@jchawner I think yes. Years ago I was talking to a manager at Ansys, and they said it was about 10-1, cost of developing front end vs. back end.

[Jim Shaw @fastwayjim]

@BostEngineering Yesssss! Looking forward to it next week!

This filter is called "moon". Fitting, since just above this room (ISS Mission Control) is the original Apollo Mission Control Room. Goosebumps. #bestweekever @ Christopher C. Kraft Jr.… https://t.co/hgJJdxRgUG

@samueljbrewer Thanks a lot Sam!

[Jim Shaw @fastwayjim]

I’m excited to share that I’ve been named one of the 2018 Engineering Leaders Under 40 by Plant Engineering magazine! https://t.co/GWdHOQounY Thank you @PlantEngMag for recognizing the impact Fastway Engineering is making by training engineers! #CAD #FEA #CFD

After a great @FormulaSAE competition chatting with students about #fea and #cfd I noticed this wonderful structured grid on the way home!

[Jim Shaw @fastwayjim]

See you there! https://t.co/vekQoqBWD0

@FryRsquared I bought a book once because it was bright orange. It gave me an idea to start a business. Quit my job and did it. Couldn't be happier.

[Jim Shaw @fastwayjim]

Just published my second "History of CAD/CAE" Interactive Timeline, this time with insight into the evolution of capability/technology. This is such a fun research project! https://t.co/QgDLIjNOHT

[Jim Shaw @fastwayjim]

@albertop78 @jchawner Agreed. My experience (via industry, not academia) is that behind every technical decision is a business decision. There is an order of magnitude more uncertainty in the latter, and sometimes that completely overrules the outcome of the former.

[Jim Shaw @fastwayjim]

@jchawner @albertop78 I think what's changing is the amount of data "those people" have to make such certifications. Perhaps we are only now beginning to quantify risk with statistical significance?

[Jim Shaw @fastwayjim]

THIS. "The report also paints a future where engineers and scientists will determine a material’s properties from computer models, not empirical data, and regulators will certify aircraft, and their systems and materials, based mainly on computer simulations." https://t.co/QOWO116q4G

@jchawner Is this an admission of guilt?

Who doesn't love a little Conjugate Heat Transfer competition! https://t.co/FXzKe0KJ9Y

[SimScale @SimScale]

New year, new “Solve it with SimScale” challenge! Our new case is focused on validating heat transfer in a novel heat exchanger—solve it in 30 days and win! https://t.co/rGqOLnc3cA #SimulationFriday

[Jim Shaw @fastwayjim]

@IMSA That's so meta.

"The CFD work is so important for us to understand where the hot spots are, so we can get right to it." CFD isn't just about Lift & Drag you know... #13heatexchangers https://t.co/tD73RHSD4I
