Why does toast always fall butter‑side‑down? From Ancient Egyptians fire‑drying bread to Roman soldiers dipping “tostum” in wine, humanity has survived on toasted carbs for millennia. But now, armed with Simcenter Amesim, we finally tackle the world’s most urgent breakfast mystery. Will physics redeem your kitchen floor… or confirm the curse of Friday the 13th? Grab your marmalade ... this simulation is about to get crunchy.

Bringing people together through the FMI interface. Whether you’re working on complex simulations or collaborating across teams, FMI offers a powerful means to connect systems, ideas, and people, making it a perfect metaphor for the spirit of the season.

This blog examines how the Galton Board, a classic tool for understanding probability, aids in explaining complex systems, such as dinosaur evolution. By simulating randomness and natural selection, it draws parallels between statistical modeling and real-world biological processes, showcasing how engineering simulation can illuminate patterns in nature and deepen our understanding of evolutionary dynamics.
