Hello, my name is Attila. I am a CFD Engineer since 2009, graduated as Aerospace Engineer and later I made a Postgrad degree at the Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics. I spent 4 years at EXA Corp doing acoustics simulations with Lattice-Boltzmann codes. Currently I am running my own CFD consulting company in Munich, Germany.
Hi Attila (@afelfoldi) and welcome to SimScale! 
We are happy to have such an experienced new SimScaler with you on board! Looking forward to interesting discussions as well as amazing projects from you! 
Enjoy your stay here and all the best for your business!

A warm hello from Singapore to all the members 
I just completed my Masters degree in Computation and Modelling from National University of Singapore. I am a CAE fanatic and am eager to learn the capabilities of SimScale. I have a diverse range of experience across R&D, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Additive Manufacturing, Lean & Supply Chain Management. Formula 1, Air Crash investigations, Cricket, football are few things that I keenly follow . I am just happy with the warmth from the SimScale forum members during my initial conversations earlier.
Cheers

Hi All
My name is Michael Im an aero engineer in Australia who is currently working on some light aircraft design projects. Im particularly interested in FEA and CFD applications to aircraft design. I have had previous experience doing stress analysis and design using catia and nastran. So far im finding Simscale and onshape much more user friendly!!!. keen to meet anyone else who is interested or working on aircraft projects too
Cheers
Michael

Hello SimScalers,
I’m ( 30yo ) Eduard from The Netherlands.
Hobby inventor. kind of…
What brought me to Simscale? Well I allways wanted to play witf tis kind of software.
And now I have some projects to try the software on.
Problem is, i can not get the software to do what I want it to do.
Are ther people here from The Netherlands who can give me a hand.
Love to get to know some people and the software.
Greetings,
Eduard van Velde.
Hey Eduard (@evan_velde)!

Hi there,
My name is MJ. I’m an ex-CFD Engineer just here to geek out. I worked for at a well-known road car brand for a year using PowerFlow to model wind-noise and at an F1 team for a good few years before moving to China to become an entrepreneur. I have a lot of experience in CFD CAD, meshing, solvers and postprocessing tools and automating these processes. Really, I’m just here to keep working on one of my passions alive - CFD!
Happy to chat about stuff
Cheers,
MJ

Hi! My name is Felix and I’m a recently graduated MSc in Engineering physics and electrical engineering from Luleå University of Technology, Sweden.
During my last years at university, I found out that I really enjoyed fluid mechanics/dynamics, but I am unfortunately not currently employed to do all the cool CFD stuff that I love.
In order to remember everything I learned about CFD, I’ve decided to do a bunch of projects on my free time, hoping to one day get back to the field that I want to be in. SimScale looks excellent for my purposes! See you all in the forum!

Hi everyone, my name is Ethresia!
It took me 8 years to get my BEng Mechanical degree but I eventually graduated in 2015. Now, I am an au-pair doing little house projects and I intend (in the next year or two) to start my own kindergarten in sunny South Africa. Making money is not important to me - making a difference is!
My husband just got an Antminer and the noise is driving me up the walls so I am designing and then plan on building a silencer box for it. While studying I used Solidworks, but it’s super expensive, so not really an option for my “non-commercial” project. Luckily I found Onshape and Simscale which made it possible for me to model my project before I build it.
I was so surprised when I got a phone call from you the day I created my, wait for it, FREE account. The world is a better place because of companies like you who make a difference in peoples lives without expecting to make money off of them. Thank you for being great.
I salute you guys at Simscale!
Keep up the good work

Hi MJ,
welcome abroad! It was good to read about how passionate you are about CFD.
Are you interested in helping me with my project?
The case is, the original file was .obj which I converted to .stl. When I meshed, I got the strange gaps and surfaces at the trailing edge. Any idea how it could be solved?
Thank you, and enjoy your stay!

Hi Janos,
No worries, nice project, I just checked your mesh. I have plenty of suggestions that will help you achieve a cleaner mesh and results. I’ll add a comment to your project so as not to clutter up this topic on the forum
Thanks,
MJ

Hi.
Funny, after like being a year in here, I just saw this now. Hehe.
I’m Dhaval Shukla.
I was always on the lookout for a simulation software that can help me with the design projects that I would likely undertake. I had the requirement for them to be free and needed vast resources to learn them. SimScale brought me here for that opportunity and is helping me since. I originally attended a course run by @AnnaFless on drone aerodynamics on Udemy. I thought it best to hang around here, I never knew I’d meet more engineers like me.
I’m currently working on a project of constructing a Windmill Pumping which uses multi pump rotation and needs to rotate freely with respect to its axis. It is a bit of a work and I know that in future I will need the help of a simulation software to decide the characteristics of air on the wind blades and the dynamic behavior of the structure. I am on the verge of starting the construction and have to be constantly updated with the engineering knowledge so that my mechanism works better.
I would like to learn the most specific of all the details there is to be shared on the forum. I’ve recently discovered this forum so I’m gonna have a wide look at the posts and ideas or topics people share, who knows someone might have any inspiration for me. If you see me fit maybe I’ll send you my CV.
It is good to be here guys, thanks for providing a free cloud based simulation on our browser for free!

Hi @Dhaval and a belated warm welcome from SimScale
The project you are working on sounds like an interesting application the SimScale staff can help you with. Have you already uploaded your CAD file? If so please make sure to post a detailed description of your problem in the Project Support category.
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback and hopefully we will see some nice contributions from you in the near future!
Cheers and happy Simscaling!
