Hello here are some tips for cfd simulation engineers from Stephen Ferguson who currently works with CD-Adapco (STAR-CCM+),
It occurred to me just the other day, that I've now been a simulation engineer for over 20 years (despite my youthful good looks, I really am that old). Back in the early 90s, when I fired up pro-STAR up for the first time, there were no 40 year old simulation engineers (or at least none that had survived to tell the tale).
Most of the advice I got from the previous generation of CFD engineers wasn't very useful: "you don't know how lucky you are being able to see your simulations on the screen, we had to make our models using punch cards and post process with a pen and a dot matrix printer."
To celebrate 20 years in the game, I thought that I'd write my top seven tips for a long (if not successful) career in engineering simulation:
