Is Computer Crash Simulation Post A Virus?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a post titled "Computer Crash Simulation" that raised concerns about potential virus risks. Users expressed caution, with one member stating they hadn't clicked on the link to avoid any issues. Another user confirmed the original post lacked a link, leading to suspicions about its legitimacy. Upon receiving a private message with the link, it was identified as a legitimate commercial website, but due to the poster being a newcomer, it was deemed spam. Ultimately, the thread was deleted for being poorly formed, clarifying that the software was intended for car crash simulation, not computer crashes.

I see the thread:

https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=568403

But I don't see any link in it. Is there a link that I'm missing, or did the OP just forget to include a link? It's a suspicious first post, but without a link, it seems okay. I may delete it as a poorly-formed thread starter and ask the OP to try again...
 
Update -- I was PM'ed the link and it's a legit commercial website from the looks of it. But from a 1-post newbie to the PF, it's considered spam. I'm deleting the other thread.

Thanks for the heads-up.
 
Note: it was not a software to crash PC, but a software to simulate car crash on PC.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below.

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
