Computational Fluid Dynamics: Quilting for Easier Meshing!

Veena Parthan

Fidelity Pointwise includes the concept of meshing regions defined on the CAD level, known as quilts. Quilts provide a watertight representation of the geometry that hides unnecessary complex topology in the underlying geometry and reduces the meshing regions.

Digital Design: Brain on Fire - AI/ML Art Creation

FormerMember

No matter how you feel about the topic, we're definitely past the turning point in history where most humans interact with machines much more than other humans.

Advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) have helped us develop immensely useful and sometimes just-for-fun applications including image creations with AI inputs.

Look at these images generated from text for example, with some weights…

Verification: Flash Toggle NAND 4.0 in a Nutshell

GauravJ

NAND Flash memory is now a widely accepted non-volatile memory in many application areas for data storage such as digital cameras, USB drive, SSD and smartphones. One form of NAND flash memory, Toggle NAND, was introduced to transmit high-speed data asynchronously thus consuming less power and increasing the density of the NAND flash device.

The initial Toggle NAND versions had memory arranged in terms of SLC (Single Level…
