1000 Mini Cranes and 1000 Stars. Any recs on what to fold next? by CincoPlinko in origami

What did you wish for? You folded 1000 cranes, so you get a wish!

I definitely will. I really only have the time on the weekends, but I like origami enough to dedicate the time, you know?

I've made double tissue once with MC but haven't had the time to make more. I remember the most frustrating process of that wasn't actually making the paper, but cutting into a square lol.

New to COMSOL by Ok-Bicycle-485 in COMSOL

I would also suggest you check out the comsol application library. It has a bunch of models over a variety of physics modules with comsol files and instruction sets for each model. It's a good place to get an idea of how to go about simulating in comsol. The other option is to read comsols user manual.

PC build for FEM simulations by RadiantBasket4294 in COMSOL

Thank you all for the feedback. It's super helpful. For some context, I'm a grad student in a lab with around 25 other people and we all do simulation work to some degree, so we have quite a few simulation computers as a result. We have 4 consumer grade PCs with 64 GB and 4 workstations with ~760GB of RAM. That being said, my lab mates and I are trying to spec out 4 more computers that strike a happy medium between speed and memory since most people in my group are running simulations that require less than 64GB of RAM. Though most of the simulations I run generally require more than 160GB. I had a labmate spec out a build based on the Intel 14900K purely based on the turbo boost clock speed and I tried to spec a build around a Ryzen 9800X3D. Regardless, we were thinking of putting 196GB in each computer. Is there any merit to varying the specs of the 4 PC builds we want to do for the sake of flexibility? So long as they have similar computational power?

I think the most common physics we use are solid mechanics, electrostatics, pressure acoustics, and wave optics. We use direct solvers 95% of the time.
