Simulations
Wobbl runs four kinds of study, and each one comes back checked and with a confidence level.
| Study | Solver | Command | Checked by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | CalculiX | wobbl run |
mesh convergence, force balance, a beam hand calculation, singularities and more |
| Heat | CalculiX | wobbl thermal |
mesh convergence, energy balance and a lumped hand calculation |
| Circuits | ngspice | wobbl circuit |
the textbook answer, power balance and a run at half the time step |
| Motion | scipy | wobbl motion |
closed forms, an energy balance, a delta v budget and a run at a tighter tolerance |
You can also ask a strength, heat or circuit question in plain words, as in wobbl part.step "will it crack under 200 N?",
and Wobbl picks the kind of study from the question, which
wobbl ask explains.
- StrengthStatic stress and deflection with CalculiX, refined until the peak settles.
- HeatSteady and transient temperatures with convection, radiation and held temperatures.
- CircuitsLEDs, RC networks, buck converters, MOSFETs or any netlist in ngspice.
- MotionDrops, throws and rocket flights through air, wind, thrust and parachutes.
