CAE Simulation for Beginners

Learning CAE isn't easy when you come from a CAD Design background, because it involves a very different engineering mindset!

The articles in this category will help you to understand the main concepts.

CAD formats: Which one is the best for CAE?

I love to answer questions from the readers of my blog… especially when they are good. This one is about CAD formats, let’s tackle it ;-) This question here from Mrinal is a question that I asked myself a lot too… So… Why not writing an article to explain the whole stuff to CAE beginers? […]

FEA Automation: Is it always good to automate?

It’s been some time I am talking about what I think of automation and “push-a-button” solutions to my newsletter subscribers. I know that this is a potentially “sensitive” topic for some people in the FEA field…and many people working in the FEA software industry would prefer you not to know about what I am about […]

Why is there different types of fea analysis?

  Today, I decided to make a video to talk about a topic for which I received a lot of questions: Why is there so many fea analysis types? Why is there linear static? nonlinear analysis? dynamic analysis? It is something very confusing for beginners in FEA analysis. It was the same for me when […]

3 simple steps to get a nice valve stem brick mesh

A lot of designers have been using tetra element meshing kind of “by default”… When you see and hear everyone around you telling that automatic tetra meshing is the most convenient and easy way to get your model meshed, it’s tempting to just do that. But in fact, automatic tetra meshing has always been kind […]
