SpaceClaim is legendary for its ability to automatically make unwanted rounds disappear so you can create better FEA & CFD meshes. These videos demonstrate 3 techniques for dealing with the tougher rounds requiring a bit more attention.
My friends at CFdesign sent me a preview copy of their latest release, 2010. My first thought was, “Wow, the teenager has grown up.” There are too many cool new features and improvements for me to do this release justice. So, I decided to focus on just the new workflow in this video review.
The coolest explanation of lost wax investment casting I’ve ever seen. The engineering talk starts at about 2:02 and includes some shots of our technology partner, Rhino3D.
While traditional CAD is focused on reducing costs, it rarely plays a significant role in the sales (revenue) trenches. 3D Direct Modeling, however, is a perfect fit.
Jim Brown writes an excellent (and accurate) article about SpaceClaim’s intent to shake up the industry in order to help customers find more profit. Also, a timely new “dots presentation” about disruptive technologies. Hmm…
Wicked cool video showing Windows 7 multitouch in action on a beta version of SpaceClaim 2009. Astounding.
A cool video from my new favorite Aussie demonstrating his voice control hack for SpaceClaim.
Here’s a cool, quick video illustrating how corporate inertia stifles innovation. I see this a lot when presenting the previously unknown category of 3D Direct Modeling software tools.
I interview Dr. Peter Collins, CEO of Dezineforce, in this 35 minute podcast. Dezineforce helps CAE users to optimize DOE iterations and access powerful, remote compute clusters.
Industry expert, Kenneth Wong, reviews SpaceClaim 2009 in under 6 minutes.
In my quest for sounder, deeper, more refreshing sleep, I went 30 days without caffeine. Pretty damn impressive for me, but unsuccessful.
In the final installment of this series, I walk through the rise of Direct Modeling in the late 2000s. Companies who thought they already had an efficient CAE process are finding a fresh way to turn that same crank 10x faster!
A discussion with my friend, John Randazzo, about the current state of independent engineering contract work. This is a great time for displaced workers to strike out on their own. Many companies lacking the manpower to get the job done are turning to short contract engagements to keep business rolling.
In part II of this series, I look at the rise of upfront CAE and easier-to-use CAD in the 90s.
I intend to start showing more video on this blog. Need to brush up on my understanding and skill in this area, though. So, here’s a little test using Camtasia and Youtube. If any of you have tips for recording or deploying videos of Engineering apps with decent quality, please share in the comment section.
A look at best practices for dealing with CAD geometry in CAE in the archaic 1990s era. Part 1 of a 3 part series.
I stumbled upon a cool video from “Adam the CAD Junkie” on the tasty combination of Rhino and SpaceClaim. I don’t know much about the Industrial Design side of the house, but Adam clearly does. I do know this is the most entertaining design video I’ve ever seen on Youtube.
A quick, handy guide to my 30+ articles on the best ways to roll out upfront CFD & FEA tools early in the design process with generalist Engineers.
A great, high-level, video explanation of Direct Modeling and SpaceClaim from my buddy, Kevin LeBlanc.
The story of my stupidest moment ends with a concluding “moral of this story” that I hope you to don’t find too dopey. I actually believe it.
