Is learning Python still worth it for simulation engineers now that tools like optiSLang exist?

I work as an FEA engineer. During an internship I was exposed to optiSLang (DOE, sensitivity analysis, MOP), and that got me interested in moving toward AI/ML for simulation.

If you work in this area:

  • Which path did you take, and what would you do differently?
  • What skills do employers or teams actually ask for?
  • Any project types that worked well as a portfolio (e.g. surrogate vs. full FEA on a simple structure)?

I want to do proper FEA on a Commodore 64!

I want to get FEA working on the Commodore 64. It already has Giga-CAD which can export files in various formats. And there are also fortran and c-compilers for it. But can it handle meshing and solving a simple cantilever beam with say a hundred 2d quad elements?

Were there any command line C/Fortran codes that could mesh a 2D IGES/STEP file back in the 80s? I know gmsh can do this, but it was started late 90s. Wondering what people used in the 80s? This will be my first hurdle to solve.

I know there are BASIC program that you can type in to do 1D kind of analysis. But I want this running in machine language for 2D and generate the color contour plots..

FEA of the BRAIN: sharing a content

I have a small YouTube channel called "The Simulationer" where I discuss the applications of FEA. I recently made a video about how FEA is used to simulate the human brain. just sharing it below. I want to know if this kind of content is appealing to people here. happy to hear anyone's thoughts! thanks for reading
