I have been working in this field for over 30 years. Numerical simulations are one of my core competences.
- The physical modelling is the crucial step, not the handling of the software!
- As fast as possible, as much physics as necessary!
ANSYS:
- FEM – Structural mechanics
- CFD – Fluid Dynamic
- Maxwell – electromagnetic fields
- AQUA – offshore installation
- Tribo-X – hydrodynamic bearings
other:
- DesignLive – Fatigue calculation
- Bladed – Wind power
- ProCast – Casting simulation
- OpenFoam – fluid dynamics
- OpenModelica – System behaviour
- Vibration measurements: Modal analysis, operating vibrations, waterfall diagram, animations, statistics
Programming: Matlab, GNU Octave, VB.net, Fortran, Arduino
