starting! Today, I wanted to present to you a “new” type of electronic device that you can simulate in FEA: Filters! (Ok, nothing new about filters… they have been here for decades! But being […]

How to calculate Natural frequencies and mode shapes of a PZT Disc in OnScale?

May 10, 2019 by Cyprien Leave a Comment

If you become familiar with OnScale, one of the things that you may wondering is how to calculate natural frequencies of your model… This is the kind of things that deserves to be explained a bit more in details! The real world is time domain. You might be used to doing modal analysis, but it’s […]

Why would you ever put your FEA in the cloud? and how?

April 23, 2019 by Cyprien 7 Comments

A lot of companies now are talking about the « cloud » but not everyone knows what it actually means… As you might be required at some time or another to run your FEA “into the cloud”… better understand what is means ;-) As usual, let’s break down what it means and make everything simple to understand […]
