My partnership with EURO/CFD is officially announced

Posted on November 18th, 2009 by Masha Petrova

Why should you care?

If you and/or your colleagues are looking for clean, fast, reliable way to model  an engineering problem (s), contact me. Although not for everyone, outsourcing CFD, CAD and other CAE work might be a great solution for you and your company.

I will be involved in all of your communications with EURO/CFD to make sure that you get the highest quality service and the best possible solution to your problem.

Some stats on EURO/CFD:

Client List:  General Electric, Siemens, INRS, Saint-Gobain PAM, Alcatel, Arcelor Mittal, Constructions Métalliques Florentaises, EDF,  PSA,  TI Automotive, and Valeo. Read more »

America’s technology education is suffering and innovation is dying: What you can do about it.

Posted on November 10th, 2009 by Masha Petrova

The numbers of USA scientists and technologists are dwindling. Our teachers are underpaid and 40% of them are teaching in the areas for which they are not qualified. These factors are directly impacting our industrial innovation.

The Franklin Foundation, a new non-profit organization, is on a mission to change that and you are invited to help lead it (and build your professional resume in the process). Read more »

I need your feedback on a new project idea!

Posted on November 3rd, 2009 by Masha Petrova

Dear Experts,

I would love your feedback on a new project idea. Any guidance that you can provide to me would be extremely appreciated!

I am currently working on a series of booklets (to be converted into a published book in the future) that will address engineering computer modeling problems that R&D professionals are currently facing in the industry.

The idea is to help engineers in the industry to do their job better with the help of computer simulations.

In order to make sure that we are covering things that will be of interest to you, and the rest of the engineering community, I would very much appreciate your replies to these questions. (comment on this post, or email me directly: masha@mvpmodelingsolutions.com ).

1) What industry do you specialize in (auto, gas turbine, materials, oil, energy…etc)?

2) What are some challenges, if any, have you experienced with engineering computer modeling (CFD, 0D/1D, chemical modeling, CAD, FEA, etc). These problems can be anything from “experimentalists don’t take me seriously” to “management does not understand modeling results” to “there are no decent software tools available” or any others.

3) If a book was to be written on engineering computer modeling, what topics, examples, etc would you like to see it cover, in order for the book to be helpful in your line of work?

4) Do you currently have any books/materials on computer modeling that have been of a use to you? What are they?

Your feedback would be immensely helpful to me! Thank you in advance!
