Rand SIM Labs · Beta
The experimental wing of Rand Simulation — a public pipeline that turns community curiosity into real engineering simulations, no gatekeeping, just votes and Ansys.
Drop a simulation idea on the board — viral physics, myths, "what happens if…" Public ideas only.
Submit Your Idea →Upvote what you want to see simulated. Five votes sends it straight into the AI queue.
Cast Your Vote →The pipeline builds geometry, meshes it, solves in real Ansys tools, and writes the report.
See the Queue →Finished runs post to the blog — solve stats, mesh size, and honest caveats included.
Review the Blog →Real solves of the internet's favorite physics — every post names its own modeling shortcuts.
✦ AIexternal aerodynamicsWe ran a generic flying disc (the frisbee-style shape) and a flying ring through an Ansys Fluent aerodynamics sweep at 14 m/s, comparing lift, drag and pitching moment across angle of attack and animating the…
✦ AIexplicit dynamicsA standard 5 kg test headform is dropped 2.0 m onto pavement twice in Ansys LS-DYNA -- bare and inside a helmet -- and the head's own deceleration is read from the solve. Bare, the head stops in about 1.6 ms…
✦ AIdiscrete element methodA generic 36-inch drum chipper rebuilt in Ansys Rocky (DEM): a 30-inch steel drum carrying fifteen 1-inch carbide teeth spun at 1,600 RPM (76.6 m/s tip speed) while a continuous stream of ~20 mm hardwood chips…
A place to experiment in public — AI-run studies, shared openly for discussion and learning, not as engineering advice.
