Systems thinking in Design and Simulation What if the biggest obstacle to better products isn’t the technology—but the way we think about using it? Over the past few decades, we’ve replaced pencils with pixels, and physical prototypes with virtual models. On paper, it looks like we’ve evolved. But in practice, many teams are still following […]

In the world of professional and Olympic cycling, fractions of a second can be the difference between gold, silver, bronze or not placing at all. Over the last decade plus, the sport has seen an increased focus on applying technology and engineers to reduce drag and rolling resistance. This means less energy is required from

No one has to design in the dark these days. Every industry that employs design engineers, now has vast technological tools at their disposal to aid in the design and development process. Whether it’s CAD and 3D printing or VR, AI, 3D scanning and simulation software like FEA and CFD – the tools are plentiful.

With deep roots in the world of racing and motorsports, TotalSim has enthusiastically supported collegiate Formula SAE (FSAE) racing teams for many years. Formula SAE is a collegiate student competition hosted by SAE International (Society of Automotive Engineers) in which student teams design, build and test formula-style race cars. Through a partnership with AweSIM, the

The importance of proper airflow and ventilation was certainly brought to the world’s attention during the height of the pandemic, but its significance shouldn’t be dismissed now that the worst appears to be behind us. Back in 2021, when most of our team was still working from home, we decided to investigate the airflow within
