Virtual design of experiments with Blender
Blender as a supporting tool for 3D DIC experiments Have you ever heard of Blender? Blender is a comprehensive, open-source, cross-platform 3D creation suite that can be used to create photo-realistic renders, animations, or even full-length movies. Blender’s render engine can produce physically based photo-realistic renders of any 3D environment. In particular, it can be used…

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a measurement technique that processes pictures taken from cameras to track and record the surface motion of a deforming solid. In the mechanical engineering field, it has been widely used to monitor and process test data in both research and industrial contexts, for applications ranging from common material testing to…
Read MoreThe digital twin: bringing the real world into your simulations
To estimate a structure’s mechanical behavior, proactive numerical studies have become common practice in mechanical engineering. Finite element modeling is now involved at all stages of the mechanical design project, from material behavior estimation (especially for composite materials), to intermediate assemblies, all the way up to structural computations. At each of the previous stages, simulations…
