Great work Nicole and Ayrton! I also combine Autodesk Fusion with Blender-Octane for my work too. My friend was making an octopus, clipper boat, and ocean for his CNC class but was having trouble modeling ocean waves realistically in CAD. Because of my experience combining CAD and Blender and Adobe CC, I told him to run the water simulation in Blender then import it into Fusion to prep for CNC. I love the insights into your process and am keen on seeing what's next! If you haven't already, try out Blender-Octane which is a free version of Blender that includes Otoy's Octane rendering engine. I like it because I appreciate the way it handles metallic materials, lighting, and textures. Also, the quality per rendering time /resources is great because I'm doing it all on my gaming laptop as opposed to sending to a render farm / server rendering / big beefy workstation. I'm curious about what's next, especially for Simulation Nodes and as Blender evolves 🚀

This is all cool mate. Blender is an all in one package no doubt. But for you guys you should definitely look into adding plasticity to the pipeline.

Glad to see more companies getting into using Blender. I will say that it can be quite frustrating with the process that Autodesk now makes you go through to export models from their suite. They've slowly been phasing out the importing/exporting of universal 3D file formats from each piece of their software offerings (you can find the supported file lists documented on their website by each year). I understand that's to keep you within their eco-system (much like Apple), but overall I think it's hurting their business in the long-run. To attest to Blender's practical application; I have made precise models (turned products) for real-world manufacturing, solely using Blender.

Nicole said you convert the cad models to OBJ and then import them into Blender. You may want to check out an addon called Stepper, which allows importing STEP files. It's really quite good, it retains custom mesh normals from the CAD model ensuring smooth shading, retains the CAD file structure, correctly instances parts that are reused multiple times, etc. Really helpful for working with CAD files in Blender.

Ahh thank you for this tip, I usually export .obj 's from Autodesk Fusion then throw them into Blender-Octane edition for my projects.

You are missing one crucial aspect of a good FEA/CFD workstation when running on a "gaming" CPU. While the single core performance of these CPUs is great, these CPUs have only 2 memory channels while server CPUs have 4 and upwards memory channels (todays CPUs can have 8 or even 12 memory channels). Having a high clock speed core is moot when you don't have enough memory channels to transfer the data across the cores, that's the main reason FEA workstations work with server grade CPUs, you most likely bottlenecked the CPU with the constrain on the memory distribution between cores. Although if you only have a license for 8 cores you are probably fine (the rule of thumb is 4 cores per channel), but then you could have chosen much more "economically efficient" CPU since most of your cores are un-usable during a simulation run.

why not HSK holders?
@elementengineering
@elementengineering Ай бұрын
Our machine is a standard spec machine specified by DMG Mori Australia. It has the 15,000RPM SK40 BIG-PLUS spindle. The BIG-PLUS technology allows the use of standard SK40 tools holders, or the BIG-PLUS holders which have the 'Face Contact' contact with the spindle, in the same way as the HSK tool system. Essentially this is trying to give the same sort of advantages as HSK for surface finish, tool life etc. If we had the 20,000RPM spindle then DMG Mori Aus would specify the HSKA-63 spindle. This is an all round machine for us. But as we do more specific work, if we purchased another machine, and needed the higher speeds, we would definitely be looking at HSK.

14:12 what is draft he is referring to on the plastic parts?
@elementengineering
@elementengineering Ай бұрын
Draft is an angle on the outside shape, that allows a more simplified mould. Having no draft usually means you need to have a collapsible core inside the part, which is a much more complex and expensive mould. No draft means you can have square sides, instead of them being 3deg from square.

Do you use any HPC packs? What was the reason to not go for xeon based CPU with AVX512 support? Im looking ahead for my Ansys mech workflow/PC. Great video.
@ayrtonsue4193
@ayrtonsue4193 3 ай бұрын
Hi Ryan... yes, we have a HPC pack allowing for use of a GPU with a limited number of cores. Although, I believe we have trialled the use of GPU's on some jobs and often it hasnt resulted in significant performance improvements for a lot of our static or quasi-static FEA analyses. We have successfully used gaming PC's due to their high single core throughput when using a limited number of cores. We are now starting to ramp up usage of the Ansys 'cloud licenses' (I forget the name of the new system) which is great when we have more work than our perpetual licenses will permit. We have not completed any back to back comparison of Xeon performance with the new instruction set. This would be good to see any data on the performance improvement per clock cycle and whether this would exceed the throughput from a higher clocked (overclocked) gaming PC. Classicaly, we have run the gaming PC's because of ease of access to parts if something fails, the much lower initial cost of the machine, and the high clock speed/single core throughput using our perpetual licenses. But this may need to be reassessed as we scale more. Im sure Ansys, or your VAR could provide acess to info and even machines to test the performance differences. I'd be super interested to undertake that process. Maybe for another video! :) Let me know your thoughts.

AMD's 7000 series also now support the AVX512 instruction set. The main issue with gaming chips over hedt/HPC chips is lack of memory bandwidth, especially when using more than 6-8 cores in dual channel as you become I/o bottlenecked pretty quick. The main discrepancy now between intel and AMD is the lack of support of the intel maths kernel libraries with AMD chips as it's well regarded as the best optimised for the required matrix calcs. I'd be interested to see a benchmark from Ansys on Intel's mkl Vs AMD blis to see how much of a difference there is.

Hello, just wondering why you focus on raw CPU throughput instead of GPU acceleration? Ansys has a GPU override env var, and SOLIDWORKS can be overridden as well (all within ToS of course), so I don't quite understand why you wouldn't simply utilize multiple RTX 4090s or several V100 SXM2s (using the Supermicro X10DGO-SXMV and RSC-G-6)? I've built a quad-V100 SXM2 server for US$2000, and it performs quite while especially at that price. Please feel free to correct me, I feel like I've missed some important details.
