This helps us to understand how this will have an impact upon the component life, and component or material suitability for use. These components can be used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and nuclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2 &#8211; How do you use BEAR services?<\/strong><br>We use the compute nodes on <a href=\"https:\/\/intranet.birmingham.ac.uk\/bluebear\">BlueBEAR<\/a> to submit large Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and finite element models to calculate. We use the storage facilities (<a href=\"https:\/\/intranet.birmingham.ac.uk\/research-data-store\">Research Data Store<\/a>) to save very large data sets and modelling outputs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/bear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2023\/01\/IMG_7933-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Richard showing Bear some CFD modelling on the computer\" class=\"wp-image-2273\" width=\"369\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/bear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2023\/01\/IMG_7933-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/bear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2023\/01\/IMG_7933-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/bear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2023\/01\/IMG_7933-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/bear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2023\/01\/IMG_7933-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/bear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2023\/01\/IMG_7933-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/bear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2023\/01\/IMG_7933-250x188.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 85vw, 369px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Simulation in action<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3 &#8211; What is the best thing about BEAR (apart from me)<\/strong><br>BEAR provides a platform for our researchers to compute simulations which are beyond the capabilities of our desktop workstations.
