You will learn the best approaches to many common meshing challenges and become familiar with the use of Gridgen. Come to Gridgen Training to learn about the latest features you can use to make your job easier. If you are not currently a user and are considering licensing Gridgen, come to training to see for yourself how Gridgen can accelerate your projects.

MAYA Heat Transfer Technologies helps companies keep a competitive edge, by offering software solutions that are not only at the forefront of technology, but also form part of an integrated virtual product development environment. Simmetrix Inc.’s meshing will help enable MAYA Heat Transfer to develop leading edge software for thermal, and fluid flow analyses.

The CAST 2 project will see the development of more advanced engineering tools such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Aero Acoustics (CAA). These types of tools hold the key to more environmentally sound transport by helping to maximise the aerodynamic properties of new vehicle designs.

This seminar will include:

• Step-by-step instruction showing how to carry out a morpher based shape optimization exercise for CFD application
• Presentation by industry experts
• Demonstration of several real-life shape optimization scenarios involving CFD applications
• Sponsored by leaders in the field of morphing/parameterization, optimization, and CFD analysis

The training course will be held on August 12, 2005, 9:00 am-5:30 pm. The class is offered as a third day of training following Reaction Design's introductory two day training on using CHEMKIN to solve reacting flow problems involving detailed kinetic mechanisms. Experienced CHEMKIN users may elect to sign up for only the FLUENT/KINetics portion of the course if they are already familiar with the material covered in the first two days of the course.

Version 6.0 will offer new physical models that enable analysis of even more complicated designs, automatic interfaces to popular Finite Element Modeling (FEM) programs as well as a new postprocessor for analysis results visualization.
