How to analyze a "RepRap" design (static and vibrational)?

Submitted by mikew67 on

Folks,

I'm embarking on a project to build a modified copy of a DIY 3D printer.  See http://reprap.org/wiki/WebHome to get a rough idea.  In my case, I have my own lathe and milling machine, so I can fabricate more substantial components, e.g., by machining aluminum.  I also have larger stepper motors, some 3/8" precision rod and linear bearings that I can use. 

which software for impact/destructive simulation?

Hi,

I am evaluating a couple of software packages for impact and destructive testing simulation.

What are the strength and weakness of the following packages in terms of explicit solver capability for impact/destructive?

NX Nastran non-linear (with explicit solver)

NEi Nastran explicit

ANSYS explicit solver (new in ANSYS 12)

 

Thanks!

anyone using mupad & matlab

Submitted by 雪魄梅魂 on

Hi all!

 
I'm using Matlab and mupad  in my research .I have managed to plot a few curves using mupad, a powerful symbol computation soft. Since it is theory solution, I want to add the experimental curves to compare the goodness.But i don't how to make the two softwares work cooperated. 

Any suggestions will be appreciate.

(Forgive my poor English^_^)

Webinar on AxSTREAM 3.0: Design of Multispool Axial Compressor. From Specification to 3D Blade Design

Submitted by Helen_SoftInWay on

On May 27, 2010, at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. EST SoftInWay will hold free webinar "AxSTREAM 3.0: Design of Multispool Axial Compressor. From Specification to 3D Blade Design".



In the course of the 1-hour online presentation, the SoftInWay team will showcase the new features of AxSTREAM 3.0 for multispool compressors, namely:



1.  Ability to assess multiple criteria to choose the optimal flow path design.

2.  Flow path geometry adjustment according to designer's goals (using manual and S1 adjustment and spline).
