Richard Johns, CD-adapco’s Director for the Automotive Sector, is pleased but not surprised. “To have your leadership confirmed in an independent survey is always flattering, but the result comes as no great shock”, he said. “Our aim is not just to be the de facto industry leader, but to have the greatest impact upon the VPD process of our partners.”

The fire simulation with CFD (typically 500'000 to 3'000’000 grid cells) allows to model complex building geometries with escalators above the fire location, balconies or flow phenomena such as jet ventilators to redirect the smoke in a parking garage.

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
