How Many Design Experiments Does a Machine Learning Predictor Actually Need?

AnneMarie CFD — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:20:00 GMT

Machine learning prediction in CAE has a clear proposition: Train a predictor on solved design experiments, then evaluate new designs in seconds instead of hours. The proposition is only as good as the training dataset, and the dataset is the expensi...(read more)

Part 3: From Flow Simulation to Acoustic Insight with Cradle CFD and Actran

Cadence MSC Software — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

In Part 1, we introduced aeroacoustics as the sound generated by moving air. In Part 2, we compared the main simulation strategies and looked at why the right method depends on the design question. In this final part, we focus on what happens next: h...(read more)

Part 2: Simulating Aeroacoustics: From CFD Sources to Acoustic Propagation

Cadence MSC Software — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

In Part 1, we looked at what aeroacoustics means and why it is such a good example of multiphysics. The basic idea is simple: moving air creates pressure fluctuations, and some of those fluctuations become sound. The engineering challenge begins when...(read more)
