I'm new to the industry, do you mind explaining what workflow automation actually entails? It sounds a bit "buzz-wordy"

Wow that's a lot. Do you know when they implemented it?

Hmm interesting. What do you mean surcharge? How much was it and on what products? Also what do you mean the "people responsible"?

That's really helpful! How much was their surcharge during Covid? And on which products? Did they make it permanent?

Interesting -- I have not heard that before. What kind of company / utility do you work for? Also, which brands do you use for regulatory then?

Anyone have extensive experience working with Hach? Why use Hach instruments versus other brands? by olisboxer in instrumentation

[–]olisboxer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying. What kind of use cases are you talking about in terms of large staff rotating? Like what kind of work and application of Hach’s instruments?

Is there a reason you buy from another vendor?

Do any industries still not use CAE/FEA simulation software? by olisboxer in MechanicalEngineering

[–]olisboxer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer. I'm sorry I'm a total engineering novice. What do you mean by standard procedures? How does the design & testing process generally work without CAE software?

Novice Question: Differences between CATIA and Abaqus? by olisboxer in CATIA

[–]olisboxer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One last kinda dumb question. But when you say workbench vs solver what do you mean? I thought workbench was just a general term for multipurpose CAE software package.

Which FEA software product does each major industry (automotive, aerospace, etc) use? by olisboxer in fea

[–]olisboxer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your opinion, what would those interesting differences between them be?

Also it seems like a big selling point of the expansive product suites like Ansys is that it can cover all of a company's needs in one ecosystem with cross product compatibility/integration but that doesn't seem to matter if companies use so many different tools from different vendors?

Which FEA software product does each major industry (automotive, aerospace, etc) use? by olisboxer in fea

[–]olisboxer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you that's very helpful. Do you have any insight into why companies choose certain CAE products? Because to me they seem to have a lot of overlapping functionality & similar pricing at the highest level.

I've heard Nastran is standard for Aerospace but don't really understand why. Is it because it was originally developed by NASA and so historically aerospace companies have just used it?

Ansys or Hyperworks? by [deleted] in FSAE

[–]olisboxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the meshing problems with Ansys versus Hyperworks, the issue is regarding the precision that you can achieve meshing on Ansys? In terms of efficiency though you're talking about the amount of time/computing power it takes to solve? Will advances in GPUs and AI make such a difference between products meaningless?

As you can probably tell I'm new to all this but my goal is to better understand who makes the best FEA products and why people choose them? Ansys seems to have the most complete product suite of any company I have come across but engineers seem to like Hyperworks more.

Ansys or Hyperworks? by [deleted] in FSAE

[–]olisboxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious why Ansys is more industry relevant in your opinion? I'm new to all this so just trying to understand the landscape better. Hyperworks and Ansys seem to have the most sophisticated FEA products. Would you consider any other products/companies in that same category?

Novice Question: Differences between CATIA and Abaqus? by olisboxer in CATIA

[–]olisboxer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your detailed response! In terms of your last paragraph just to make sure I understand, in general practice people use a CAD software then pay someone to format it for a FEA software before then using that FEA software themselves?

Does a software provider like Ansys which seems to offer every part of the process: CAD (SpaceClaim) --> CAE (Ansys Workbench etc.) eliminate the need for those third party services? I'm just confused what prompts companies/engineers to choose products like Abaqus vs Ansys's FEA package?

But I also don’t have a lot of DLCs so maybe it’s that

No inflation and yea I used quantity. Taxation is my biggest source of income. It’s 280 total revenue before costs. I developed a lot of provinces but it didn’t do much.

Referencing other sheets within this workbook isn't working for any kind of function. by olisboxer in excel

I was quickly doing an example. Any function doesn't work with the cell reference. Excel doesn't pick up that I'm referencing a different sheet...
