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.
✦ AIbuoyant plumeFire up a grill and someone two yards over smells it within a minute -- the smoke seems to vanish upward, yet the smell crosses the fence. We simulated a backyard grill in Ansys Fluent as a TRANSIENT buoyant…
✦ AIanalog computingBefore silicon, engineers computed with physical analog machines -- soap films that found minimal surfaces, resistor grids that solved for voltages, water tanks that integrated equations -- that didn't…
✦ AIrigid-body dynamicsEveryone has leaned back in an office chair and felt that half-second of panic. It turns out how far you can go has almost nothing to do with how hard you lean -- it's set by the five-star base. A chair tips…
A place to experiment in public — AI-run studies, shared openly for discussion and learning, not as engineering advice.
