This article is for beginners and non-engineers who want to understand what Computer Simulation is and what engineers do all day ;-) It’s been many years since that first spark to become an engineer came to me I still remember that I didn’t know at all what engineers where doing I just knew that I […]
Why you should learn to use rare CAE software now
Today, I am writing a very short piece of advice, but a very important one especially for young engineers. …And that’s also something that no one will ever tell you! Read my advice and you’ll see… If you are a young engineer just starting your career as a mechanical engineer, you may be thinking: “I […]
How to recognize a beginner in FEA?
Do you know what is the best way to recognize someone without any experience in FEA? Just ask him this question…
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 […]
What is linear static analysis in FEA simulation?
If you are a beginner in FE (Finite Element) Analysis, this post should put some light on some of the most essential aspects to understand about “linear static analysis” First of all a little of background about Finite Element Analysis for those who really start out… Finite Element analysis is a method that helps […]
The difference between CAD and CAE
This is a very basic subject that I would like to talk about, but it is fundamental to understand well that there is a world between this two words. I can always remember that when I had my first Computer Assisted Design (CAD) course in my engineering college in France (the Ecole Centrale of Lille), […]
