Guest Blog by USYD Rocketry Team: Reaching for the Skies

    Guest Blog by USYD Rocketry Team (URT) who use simulation in their development of high-power sounding rockets to compete in the Australian Universities Rocketry Competition (AURC) and Spaceport America Cup. URT was the first Australian team to compete and took first place in the 10,000 ft COTS category with their Silvereye rocket.

    Improved Fluent user experience & expressions for HVAC applications

      We look at recent improvements in Fluent’s GUI and expressions which help streamline workflows for HVAC applications, such as those involving flow balancing, temperature monitoring and control. We apply this to an example involving two types of air handling unit for cooling a room containing heat-generating equipment.

      How to Improve Pump Efficiency through CFD Simulations

      In order to improve pump efficiency, pump designers require fine-grain insights into complex fluid dynamics within a pump to help them identify areas that can be refined to reduce losses during pump operation. In this example, we look at the workflow to improve an existing pump’s design without requiring the original CAD drawings – instead using scanned data of an existing pump design.

      US Navy chooses Windchill PLM for MBPS Digital Transformation initiative

        The U.S. Navy has selected PTC’s Windchill Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) SaaS platform to form the backbone of their digital transformation initiatives. We review their selection criteria and discuss the key reasons why Windchill was selected as their preferred PLM platform, following an extensive evaluation process.
