Electronic components are complex in design, with many small parts, made out of many different materials. This complex design contributes to how the component performs thermally. For this reason, it can be difficult to predict the junction temperature in order to ensure the component does not overheat or fail. Computational…

Here at SimScale, we have a plethora of resources and simulation projects to help engineers and architects alike design buildings that generate minimum undesirable wind effects. This, in turn, works to ensure a safe environment as well as aids pedestrian comfort at a passerby or ground level. This article illustrates…

From Formula 1 to NASA or civil engineering projects to wind turbine design, wind tunnel experiments are a key method of design evaluation in many industries. Using a purpose-built tunnel for wind provides a controlled environment in which engineers can test how airflow, lift, drag, and other forces affect a…

As the age-old saying goes, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. However, here at SimScale, our engineers think a little differently. Our office kitchen is fully equipped with stovetops, an oven, and appliances galore for employees to use at their convenience and freely cook their…

EN 16789–1 is the 2019 update of the BS EN 15251:2007 standard, covering indoor environmental criteria for the design of buildings, room conditioning systems, and lighting systems alike. It is a European standard covering both residential and non-residential structures. …

When dealing with turbomachinery, for instance compressors, propellers, or pumps such as a centrifugal pump, the slightest design change can have a huge impact. …

For this student success story, SimScale interviewed Sujay Bhaumik who is an aerodynamicist in the Formula Student team “ Formula Manipal “. Sujay is currently pursuing a B. Tech degree in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering from Manipal Academy of Higher Education. …

SimScale has released a new feature dedicated to pedestrian wind comfort calculations, ideal for wind engineers, urban planners, or designers involved with any facet of architectural building design. …

In the 7 years since SimScale was founded, our software engineers have worked on a wide array of projects typical to web applications: basics like authentication or payment services, services for loading and storing different kinds of data into different storage services depending on size, cache-ability, integrations with other APIs…
