In-house or Outsourced Simulation for Product Development

Staying Competitive with Product Development Is In-house or Outsourcing of Simulation Resources best for your Company? Staying competitive in today’s economy requires a finely tuned product development process, where high quality products can be designed and brought to market in a fast and cost-effective way. To do that organizations face three choices: physical prototyping in-house […]

Part 2: Using CFD to Evaluate Boat Aerodynamics

Where hydrodynamics ruled in the first article, this second article focuses on the key role that aerodynamics plays on boat performance.  Naethan Eagles, Technical Director at TotalSim US, and other contributors discuss how aerodynamics effects everything from stability and safety to reducing wind noise and buffet in the cockpit.  And for those that follow the […]

Part 1: Using CFD to Evaluate Boat Hydrodynamic Performance

TotalSim was approached by Clay Ratcliffe and Scott Porta of Porta Performance to analyze the hydrodynamics of their hull design using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). CFD is used in the marine industry to determine how different types of fluids (air and water) interact with the boat. It can evaluate sink and trim and general seakeeping […]

COVID-19 Cough Model: Is 6 feet a safe social distance?

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a new “normal” for everyday life. Personal hygiene is one of the recommendations we are constantly being reminded of. Six feet is the recommended minimum distance between each person, but is it enough? Utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), we can model the effectiveness of this 6 feet rule. The geometry […]

CFD Simulation allows your design and development to continue, even remotely

Due to current events, COVID-19 has forced millions of Americans to work remotely and avoid the office and other facilities altogether. While many are able to conduct business as usual from home using their laptops, many engineers need the high-performance capabilities of their local networks and desktops. To some extent connecting to the office via […]
