If you are familiar with OnScale, one of the things that you may be interested in learning is how to calculate natural frequencies of your model.

Sensors are all around us. There are a dozen or so in your smartphone, and dozens more in your laptop, tablet, TV remote control and drone. There are perhaps hundreds in your car, thousands on commercial aircraft and reusable rockets, that will one day take us to the moon, mars, and beyond...

OnScale is happy to announce a newly released Electromagnetic (EM) solver capability, now available on the OnScale Cloud platform. In this blog post we describe the new Electromagnetic (EM) solver in OnScale, designed specifically for next generation antenna array optimization, photonic waveguides, radar for ADAS systems, and many other use cases.

The integration of OnScale within BeamTool 9 gives users the capability to quickly and easily simulate their inspection set up and visualize the complete inspection performance. The plug in capabilities include full FEA solvers, mode conversion, defect scattering and the ability to run 1,000s of parallel simulations. As well as enabling improved inspection designs, the use of simulation in the Non Destructive Testing (NDT) process allows BeamTool users to save time and money. New exotic materials and complex components require advancements in NDT, thus simulation is key to design, evaluate and optimize new inspection setups quickly. What is BeamTool?

In this blog post we will describe how to batch process FEA simulation data automatically using a review script in OnScale.

1. On-Demand Scalable licensing is the future and we’ve made it happen

Last week I graduated from the University of Strathclyde with an Engineering Doctorate (EngD), which is basically an industrial focused PhD. I owe a great deal of thanks to OnScale for providing this opportunity as my project industrial sponsor. In addition to their support, access to OnScale’s cloud simulation platform enabled me to quickly complete the many simulations required for my thesis corrections.

Technology is both becoming more interactive and connected, from Alexa to digital factories of the future. Sensors are the gateway to transforming the physical to the digital realm, yet they are often the limiting factor in the overall performance of the system. Sensor technology has exploded recently due to the advances in MEMS and semiconductor processes. These advances are helping to serve market demand at a very low cost. Ultrasonic fingerprint sensors are highly sophisticated and compact ultrasonic phased arrays, that have been adapted for manufacturer and semiconductor processes and compressed into a footprint that is small enough to fit into one cell phone. The most profound example of the explosion in sensor technology is the Internet of Things (IoT) movement. This is also known as “the trillion sensors initiative”. The movement predicts an ever-increasing amount of connected sensors in our environment. All this translates into a huge global market for sensors that is growing at a healthy rate year over year. In this post we’re going to explore how simulation can accelerate IoT innovation and reduce design cycles by describing several real-world examples, which we ran in OnScale.

In the near future, reusable rockets will ferry us to space and back, and you’ll be able to honeymoon on the actual moon. To realize that dream, rocket scientists will rely on Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) of carbon fiber, steel, and aluminum components on reusable rockets.
