![]() ![]() Something that I’ve always wanted to do is now becoming one of those interesting, but non-profitable, ongoing projects. The model shown below has featured in about 3 recent lists of things prospects want to see done – it’s meant to show how a gear running in an oil bath sloshes the oil around. (For anyone familiar with setting up explicit models in Abaqus, when and how the conversion from traditional elements to SPH particles occurs is defined in the element type dialog box in the meshing module of CAE.) Although I guess you should take this sort of thing from somebody who sells the product for a living with a pinch of salt, it was really very simple to get the initial models running obviously the usual caveats about validation and actually getting the answer right still apply. This week I took the plunge and tried a few test problems, largely because I need to be able to show the technology off to Al Dean next week. ![]() But at the time I hadn’t actually run any. And as well as a pedalling what I now think is the mistaken view that Hooke knew about non-linearity, I presented a number of SPH solutions. If you watch my talk from last years Develop3D live event ( ), and yes I know I sound like a frightened used car salesman, I mention that having alternative strategies for solving tricky simulation problems is a useful thing.
