As an aerospace engineer who codes rather than a software engineer, is there a cheatsheet that talks about how to use git from a "when do I commit/merge/etc" rather than a "this the command to perform commit/me

The issues with most resumes isn't the template. It's the mediocre content full of fluff and buzzwords rather than anything tangible.

Because his answers are accurate. While weight and aerodynamic performance are very important, aircraft design is inherently multi-disciplinary and requires tradeoffs depending on the design requirements.

No, the forces are transferred to the fuselage in any case. If they weren't, the wing wouldn't be bending relative to the cabin, it would just experience rigid body motion instead.

The article's explanation is a bit simplified. It sounds like his explanation is more akin to a body freedom flutter response where the aircraft's short-period mode is coupled to the structural response. What he observed is prob

Why MATLAB? If you're looking to optimize, that's the opposite direction I'd be going. Numba, Cython or writing C or Fortran if you really need the speed is where you should be going imo.

There's plenty of engineering software that's written in Fortran (plenty of F77 code still around and in use too).

I'm surprised he didn't mention the volumetric efficiency of compressed hydrogen compared to gasoline when comparing the specific energy density of the two fuels. Yes, you have more than 3x the energy per unit mass, but you have

Your requirements are from the perspective of people who view/use the code. I'd argue there are many benefits for the coder by releasing code including getting feedback from the community on aspects that could be improved or chan

Hypersonic flight environments are very, very difficult to replicate in wind tunnels. We can replicate portions of the environment, but due to the highly coupled nature of the responses seen by flight vehicles at these speeds, there's

Vanguard target date retirement fund. Auto-invest set and forget. Maybe once I have more I'll do a 3-fund portfolio to reduce the expenses a bit. Returns should generally track the market, pretty much hold until retirement.

That's probably your best bet. I know with Abaqus, you could potentially do that with the python scripting, but a lot of the stuff I've done creates a model with a python script, writes a dummy input file with nodes, element conn

I haven't used Calculix, but I was under the impression it uses an Abaqus format input deck? Looking at the documentation, this appears to be the case.
