Static Equivalent Model Reduction in Ansys Mechanical | |
Ansys Mechanical users are often asked to simulate the structural response of a simple area in a complex geometry. One way to do this is to reduce the model to a static equivalent model reduction – creating a simplified model that acts close enough to a larger, more complex representation. PADT’s Alex Grishin, PhD, recently put together a presentation to dive into what he has learned about static equivalent model reduction over the years and how to quickly get a model that gives useful and accurate results. . | |

Exploring New Horizons with Stratasys H350: SAF Polypropylene (PP) Joins the Lineup with Proven Strength | |
In the fast-paced world of additive manufacturing, the key to innovation lies in material advancements that redefine what’s possible. Stratasys continues to push the envelope with the introduction of SAF Polypropylene (PP) for their H350 3D printer, powered by Selective Absorption Fusion (SAF) technology. This isn’t just a new material—it’s a game-changer that opens the door to exciting possibilities across industries, from automotive to consumer goods. | |

Robinson R66 Helicopter Receives FAA Approval to Double Service Life | Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC), the world’s leading manufacturer of civil helicopters, obtained FAA approval to double the service life on specific Robinson R66 helicopter components from 2,000 to 4,000 hours. This approval, backed by previously approved data and structural testing, will help operators reduce maintenance costs, enhance reliability, lower operating costs by 6%, and reduce hourly reserve for overhauls by 25%. | |  |
Steward Observatory Balloon Mission Breaks NASA Record 22 Miles Above Antarctica | On a nearly windless morning on the Ross Ice Shelf, a stadium-size balloon took flight above Antarctica, carrying with it far infrared technology from the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory in search of clues about the stellar life cycle in our galaxy and beyond. GUSTO – short for the Galactic / Extragalactic ULDB Spectroscopic Terahertz Observatory – has now broken the record as NASA's longest-flying heavy-lift balloon mission, which previously stood at 55 days, 1 hour and 34 minutes. | | |

Ansys Custom Training
| |
What you want to learn, when you want to learn it
Standard classes are not always the best solution, especially when overhead hours are hard to come by or you have very specific training needs. That is why over two-thirds of PADT’s Ansys classes are custom. Our experienced training coordinators work with your team to design the right class, of the right length, covering the right topics.

PADT Hosts Hands-On Workshop for Industrial 3D Printing
On Friday, August 23, PADT hosted a Stratasys New Technologies half-day Hands-on Workshop covering the Origin DLP and SAF powder-bed 3D printer systems. Seven attendees across three companies (Microchip, Naden Engineering, and Southwest Microwave) had the chance to post-process completed samples from both systems, learning the steps of the full workflow (both software and hardware) and taking home their final parts.
