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.

Couldn't agree more with you that breaking things is the proper way to get things tested, but not necessarily designed - modern software have helped a lot since the last decade. We had a "vault" filled with blown up everything when I was a wage-slave in Milton Keynes back in the days. The most expansive rubbish-pile I saw in my life! I've mopped the floors around it many times

Simulation software are excellent at pre-evaluating stresses vs material-types and sizes selections. Some even comes with unique features under Menu > Dumb > Very Dumb > where you can select: Driver has failed O2 sensors, bad MAF, clogged FIs, Wal-Mart cheap oil, and it simulate the rapid effects of contamination and oil balls has on engines, steels and seals

Priceless. Look up for ANSYS Co. (ANSYS - Simulation Driven Product Development)

Everything has a place.. We use simulations when they make sense, for all other things we use practical application. I use simulation software primarily for designing my camshafts and engine combinations.

The ability to put a cylinder head on a flow bench, gather port flow data, then throw a camshaft in the profiler and gather those numbers, then throw all of that into the matching engine simulation software and start building a new combination without having to assemble it is a great thing. That said, there are few times that things in the real world go the same when building that magical combination, and of course the second generation of it is always better than the first.

Its engine evolution.
