simulation

Over the last years, UGent-MMS has developed the stand-alone BladeMesher software for generating finite element models of large wind turbine blades. The software reads in the material data and airfoil data of the wind turbine blade, and automatically constructs the geometry and finite element mesh for the blade. In a next step, the nodal and element information of the finite element mesh is written out to an input file for a commercial finite element solver (Abaqus in this case).

If you're interested in how mechanical property predictions can be made of Additive Manufactured microstructures, then I recommend attending this webinar being held in a few weeks.

More information

This upcoming webcast is ideal for anyone working on orthopaedics simulation, particularly in revision surgeries. It should also be a good opportunity to learn about some of the altest image-based methods for working with CT data, for example with the hip.

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing or WAAM techniques are attracting interest from the manufacturing industry because of their potential to produce large metal components with low cost and short production lead time. This process exists alongside other high deposition rate metal AM technologies such as powder and wire based DED. While these use either laser or an electron beam as energy source to melt a metal powder or wire, WAAM technologies melt metal wire using an electric arc.
