There are number of new projects on the backburner that I believe would be of use to you, MVP Blog readers. So, I am very excited to introduce to you my partner for several of these projects, Dr. Sunil Acharya.

Sunil is an expert in Multiphysics Modeling and Product Development, as well as a very creative entrepreneur. Since I started talking with him a few weeks back, our list of joint ventures has been expanding exponentially. Just to give you some ideas of what will be coming up in the next several months:

- We are working on putting together a series of materials on effective engineering computer modeling, tailored specifically for industry professionals (think “Cliff Notes”). The idea is to help engineers who are working for companies that actually need to create products (as opposed to prove nebulous theories) to do their job better with the help of computer simulations.

- We are also putting together an on-line conference, that will provide technical professionals with specific tools and techniques that will help them find new jobs, get promotions or simply keep their current employment.

If you are interested in learning more about either one of those projects, please contact me at masha@mvpmodelingsolutions.com.

And now it is my pleasure to introduce to Dr. Acharya and his article: Braving a New World.

Braving a new world

I used to be fascinated with listening to the conversations of people born in the first quarter of the 20^th century. Their stories reminded me of walking from one chamber of a natural history museum to another: horses, lights, cars, phones, A-bomb… I used to think that that those experiences were one of a kind and that there will never be another generation with so many changes in a single lifetime.

Thanks to all of you who responded to my previous post on “How Much is Your Time Worth?” Not only are you keeping this blog alive, you are making it more popular by the minute! Thank you for that.

I recently became the exclusive USA distributor for EURO/CFD, a European based company that provides CAD and CAE (including CFD) simulation services. The main reason for this partnership being that my services are complimentary to EURO/CFD’s. I educate organizations on how to be more successful with computer modeling, and how to translate real-world engineering problems into computer simulations. Once specific areas and techniques are identified, and if a client wants a fast, clean, expert solution to their modeling problem, EURO/CFD will do a great job on that side. The services of MVP Modeling Solutions and EURO/CFD greatly compliment each other resulting in a happy client with a start-to-end solution to their complex engineering problem.

Since my previous post on saving time and headache with outsourcing, got such rave reviews, this week I am continuing that theme and in the spirit of my new partnership with EURO/CFD I present to you:

TOP 5 REASONS TO OUTSOURCE YOUR MODELING WORK

How many of you, reading this, are certain that you are keeping your job this year?

I thought that would deviate a bit from my usual technical musings, and dedicate this post to those of you who are not all that certain about where your next paycheck will be coming from. This post is for you - the highly talented and skilled engineers and scientists who might have to look for a job, or a total change in your career, this year.

Recently, I had a chance to work with some companies in chemical and automotive industries, and it has been impossible to ignore the pink elephant in the room - the massive amounts of talented scientists and engineers being laid off from their jobs at these companies due to the economy.
