New Stratasys F3300 Significantly Boosts PADT’s 3D Printing Services Efficiency and Capability

We love it when a big truck shows up in PADT’s back parking lot, especially when there is a big crate inside. New equipment has arrived! On this particular April morning, the truck was dropping off PADT’s brand-new Stratasys F3300 Industrial Additive Manufacturing system. Everyone said the same thing, “It is so big.” In fact, it just fit inside the truck, and we had to use all of our forklift skills to get it through the door.

Simulating Enforced Motion in Ansys Mechanical Structural Dynamics Problems

Back in engineering school, most of us studied the classical dynamics solution for a harmonic oscillator subject to a base motion. There are four different ways to model this situation in Ansys Mechanical, and PADT's Alex Grishin has created a tutorial to show how to do the first two using base excitation and the large mass method.
