STATUS: VALIDATED · PIPELINE: CFD RAY TRACE · REV: A1
Ray-Casting Workflow for Aerodynamic Validation
Layered model processing, matrix normalization, ray simulation, and heatmap visualization of aerodynamic properties.
Stage 1: Model Processing
Import STL → subdivide → normalize surface → save frame buffers per layer.
Stage 2: Raycasting
Generate rays per frame buffer → calculate angular inertia, velocity, stickage, boundary layer, energy loss.
Stage 3: Calculations
Combine ray & frame buffer matrices → derive drag coefficients, downforce, and surface interactions.
Stage 4: Visualization
Produce layer-by-layer heatmaps for pressure, airflow, and drag.

BMEP Estimation Workflow
Break mean effective pressure (BMEP) analysis to validate engine simulation outputs against measured torque and pressure traces.
Stage 1: Data Acquisition
Capture cylinder pressure traces → measure crank angle → import into analysis framework.
Stage 2: Pressure Integration
Integrate instantaneous pressures → calculate work per stroke → derive mean effective pressure.
Stage 3: Validation
Compare simulated vs. measured BMEP → adjust models for friction, heat loss, and volumetric efficiency.
STATUS: EXPERIMENTAL · PIPELINE: WATERFALL ENCODER · REV: X0.3
Waterfall Compression Workflow
High-efficiency data compression for simulation and experimental results using 3D/4D voxel segmentation and entropy-based encoding.
Stage 1: Voxelization
Convert data stream to 3D voxel grid → normalize coordinates → identify low-entropy sectors.
Stage 2: Compression
Apply stacked entropy compression → mark compressed blocks → generate `.mo` or `.waterfall` output.
Stage 3: Decompression & Validation
Read markers → reconstruct original data → verify checksum and fidelity.

Our Philosophy
Engineering is a closed-loop process: design, build, break, analyze, and repeat. Each failure generates critical data, forcing us to confront real-world constraints and iterate on solutions. At Sanchez Labs, failure is data, and data is king.
- Multidisciplinary evaluation of performance, manufacturability, and feasibility
- Iterative testing with a focus on real-world feedback
- Data-driven improvement across mechanical, thermal, and aerodynamic domains
We believe that simulation is only as good as its validation. Our approach blends hypothesis-driven testing, iterative refinement, and cross-domain verification to ensure reliability and uncover hidden failure modes.
- Challenge assumptions with empirical data
- Prioritize nonlinear and coupled-domain effects
- Integrate multi-scale feedback for continuous model improvement
