6 ways Onshape helps you dump your Laptop!
Phil Foley, guest blogger 1. You no longer have to travel with a laptop Engineers, designers and other users of Solidworks, Inventor, Creo and Rhino, it’s time to dump your laptops. Onshape is the first web-based 3D Computer-aided-design package. Can a web-based package handle or even compete with your custom built, rock solid Workstation? Yes. […]
Is SolidWorks CAM Better Than an Integrated System?
When the engineering software vendor announced it was moving from integrated CAM to a total CAD/CAM solution industry watchers took note. Jean Thilmany, Contributing Editor For engineers and design companies, it’s not difficult to find integrated computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing technologies. Yet, the announcement of SolidWorks CAM, released in October as a SolidWorks 2018 […]
Do designers need to get physical?
As powerful and feature-rich as CAD programs have become, you can argue that there’s a missing element to the design experience. Even augmented reality does not deliver the needed experience, yet. The experience is actually touching a physical, three-dimensional model of the designed object. The digital world is working hard to replicate such an experience […]
Water pump design: Geometry optimization for a shrouded impeller
Bruce Jenkins, Ora Research For CFD-driven shape optimization of water pumps with shrouded impellers, it’s essential to have an efficient variable-geometry model defined by a set of relevant parameters (design variables). This case-study example focuses on geometry modeling of a typical water pump, with the goal of attaining maximum flexibility in shape variation and fine-tuning. […]
Democratizing thermal modeling with a cloud-based simulation app
Bruce Jenkins, Ora Research This test project for high-performance computing (HPC) in the cloud was designed to explore how cloud HPC resources can help to speed up and enable high-performance finite element simulations carried out with COMSOL Multiphysics and COMSOL Server. The objective was to find out how HPC cloud providers can augment engineering organizations’ […]
SmartUQ: Uncertainty Quantification for more realistic engineering and systems analysis
Bruce Jenkins, Ora Research SmartUQ is a software tool for uncertainty quantification (UQ) and engineering analytics that heightens fidelity of engineering and systems analysis by taking account of real-world variability and probabilistic behavior. UQ is the science of quantifying, characterizing, tracing and managing uncertainty in both computational and real-world systems. UQ seeks to address the […]
Tips on working with 3D printing and additive manufacturing for CAD designers
While 3D printing and additive manufacturing are increasingly being used in many industries, its use by CAD designers is not as common. Part of the issue is the additive systems themselves–there are features and capabilities that need improvement before they are seriously useful to the CAD designer. Improvements are coming, so very soon, it will […]
Seamplex readies CAEplex: Web front end for open-source engineering modeling codes on the cloud
By Bruce Jenkins, Ora Research Seamplex, the latest entrant in the burgeoning market for cloud-based engineering modeling Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), is readying for release next month an offering it brands as CAEplex, a web front end for open-source engineering computational codes running on the cloud. The company describes its product as “the first platform designed from […]
