Happy Birthday, Hermann Staudinger
Hermann Staudinger developed a macromolecular theory that laid the groundwork for the development of polymer chemistry. Explore his life, discoveries, and legacy here.
How to Import Images and Loft a Solid
Say you want to model an irregular shape, like a human head. How do you set up the geometry? Here, we go over how to do just that by importing images and lofting a solid.
Thermal Analysis of a Czochralski Crystal Growth Furnace
The Czochralski method is the most common approach for the preparation of monocrystalline silicon crystal ingots. Learn the history behind this method and how to model it here.
Modeling a Pencil Beam Scanning Nozzle Used for Proton Therapy
In proton therapy, an energetic beam of protons is used to deliver ionizing radiation to the treatment area. Learn how particle tracing simulation can be used to help advance this treatment.
Happy Birthday, Edward Condon
Edward Condon made many contributions to quantum mechanics, designed the Nimatron, and explored whether UFOs could be of extraterrestrial origins. Learn more about his work here.
Analyzing the “Muscles” of a Robotic Manta Ray
Robotic manta rays allow scientists to gather data for marine biodiversity studies. Find out how simulation can be used to analyze the “muscles” of these soft robots.
Happy Birthday, Mary Anderson
During a snow storm in the early 1900s, Mary Anderson rode in a streetcar and noticed how difficult it was for the trolley driver to see where he was going. This observation led to the invention of the windshield wiper.
