CFD Analysis of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT)

A wind turbine or wind power plant is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind into electric current. The most common topology is the Horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). With the rapid development of the computer technology, the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) technique has become an important tool to study flow field and structural

Application of CFD Analysis in Electronics Cooling

For every Product developer, in order to reduce their development time, reduce risks of failure and unknow a need to ascertain the thermal aspects at the earlier stages in the design process. In earlier days, engineers used to do thermal analysis mainly by thumb ruling and simplified equation based calculations to validate design. With the

How is Hydro-Static Pressure Modelled in Finite Element Analysis (FEA)?

When we are performing an finite element analysis of pressure vessel, storage tanks, agitators etc. we are always looking for ways to apply loads due to internal pressure of liquid stored inside the tank which constantly applies the pressure on the inner side of the shell. Applying Hydro-static pressure is the best and more reliable

What is Fatigue and how it can be simulated in FEA?

Fatigue has been around since we started making things. While we have always understood that every material will have a breaking point when it is overloaded, but engineers in mid-1800s became aware of the failure and coined it fatigue. Jean-Victor Poncelot was the first person to observe and coin the name “fatigue”, he was a

Mechanical 3D Product Animation – Development Process

The advent of motion graphics and high performance computing enabled creation of high quality realistic 2D and 3D Product animations, the latter is visually more appealing due to realistic presentation. In engineering industry mechanical 3D product animations, not only makes the product looks realistic, but shows in-depth details of the process of dismantling and assembly.

Dump-in and Dump-out: Top checks to be done from Analysis results before making a design decision

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a very good tool for providing useful insight into stresses and deformations which in turn the engineer can assess the strength and durability of mechanical components and large structures. These days FEA tools are often integrated into the CAD platform which makes anyone and everyone without a working knowledge in
