Hello again people. I finished my previous, research-related post only seconds ago, and now I’m already writing a new one – this! And it’s going to contain some diet tips! How awesome is that?! I have only my recipe for…
Reluctance networks 101
Some months ago, I wrote about being busy writing papers both to the ICEM and EPNC conferences, the latter of which is being organized by our research group in Helsinki next month. Now, I’m happy to announce both were accepted…
The Importance of Middle Road
Outside highways, taking the middle lane is usually the best. Hi people, just a brief update now. A couple of days ago, I came across an awesome Facebook post by one Steve Hall. It was about the importance of the…
Electromechanics proudly presents SMEKitchen
I have already written about the ongoing campaign of my research group – Electromechanics at Aalto University – to gain more visibility and hopefully students too. For instance, see two of our videos with discussion here and here, or check…
Direction of a rectangle, part 2
Numerical orientation of a polygon continues Hi again! Last time, I wrote about how I was given some a very basic FEM mesh, and had to determine the magnetization direction of a permanent magnet from it. In simpler words, I…
Determining the direction of a rectangle
How to numerically determine the long axis of a polygon? This week, I tweeted some indecipherable-looking scripplings of mine. Although probably not apparent at first glance, I was dealing with computational geometry. Again. This time however, it was not point-in-polygon,…
Making time-stepping FEM faster, part 4
Hi folks! After a couple of serious and not-so-serious lifestyle-esque posts, it’s time to get back to work. Mine, to be exact. If you’ve read the previous instalments in this series, you know that I’m currently working on a faster…
Be a positive force!
This day marks a kind of a branch-out for me. I’ve written some posts about productivity and stuff, but so far I have regarded them as random musings and no more. However, after coming up with the idea for my…
Protein coffee
Having a small writer’s block today, so let’s not bother ourselves (read: me) with any preamble. Straight to business it is. Yesterday, I acted on a whim and developed an awesome recipe: protein coffee. Here goes: Protein coffee Fill a…
Making time-stepping FEM faster, part 3
Hi you, and welcome the the third instalment in my blog series about my ongoing work! In the first post, I explained what time-stepping finite element analysis is and why it should be made faster in the first place. The…
