System Modeler
Enhance Wind Turbine Design with the New Wolfram System Modeler Rotating Machinery Library
Explore the contents of this article with a free Wolfram System Modeler trial. A wind turbine gearbox, susceptible to erratic wind loads, frequently fails well before its intended lifespan. Such failures, occurring globally, not only cause significant downtime but also lead to substantial economic losses. Can simulations help avoid this?
Vedat Senol, Applications Engineer, System Modeler (MathCore)Formation Flight with the Wolfram System Modeler Aircraft Library
Explore the contents of this article with a free Wolfram System Modeler trial. The Swedish Air Force has an annual tradition of greeting the people of Sweden at the end of the year by flying their fighter jets in a formation shaped like a Christmas tree. Besides welcoming everyone, this tradition plays a role as a valuable rehearsal for the fighter pilots in formation flying and is a way to show their presence. Thus, the large amounts of fuel burned by the fighter jets, which are most certainly not known for their fuel efficiency, may be excused in this tradition.
Niko Erä-Esko, Applications Engineer, SystemModeler [MathCore]Develop a Growth Strategy for a SaaS Company with Wolfram System Modeler
Explore the contents of this article with a free Wolfram System Modeler trial. Have you ever watched Shark Tank or Dragons’ Den? Were you intrigued by the pitches of the founders? After the pitch, you might have heard the sharks or the dragons asking about the growth rate, profit or market size. What do those numbers say about a company? Are losses in the initial years always bad?
Ankit Naik, Sales Engineer, Wolfram MathCoreBowl a Strike with Wolfram System Modeler
Explore the contents of this article with a free Wolfram System Modeler trial. Bowling is a simple game that consists of a ball, 10 pins and a lane. You take the ball, come to the starting line, aim between pins 1 and 3 and throw the ball. You instinctively assume that the ball and the lane are perfect and expect the ball to go straight where you aimed.
Vedat Senol, Applications Engineer, System Modeler (MathCore) Jan Brugård, CEO, Wolfram MathCoreWhat Does Hollywood Have to Do with the Chicken Head?
In a relatively popular marketing device in the past decade, chickens found their way into online advertising and TV commercials, where their impressive focusing and stabilization skills were displayed. Hold them gently and then move them up, down or rotate them slightly, and their eyesight stays at a constant level.

Explore the contents of this article with a free Wolfram System Modeler trial.You may not know what a Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer is, but you have most certainly heard it. The TR-808 is a programmable drum machine released by Roland in 1980. The 808 is one of the most iconic drum machines and has been used in a wide variety of music, such as hip-hop, dance, soul, electro, pop and many more. Leonardo Laguna Ruiz, Software Engineer, System Modeler (MathCore)System Dynamics Modeling—Now Available with the Business Simulation Library
Explore the contents of this article with a free Wolfram System Modeler trial. System dynamics (SD) is a very powerful and flexible modeling paradigm, ideally suited to tackle strategic business, economics and public policy issues. Some years ago, Guido Wolf Reichert, management consultant and developer for BSL Management Support, Germany, stumbled into problems while modeling the public transport system in a German metropolis. He had reached the technical limits of the established SD software. While looking for alternatives, he discovered Wolfram System Modeler.
Ankit Naik, Sales Engineer, Wolfram MathCore Guido Wolf Reichert, Guest AuthorSimulating Zero Gravity to Demonstrate the Dzhanibekov Effect and Other Surprising Physics Models
Explore the contents of this article with a free Wolfram System Modeler trial. Wolfram System Modeler 12.2 was just released, featuring things such as personalization of plots, new model libraries and extended GUI support for advanced modeling. One of the other additions is a new workflow for generating 3D models from 3D shapes. We will use this feature to illustrate some bizarre and counterintuitive physics.
