Although I have been reading about AI on Lesswrong for a year or two I have not installed or used any AI tools until now. I do not know why but something in this post encouraged me to do so yesterday.
As background to the reason for posting my comment, I am a vehicle dynamics engineer and spend a lot of my time tuning the ride and handling of all types of vehicles.
My prompts to Claude may be simplistic or unnecessarily polite but i am dipping my toes in the AI ocean. To say that I am impressed is an understatement. To those in the AI sector this is probably nothing of any significance but for me this is a game changing experience. The ease at which I can communicate with Claude is something that I am still absorbing….
Thanks for the posts (and your many many others).

Good morning Claude, I would like you to help me create a Hydraulic damper modelling capability in Excel. Taking this one step at a time. What information do you need from me about the damper dimensions and type?

Good morning. To help you create a hydraulic damper modeling capability in Excel, I’ll need several key pieces of information about the damper. Let’s start with the basics:
1. Damper type: Is it a monotube or twin-tube damper?
2. Dimensions: - Piston diameter - Rod diameter - Stroke length - Overall length (compressed and extended)
3. Fluid properties: - Type of hydraulic fluid used - Fluid viscosity at operating temperature
4. Valving information: - Type of valves (e.g., shim stack, orifice, or combination) - Number and size of orifices (if applicable) - Shim stack configuration (if applicable)
5. Operating conditions: - Expected velocity range - Operating temperature range
6. Any specific performance requirements or characteristics you’re aiming for?
Once you provide this information, we can start building the model step by step. Is there any particular aspect of the damper’s behavior you’re most interested in modeling?
