The innovative Nonlinear Adaptivity (NLAD) feature in Mechanical APDL not only re-meshes distorted elements, but also removes elements that exceed certain strains. This allows us to implicitly simulate breakage. Check out the demo below where a steel pin is pushed through a plastic body.

Angular momentum is a fundamental principle in physics that explains why spinning objects resist changes in their orientation. When a bicycle wheel spins rapidly, it becomes harder to tilt or turn due to the conservation of angular momentum—the same concept behind gyroscopes. This resistance occurs because, as long as no external torque acts on the object, the angular momentum vector stays fixed. That’s why a spinning wheel or object seems to “fight” against being moved. Angular momentum is essentially the rotational equivalent of linear momentum. It applies to everything from figure skaters spinning on ice to planets orbiting in space. Just as linear momentum is conserved in motion, angular momentum remains constant in rotation unless acted upon by an outside force. This principle, formalized in the 18th century by scientists like Leonhard Euler, continues to be a cornerstone in understanding motion, stability, and balance in physics.

Tesla’s Optimus hype is back in the news, and not for great reasons. Reports suggest production bottlenecks aren’t in the legs, AI, or sensors—𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬. And that’s telling. Because if we’re honest, what we really want in robots isn’t a humanoid shape—it’s human-like dexterity. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭: ✋ 𝘔𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘥𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘵. ✋ 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴, 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘣𝘴, 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘺, 𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴?

Even small advances in soft robotics, tactile sensing, and adaptive grippers could have more impact on automation than a whole army of Optimus units. Piling up half-finished humanoids in a factory because the hands aren’t ready underscores the real problem: Do we need a humanoid… or just great robotic hands? Elon Musk has pegged a $25 trillion valuation dream on Optimus, but history suggests it might be smarter to invest in the unglamorous, less headline-grabbing work of dexterous manipulation first. Because until we crack that, humanoids are mostly expensive props. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤—𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬?

Feeling tense? This robot turns that tension into movement. Tensegrity robots are made up of bars connected with tensed cables that enable their movement. However, tensegrity robots’ shape makes it difficult to model, with high degrees of freedom and complex dynamics. This means comparatively poor state estimation, not knowing the robot’s current shape or trajectory, which limits its autonomous uses. To get around this? “For our design, we used quasi-direct drive actuators, typically used in legged robots or exoskeletons,” said Xiaonan Sean Huang, associate professor of Robotics at the University of Michigan. “These actuators can control cable stiffness and detect external forces through motor current sensing, eliminating the need for external torque sensors, force sensors, or series elastic elements.” Read more on this team's work, that includes Jonathan Mi, Wenzhe Tong, and Yilin Ma: https://lnkd.in/dcxuhHnb

🔋 𝐋𝐆 𝐌𝟓𝟖𝐓 𝐯𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝟓𝟖𝐄 — two new cells added to About:Energy library this week In a 𝟔𝟎 𝐤𝐖𝐡 𝟗𝟔𝐒𝟑𝟓𝐏 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤 with 5.8 Ah cells, nominal voltage is about ~350 V and peaks just over 400 V at full charge — a key factor in drivetrain and thermal design. Our simulation compared both cells over a WLTP cycle, giving customers day-one system insights and cutting months from evaluation. Voltage performance was near identical, but the 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝟓𝟖𝐄 𝐫𝐚𝐧 ~𝟑°𝐂 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐫, easing thermal management and reducing pack non-uniformity that drives SoH and SoC variation. These two Korean majors do not make the headlines like ultra high power chemistries but they have been widely adopted in EV, aerospace and mobility where balanced performance and cost are key. In industry this choice often takes 9 months to complete from securing samples to lining up lab and engineering time to extracting insights you can trust. That is time you cannot afford to lose ⏳ Are you a battery strategy leader who wants the right data to make the most important decision in electrification — battery cell selection? Let’s talk 🚀
