Blender - powerful open source software for modelling, rendering and animation

on

Blender is a powerful open source tool for modeling, animating and simulating 3d objects.It is open source code, therefore it is constantly modified and improved. New plugins and add-ons appear very often.

free software for graphics
Free powerful software for modelling, rendering and animation 

Blender a tool that should not be ignored.

The program has countless possibilities and functions. One of them and extremely useful is sculpting. This method is based on nonlinear manipulation of solid models with brushes, thanks to which it is an extremely precise method and gives unlimited possibilities. The only limitation is  human imagination.
I created the above drawing in just 5 minutes due to the fact that the menu of this software is extremely friendly and clear. There are countless video tutorials for the various functions of the program on the web.
By making the model with the usual CAD methods or by carving, you can apply any texture made by yourself or downloaded from an extensive library on the web. Then you can simulate many physical phenomena for this object related to fluid mechanics, strictly structural mechanics, dynamics, destructive methods, etc. The final stage will be the animation of the entire system, for example using motion tracking and many others available in Blender.
The entire user interface can be customized to your personal preferences due to the flexibility of scripting.An important element of the blender is simulating phenomena using plugs such as Bullet or Manta FLOW.
You can find a description of all the software's capabilities on the developers' website. Link below:
blender.org - Home of the Blender project - Free and Open 3D Creation Software

In the near future I will want to create some tutorials related to this software on this blog. After the first contact, I am delighted with the possibilities of this tool. It would be worth trying to use Blender in many fields of engineering such as CAD, CAE or CFD.
Marketing departments of smaller companies should use this type of software for two reasons - because it is OPEN SOURCE and for the undeniable reason which are the capabilities of Blender

Quick Tip: How to fix Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR in Ansys (Fluent)

 The error message Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR: invalid argument [1]: improper list means that there is a problem with the scheme code or the UDF (user-defined function) in your case or data file . Some possible solutions are: Save the case and data file and try to reopen it. Reset the Fluent Setup tab and try opening the mesh. Remesh the geometry and reopen in Fluent. Change the material definition from “Solid” to “Fluid” in Design Modeler. Change the transient to steady if you are using evaporation-condensation as the phase interaction mechanism. Check the syntax of your UDF and make sure it follows the new rules in Fluent 6.2.16 or later. I hope this helps you resolve the error. If you need more assistance, please visit the Ansys Learning Forum or contact Ansys Support . Have a nice day! 😊 Sources: 1. smartadm.ru 2. cfd-online.com 3. forum.ansys.com 4. forum.ansys.com In Polish  BÅ‚Ä…d: GENERAL-CAR-CDR oznacza, że wystÄ…piÅ‚ problem z kodem Scheme w programie Ansys Fluent.

Types of supports and examples - Ansys Static Structural

Supports are used to represent parts that are not present in the model but are interacting with it. Supports help truncate the domain, which helps in efficiently obtaining numerically accurate results without modeling parts of the geometry that are not of primary interest. There are different types of support available, among which you need to choose the appropriate one for your analysis. Here are some of the common types of supports and their explanations: - **Fixed Support**: This type of support constrains all the degrees of freedom of the selected entity (body, face, or edge). It means that the entity cannot move or rotate in any direction. Fixed support is equivalent to applying zero displacement to all directions. Fixed support is useful for modeling rigid connections or supports that do not allow any movement. For example, you can use fixed support to model a bolted joint or a clamped beam. - **Displacement Support**: This type of support specifies a zero or non-zero displacemen

How to define porosity (porous medium) in Ansys CFD (Fluent, CFX)

 To model porosity in ANSYS Fluent , you need to define the porous zone and the porous media properties in the setup. You can follow these steps: In the Fluent interface, go to the Cell Zone Conditions panel and select the zone that you want to make porous. Check the Porous Zone option and click Edit. In the Porous Zone panel, you can choose between two methods to specify the porous media resistance: the Superficial Velocity method or the Physical Velocity method. The Superficial Velocity method uses the superficial velocity (the velocity of the fluid if there were no porosity) to calculate the pressure drop across the porous zone. The Physical Velocity method uses the physical velocity (the velocity of the fluid inside the pores) to calculate the pressure drop across the porous zone. You can also choose between isotropic or anisotropic porosity, depending on whether the porosity is uniform or varies in different directions. Depending on the method and the type of porosity you choose,

How to... fix "gui-domain-label: no domain selected" in Ansys Fluent and MEMERR in CFX

In today's post, we will deal with another error that may occur during the analysis. The error that is described below concerns Fluent and the wrong definition of user monitors that are displayed during simulation. These can be monitors concerning the average velocity in the domain volume, the values of the maximum temperatures of the solid domains, the average values of the heat transfer coefficient from the defined planes of the model, etc. Generally speaking, today's entry is about how to correctly define monitors and how to transfer them between subsequent analyzes. Example of "gui-domain-label" error in Fluent
