An interesting article titled A novel formulation for the study of the ascending aortic fluid dynamics with in vivo data has been published on Medical Engineering & Physics Volume 91, May 2021. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2020.09.005 Abstract Numerical simulations to evaluate thoracic aortic hemodynamics include a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) approach or fluid-structure interaction (FSI) approach. While CFD […]

An interesting article titled A natural remedy for hot-spot stresses has been published on EnginSoft Newsletter. This paper demonstrates how the biological growth method, studied by Mattheck in the 1990s, can be easily implemented for structural shape optimization finite element method (FEM) analyses using advanced radial basis functions (RBF) mesh morphing. We use the same mechanism observed in […]

The Biological Growth Method (BGM) is an efficient optimization approach suitable for the surface stress reduction in a specific mechanical component and allows us to obtain a more homogeneous stress distribution. This method mimics the way in which biological structures, such as tree trunks, bones and horns, evolve during their growth. The effectiveness of the […]

CAD model update on as-built geometries with morphing technique: ITER winding pack Abstract: CAD and CAE model update on manufactured shapes is a key process in the industry 4.0, where design, manufacturing and maintenance are integrated elements. Digital Twin models, together with Reverse Engineering (RE) techniques, allow tracking components performances during production and verifying the […]

Modeling flexible/curved PCBs using RBF mesh morphing Abstract: In the recent past, flexible printed circuit board (PCB) electronics have seen a significant surge in many electronics products ranging from smartphone/watches that wrap around our wrists, displays that fold out as large television sets, reconfigurable electronics that conform to the roofs/trunks of cars or as flexible […]

An interesting article titled High fidelity fluid-structure interaction by radial basis functions mesh adaption of moving walls: a workflow applied to an aortic valve has been published on the Journal of Computational Science, available online February 2021, doi: 10.1016/j.jocs.2021.101327. Abstract Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) can be investigated by means of non-linear Finite Element Models (FEM), suitable to […]

Today the need for developing multi-physics approaches in order to address modern and complex design challenges is rising. A typical multi-physics phenomenon is the interaction between a fluid and a structure, that occurs according to the following options: it can be the working principle of the considered component, it can be due to the lightweight […]
