How to recruit electrical engineers, or any other professionals in short supply. And how almost everybody is failing at that.
Of Learning and Luck
Learning kinda follows the Pareto principle, and kinda doesn’t. Additionally, by sheer non-luck, you often do need the stuff you happen to learn.
Circuit Connections – Why You (often) Shouldn’t Use Current Supply
Current supply is commonly used in finite element analysis of electrical machines. Almost as commonly, that’s the wrong solution.
Winding Losses – If and When They Matter
When should you invest time and money into computing additional winding losses in a machine?. And when is simply winging it enough?
The 4+1 Types of Convergence
Engineers and mathematicians both love to speak about convergence, often confusing the everloving waste out of each other. Read here to avoid that fate.
Solving TEAM30a with SMEKlib and Comsol
How to solve the TEAM Workshop Problem 30a with SMEKlib, plus a comparison between it and Comsol. This time, SMEKlib was 5 times faster.
Business coaching
Want to see some first-rate BS? Google ‘business coaching’ and see what somes up. There are some gems, of course, but they’re hidden DEEP.
Periodicity, Symmetry Sectors, and Associated Errors
Electrical machines are often simulated with symmetry sectors and periodicity conditions. This speeds up things a lot, but occasionally leads to weirdness.
Thesis Language Check Done
Per university rules, I was obligated to have a language check done on my doctoral thesis. Here’s how it went, and how you can buy a beer for me.
Lessons from Teaching, and More
You learn the best by teaching. Here’s what I learned by lecturing a Master’s course called Numerical Methods in Electromechanics.
