Version 4.0 of my NASA parametric aerospace finite element mesh generator code "Loft" has been released. It can be downloaded for free from software.nasa.gov/software/LAR... . The manual describing the program and the new features is available at: ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citation... .

I will be teaching more Fiore classes this spring/summer. I have dagger play classes at Atlantian University on June 14 and at Pennsic on July 31 and Aug 1. I will also have a class on creating SCA content for YouTube at University. Please join me if you're interested.

My SCA regalia as a Master of Defense also features the badges of the Orders of the Laurel and the Pelican. The last badge is a lynx with a compass that Fiore uses to represent the swordsman virtue of prudence or wisdom.

I'll be practicing my Feb 1 University class during Tir-y-Don's Jan 23 A&S meeting (online) at 7pm. We will be using the normal meeting Google meet link. PM or email me if you want to join and help me polish the class before the real presentation.

It is time to turn our attention to the next Atlantian SCA event, University, which is online-only on Feb 1 and 2. My first class is part 2 of my series on Fiore's dagger plays. The second is a class on creating SCA content for YouTube. Sign up in advance: university.atlantia.sca.org/catalog.php

I added five new videos to www.youtube.com/@learnfiore describing dagger and longsword techniques from Fiore's 1409 manual. #hma #sca #longsword #longswordfencing

Loft, a automated aerospace finite element mesh generator code, that I wrote at NASA is now available for free download. In addition to finite element output files, it will also write STL files for 3D printing. Software: software.nasa.gov/software/LAR... Manual: ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20...
