My name is Timothy Luke and it looks like I might be the first member from Australia. I work in Defence but looking to move to Munich and who knows maybe join SimScale.
The product looks exciting and I always enjoyed finite element analysis at university. I am also looking to build up my skills in CFD. I am a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) graduate and also like the fact that FEA and CFD are almost like art in the way you can use those tools creatively to analyse a structure or object.
We would be very happy to welcome you in our office in Munich
I am very excited about the projects you are going to investigate with SimScale! Enjoy your stay here and feel free to contact @AnnaFless or me in case you have any problems.
Dear all, i am Busari Ridwan Ayodeji. I am a final year mechanical engineering student from University of Ilorin,Nigeria. I have an intermediate level expertise in 3D modelling using Autodesk Inventor, I love designing models and look forward to building my personal 3D printer someday. I am currently working on building a poratble CNC waterjet cutting machine as my final year project. I am new to simulation and enthusiastic to learn from here especially on my project involving flow of high pressure water and abrasive through a tiny exit . I am happy i found Simscale,i think i am going to need you for a long time. cheers
Feel free to ask anything you want in case you need help. If you think there is something we should add to our platform add a vote in the Vote For Features section.
I would be very happy to help you with your projects in the future.
I am Darren Ingram from Omaha, NE. I obtained my Mechanical Engineer B.S. degree in 2012. I have experience in CFD and FEA alike. I work as a Product Development Engineer for a steel support structure firm. However, I spend some of my free time working on my home engineering projects.
I was brought to SimScale because I was looking for a CFD that could analyze a manifold idea that was floating in my head. I wish to run a few analysis to determine the short comings of my logic, so I can ponder alternatives.
In the past I have worked a lot with steady states. However in the dynamic world, especially in a manifold of either an intake or exhaust. There are pressure waves created by the transient nature of an 2/4 stroke engine which can either harm or benefit you. It would be nice to model this kind of behavior to better learn to how to tune the pressure waves, additionally would like to learn how to restrict an output such that a turbo charger is acting like a restrictor in the flow.
I am liking the software so far, however I am finding it difficult to load in a csv file.
My name is Eric Weber. I live in Omaha, Nebraska. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Minnesota in the United States.
I have been working with SimScale for about a month now and like what I see. I have about 10 years experience using CFD and FEA tools. I currently teach do tech support and training for Solidworks Simulation and Solidworks Flow Simulation. These are nice tools for designers and engineers but don’t have the power that we can get using SimScale.
I am excited to get to know SimScale in a lot more detail so I am able to do some more complex problems than what I can currently do. I think the public projects are a very nice learning tool that we all can have access to for free while we get to know SimScale.
Hi Eric (@eweber) . We are very happy to have such an expert like on board
Feel free to contact me whenever you need help or you want to give some feedback on the platform (or any other reason ;)). Looking forward to see some nice projects of you!
I’m Swapna, Mechanical student, trying to understand the world of fluid simulations.
I have some experience with general simulation flow and would like to understand the black box better to solve real flow problems.
I want to work on the simulation of mist carried by air (I didn’t think this would be difficult) , but when I started on it I was drowned on the topics of multiphase heat, mass & momemtum transfer. I learned that I should take baby steps. So here I’m, starting at basics on a new platform.
Hopefully, with the help of members on this forum, I might get some where with this project. After I get some handle on simscale, I would start a thread on the project I want to complete so badly, please feel to post your ideas and any information you think that might be helpful
I just graduated with my masters in mechanical engineering (thermofluids specialization), and my ultimate goal is to get a job in formula 1 as an aerodynamicist.
My goals with joining the simscale forums are to get tips, advice, and inspiration to help me develop my skills further, and to help others do the same with their goals.
I recently started a project group called “F1 Aero Academy” through which I plan on creating a series of reports on a variety of aerodynamic related topics to help get noticed by future employers. My reports will consist of a theory section to explain the topic/aerodynamic principle in detail and then will be followed by a case study to illustrate the principle, for example how DRS works.

Anyway, I look forward to collaborating with and sharing my ideas and projects with the other simscale members. I am also thankful that such a wonderful resource such as simscale exists
Welcome! We’re very glad to have you in the SimScale community
@skondaveeti - I think you have the right approach; starting with baby step and building up from the basics. Here are some resources that I think will help:
@Vyzer - First of all, congrats in graduating with your Master’s in ME! That’s great that you are working towards a job in F1. We look forward to collaborating and being a part of your F1 Aero Academy project in any way we can.
hi,my name is binod chettri. I completed BE in mechanical engineering in the year 2016 and my fianl year project was on CFD analysis of concentrictype heat exchanger using AL2o3 nanofluid as working fluid. I am working as a junior engineer in u3nepal in R & D department.
My name is Gustavo M. Bolson and I just turned 18! I’ve finished my high school last year at the University of Caxias do Sul, Brazil, and I’m taking an “unfortunate” gap year learning German in Berlin.
I’ve been dreaming of becoming an Aerospace Engineer for as long as I can remember. I love absolutely all aspects of engineering and hope to one day study in the US. My father, an Electrical Engineer, told me about the great challenges I’ll have to overtake in the years to come, considering I’ll have to fight for a scholarship and build my own way from the ground up. But they say you have to do everything you can to achieve your dreams, so that’s what I’m here for!
I hope to learn a lot about all kinds of simulations in a more intuitive and example-rich environment.
Thank you for reading and also to @RealEngineering (hope I have the right tag!) for bringing me here in the first place.
Welcome to SimScale - it’s great that you are going after your dreams Since you’re interested in Aerospace Engineering, you may want to check our Aerospace Workshop that we hosted last year.
I am Sumiran from Mumbai, India. I am a complete novice in Engineering simulations. My main field of expertise is quantum physics. I am on Simscale to (hopefully) do some side projects - especially simulating air flows. It would be great to find some collaborators here to learn from. Cheers!
Hello everybody,
My name is Kim Ravn-Jensen, and I live in Valby, Denmark. I have until now had a rather fruitful career in solids and CFD but am now “between opportunities”. Seeing the existing CAE world as rather stagnant, I have been looking for a way to combine recent advances in open source CAE analysis with my past experience. I wondered how to position myself in today’s environment when I today discovered that SimScale already has. My next step should be to dive into the SimScale world. I might be able to create additional value after some time of studying.
