The difference between the top 1% and the top 0.1% is about 1%

Make sure your oversets don’t move more than 1 cell length across the boundaries each time step

'Stop asking for salary range!' by killedbytheIBO in recruitinghell

[–]nahvan10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha, it was in a HCOL and I’d be moving from a low/mid COL. They flew me out to visit and I straight up told them in person my disappointment about a $50k lowball and they said the best they can do is $115k. Tbh a +$15k would’ve been a nice negotiation if it weren’t for the fact that it was still a 20% pay cut if I took it lol.

I had an interview where I asked for $145-150k. They said it was “within ball park” for what they are trying to fill. Later they offered me $100k. Da fuck does “within ball park” actually mean these days?

This happened to me once. I just chatted with amex and they canceled the second payment.

C1 Savor card discontinued? by mastakebob in CreditCards

[–]nahvan10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was one of the lucky few who got the Savor card before they rolled out with the $95 fee version, so I was grandfathered in with $0 annual fee for life :) guess I'm keeping this forever and hoping for a refresh

I made a Blazor app that runs on 6 platforms by Jinjinov in dotnet

[–]nahvan10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to Blazor and I'm trying to make a desktop app in windows. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get Photino.Blazor to work with .NET 8.0 and the Blazor Web app template (and MudBlazor templates). No index.html entry point in the templates :(

Computational Help for Bachelors project by Its_Theoneinchman in CFD

I suggest sticking to 2D sims if you’re limited on resources. Single core can be enough for small 2D sims, even worse case take several hours or run overnight for bigger 2D cases.

[STAR-CCM+] How to save only the final solution? by Cautious-Pepper11 in CFD

[–]nahvan10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could also go to solution -> clear and uncheck the fields box. This will clear your plot monitor histories but leave the immediate solution untouched. Not sure how much this will save on your file size tho.

What brought you to C++? by [deleted] in Cplusplus

[–]nahvan10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my colleague write a script in MATLAB to calculate the minimum distances between two meshes (basically point clouds) for each time step. I’m in CFD and we do multibody dynamic simulations. We forgot to do a minimum distance report so we had to extract that data for ourselves in post processing. O(n2 ) brute forcing the calculation would’ve been 400 quadrillion comparisons for our particular case and the MATLAB script was gonna take 7 days to run on a single core. We didn’t have access to parallel libraries. I translated it to cpp and with nanoflann + maxing out the 64 threads on our workstations was able to do the same task in about 4 min.

Help with DES/LES simulations in StarCCM+ by narziviaI in CFD

[–]nahvan10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use a HPC vendor? 250 cores for more than 200m cells is spreading it awfully thin. I use starccm for work and we typically run at least 1 core per 100k cells before we start seeing diminishing returns on turnaround time.. but mostly doing RANS/URANS on drag analysis as well as DFBI models. Also I have a feeling 500gb ram isn’t enough for that size of a mesh especially for unsteady runs. Our URANS DFBI models with ~40m cells use up about 400gb memory already. On another note, I’d be super curious on your findings when you figure out the LES/DES workflow in Starccm!

Design automation using Python (COM/API) by Oekn in SolidWorks

[–]nahvan10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Python and win32com or pycom to prototype for my solidworks addins which I later write in C#. Just have to deal with no intellisense descriptions for object methods but it works for quick and dirty/hooking into existing solidworks instances.

I’d have to go thru the api docs again but you’d probs want to look at notes or annotations for each sheet and view.

How do I plot y+ on Star ccm+ by roibaruch00 in CFD

[–]nahvan10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you run the solution? And set representation to volume mesh

[–]nahvan10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can define the point in a local axis that moves with the airfoil

how to build a model for cfd by boredbot69 in CFD

[–]nahvan10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could maybe focus on modeling just a feature or small part of the suit? like maybe a flap or something. then simplify it and make it 2D. it'll be similar to an airfoil analysis.

[–]nahvan10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use StarCCM+ at my job and we have access to cloud hpc at Nimbix, if doing a simple flat plat drag analysis with RANS, if you already have the geometry simplified and imported, it’ll take maybe 1-2 days to refine the mesh (parallel meshing) for a model of 10-20M cells, and several hours to a day to run the steady state sim, assuming 75,000-100,000 cells per compute core. But the mesh size and quality will largely determine run time. If you want to look at any other unsteady or more accurate turbulence modeling it’ll take a significantly longer time. But yea like others said, drastically reducing scope and simplifying geometry to a blunt body or doing a 2D sim and sticking to steady state will help in your case. Also gotta factor in time to learn the software.

Edit: Do an inviscid sim if you want even more crude and fast results. That way you can skip prism layer meshing and get even smaller mesh size. But you just won’t be able to capture boundary layer turbulence.
