Hi SimScalers,
my name is Johannes and I’m working in the CFD team at SimScale. At SimScale I’m fully dedicated to make the CFD workflow on SimScale as easy and smooth as possible.
A while back I studied mechanical engineering at TU München with focus on renewable energies. Since wind and water power all have to do with fluid flow, I have gotten more and more involved with fluid mechanics and CFD. My main areas of research during that time were turbulence modeling, adaptive mesh refinement and combustion.
I like cooking, listening to music and during summer I often take my motorbike for a spin in the beautiful landscape around Munich. I call it “experimental aerodynamics” 
See you around in the CFD corner,
Hannes

Hi fellow simulators!
I’m Saumitra, and I’m an intern in CFD team at SimScale. I’m halfway through my master’s degree in Computational Science at the TU Munich, where I’m trying to get comfortable with the intersection of the worlds of computer science and fluid mechanics.
I enjoy food, books and weekly hikes in the beautiful Bavarian countryside.
I look forward to some rewarding conversations here!

Hello Everyone,
I am Christopher Quijano and I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Idaho. I currently work for HP as my day job and in the evening I consult helping out small companies with design work or setting up engineering processes. I acquired most of my simulation experience working for Boeing on the static and rotating components of jet engines. I love the value of simulation and enjoy introducing it to small and startup companies. The web cased capability is just incredible.
Outside of the engineering world I love to run, hike, and spend time with my children.

Welcome @sjoshi and @cjquijano ! It’s great to have you here.
@cjquijano I’m happy to have a person to share my views on how big of a value simulation can bring to startup companies 
Hello,
my name is John Stockton - I am an engineer with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering in Heat Transfer and 25 years of engineering work experience - mostly in Manufacturing of appliances and electrical heating elements - I am currently working doing application engineering for a thick film heating element company as well as independent contracting of R&D Engineering to various manufacturing companies. I am still a relative “newby” when it comes to Simulation but am looking forward to doing some proactive testing of my designs.
I’m looking forward to some great conversations on the forum.

Hi @johnstockton ! Then in you are in the right place. With your engineering background and interest in simulation I think you can quickly go from a Newbie to an Expert Hope you will find the forum helpful in getting some additional know-how about simulation.
Hello,
My name is Niels Erikstrup. I have a M.Sc.Mech.Eng. and a very very distant past in CFD work, as I used StarCD in 1996-1999. In those days we could only dream of one day to have an automatic mesh generator at hand and one day to surpass 100K cell models. We did however gain many insights and improved a bunch of products, mainly for cement and power plants.
Since then I have not personally used CFD, so the knowledge gained in the last millenium has mainly alloved me to include CFD & multiphysics specialists in many subsequent product developments projects.
Two years ago I started my own company, Fionia AG, now located in Luzern, Switzerland. I draw a lot in Autodesk Inventor 3D and do rapid prototyping galore. From time to time I have some CFD, heat transfer and FEA issues, so hopefully Simscale is the answer. I’m the company’s only engineer so far, so it is relevant to regain a hands-on CFD simulation expertise. The software is sooo much more user friendly nowadays, so it all seems quite straight forward - at least based on the first afternoon and the first Simscale tutorials. Looking forward to more!

Hi everyone!
My name is Jakub. I’m PhD student at University of Wroclaw. My field of interest is CFD simulations using FVM method and application of GPGPU technology to FVM algorithms.
At the beginning I would like to thank you SimScale’s team for creating such a fancy tool. I’m pretty sure that it will help me a lot with designs of my simulations.
To keep work-life balance I love to race enduro / downhill bike.

Hello @Erikstrup , @AnnaFless and @jakubpola ! happy to see the forum growing.
Special welcome to @AnnaFless who will be our Community/Forum Manager! Anna will be the link between the forum members and the SimScale product team and will make sure that this forum can become a strong and global community of engineering enthusiasts
Hi
My name is Imran Saleem. I want to explore Simscale for CFD analysis for Gas Turbines.
Thanks
Hi there
My name is Imran Saleem and i am a graduate student of Computational Sciences and Engineering with the emphasis on Applied Mechanics. Currently, i am doing a thesis on CFD on low pressure turbine blades of Aero Engines.My field of interest is Gas Turbines flow analysis. In addition, i have also started a course work in Structures, which include Advanced Mechanics of Materials and FEM. Later on, i have a plan to masters also in Structures related to the material properties and analysis of Gas Turbine engines. I have also worked in the Aerospace Gas Turbines industry in US, in the past. If you feel anything more from my side, please feel free to email me.
Thanks
Have a Nice Day.

Sure. First, i have to get use to Simscale environment. For that, if i can download the environment and then use to its interface. Nowadays, i am using Ansys icem cfd for meshing.
Hi everyone,
it’s time to finally introduce myself to the forum.
I am Richard Szöke-Schuller and part of the solid mechanics team at SimScale. I graduated in Applied Mathematics form the TU München some time ago and now focussing on bringing new solid mechanics functionality to the platform and improving the user experience wherever it’s possible!
Apart from engineering I am interested in mathematical optimization, like biking and love spending all my free time with my little family.
I hope that I can contribute to some fruitful discussions and get feedback on possible improvements of our platform.
Don’t be shy of asking questions!

Hi guys,
my name is Jousef Murad and I am NOT YET part of the team at SimScale 
I am studying mechanical engineering in my bachelors @KIT at Karlsruhe in germany.
Concerning the Finite Element Method I already used software like ANSYS and ABAQUS and at the moment im teaching myself MidasNFX. I know SimScale for half a year now and decided to do more in this field especially to improve my overall skills in CFD, FEM etc.
I wish that I can learn a lot from discussions here and also participate in order to help others.
Have a nice day!

Hello friends ! Thank you for the invitation to the forum. I am from Ukraine, Kiev.I do business. I am fond of Engineering. My ideas: 1) Charge the storm clouds from the ionosphere; 2) the diameter of the universe 2 * 10 ^ 28 light years; 3) Gravitation - jet thrust of electromagnetic waves … I love music and design.

Hello,
My name is Shajia Ali, I am from Berlin (Germany) and I am currently doing my Masters in Mechanical Engineering at Berlin Institute of Technology. My interest in CFD grew while I was working on my bachelor thesis. I did some numerical simulations to examine a new concept of a heart pump. Despite doing a lot in that examination, I still consider myself as a beginner. I just started having CFD lessons at Uni and I hope to expand my knowledge in here. Your concept sounds pretty much exciting!
I am looking forward to exchange my knowledge with Yours!
Greetings
Shajia

Hey guys,
I am Uzair Mahmood from Islamabad [Pakistan],doing my bachelors in mechanical engineering from Uet(Taxila). While studying FEM in my final year i came across the basics of Abaqus and Ansys.
But i found them more detailed and vast in performing simulation on my fyp model(ornithopter),whereas simscale looks easy to grasp,getting access to workshops,resources and most importantly the staff.
Best regards,
Uzair
