where:
f(θ) is the intensity of the force
a is the radius of the hole
and Fo is a scale factor calculated such that the sum of all forces acting on the nodes in the vertical direction (ΣFo*Sin2(θ)) is set equal to the specified force value, F.
Intensity of the force is assumed uniform in the z-direction. |
Breaking things and gaining first hand experience is required.
Too many simulations were utilized when designing the M96 engine, IMHO.
The sweet spot between simulations and real world practical application is where I try to operate.
Plus, I REALLY enjoy breaking things. I am damn good at it, too.
