EnSight Gold is the high performance version of the company's post-processor EnSight. EnSight Gold is designed to take advantage of parallel processing and virtual reality environments, such as CAVEs, RAVEs, and ImmersaDesks.

The new features within EnSight Gold allow users to visualize datasets of a size barely imaginable just a few years ago.

Fuel Cell Multiphysics Course
February 12-13, 2002
Huntsville, AL
This course will discuss the Theory and Solution Strategies for current state-of-the-art modeling and simulation techniques for Fuel Cells and Fuel Reformers. Utilizing relevant examples from the industry, the instructors will demonstrate the value of simulations and discuss the assumptions made, along with their inherent limitations.

Biomedical Seminar
February 6, 2002
Anaheim, CA
This seminar will feature demonstrations of how the CFD-ACE+ software can be applied to biomedical device modeling. Sample cases of hybridization, microdispenser, lab-on-a-chip and system level simulation, as well as parametric simulations of DNA filtration chips will be shown.

The SAE World Congress is the largest OE service, parts and components exhibition in the world. More than 1,000 suppliers and manufacturers, (300+ from outside of North America), special features for OEM personnel, technical tours, executive panels and outstanding networking opportunities make the SAE 2002 World Congress a "can't miss" event for everyone in the automotive industry.

The esIce tool produces an automatically meshed parameterised template, which can be altered for specific engine configurations. The idea is to empower engineers as never before to achieve rapid, accurate CFD analysis of internal combustion engines of all types.

Steve MacDonald, chief executive of the CD adapco Group said: "CFD is entering a new phase. Our clients want technology built into tools that are customised to solve particular engineering problems. Our Expert System tool, esIce, is the fruit of hundreds of man-years experience of engine simulation. This breakthrough will enable engineers quickly to evaluate and optimise new internal combustion engine designs".
