Maybe you know I like numerical calculations, well I do. I think they are swell. VPython is my tool of choice. In the post Basics: Numerical Calculations I used vpython and excel to do something ...

In this video, we’ll break down how to solve physics problems involving the motion of a 2D spring. Learn about the forces at play, how to model the spring’s movement, and the key concepts behind ...

Spring-loaded plungers use a spring and a plunger (or ball tip) to exert a precise and repeatable force. They are a better option than having engineers cobble together an assembly that uses a simple, ...

In this installment: FEA plus simulation Information exports Load analysis When computer-aided engineering (CAE) methods became available for design work When computer-aided engineering (CAE) methods ...
