We took as a reference the set of solutions achieved in the NASA CHALLENGE: Novel Recuperator Design for Cryogenic Fluid Management System, and proceeded to enhance the solutions we had proposed. In the M25 Chair - Synthesis of Mechanisms and Machines, we recognize this task as: Divergent-Convergent Creative Postprocessing.

The ASME Y14 series provides a unified set of standards for technical drawings used in engineering and manufacturing. These standards ensure consistency, clarity, and accuracy from design to production. Below is a summary of the most essential ASME Y14 standards every engineer and CAD designer should know:

In geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), MMC (Maximum Material Condition) and LMC (Least Material Condition) are fundamental concepts that help ensure proper part fit and function during manufacturing and assembly. These concepts link the physical size of a feature with its allowable geometric tolerance, enabling more flexible yet controlled manufacturing.

This tutorial explains how to calculate the percentage of a specific alloying element (e.g. C, Mn, Cr, Ni) in a weld bead based on contributions from base metal, filler metal, and other additives. This calculation is critical in welding metallurgy to predict the final chemical composition of the weld and ensure mechanical properties meet standards.

The ASME Y14.5-2018 standard is one of the most comprehensive and widely used guides for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) in engineering drawings. It provides standardized definitions and symbols to ensure clarity and consistency in design, manufacturing, and inspection processes. This article summarizes and explains the key terms and concepts from the standard to help engineers, designers, and technical professionals better understand and apply GD&T principles effectively.

This is the most complete Abaqus welding tutorial available on YouTube — a full-length masterclass that takes you from beginner to advanced welding simulation techniques using Abaqus. We start with a simple moving heat source (no subroutines), then simulate weld buildup using element reactivation. Next, we apply an analytical field equation to model heat input without writing code. From there, we dive into advanced simulations using the Gaussian DFLUX subroutine and then the Goldak double ellipsoid model for arc welding. Finally, we show how to predict residual stress after welding using actual temperature results. Whether you’re just starting or refining your workflow, this is the only Abaqus welding tutorial you’ll need. 🎥 Chapters Included: • Moving Heat Source Simulation • Element reactivation for weld buildup • Analytical field heat input • Gaussian DFLUX welding (laser simulation) • Goldak DFLUX welding (arc welding) • Residual stress prediction in Abaqus
