Petrobras uses EnSight Gold to visualize, analyze and communicate CFD simulations of hydrocyclones, the technology employed in the oil industry to classify and perform liquid separation analysis. Petrobras selected EnSight Gold because it quickly and easily handles multiple results files with extensive transient analyses from ANSYS CFX-10 software.

COSMOSFloWorks analysis enables engineers to simulate and study the flows of liquids, gasses, and heat through their designs before they commit to building expensive physical prototypes. By simulating the fluid flows, designers can determine whether gasses circulate through a machine as planned, whether heat flows through a product quickly enough to prevent overheating, or whether a product exhibits the expected aerodynamic qualities. If COSMOSFloWorks analysis reveals a problem, designers can modify their design and run more COSMOSFloWorks analysis to determine if it works, rather than manufacturing a new prototype to test each iteration.

Also new in V2.0 will be the ability to handle transient flow, which augments the software's the existing capabilities to test for standard JEDEC forced, free convection, slots as well as custom setups. CoolitPCB also reports component junction temperature, case temperature, as well as detailed 3D airflow and temperature distribution.

The STAR-CD simulation software is designed for engineers and researchers working in the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Extending support to PathScale InfiniPath enables STAR-CD users to take full advantage of the industry's highest performing cluster interconnect, allowing them to perform larger, more complex CFD simulations while maximizing their return on investment in high-performance computing.

Deeper levels of analysis often reveal the ‘root cause’ of problems so you can optimize the design to get more accurate answers to your engineering queries, turnaround product designs in less time, and ultimately win the competitive advantage. All classes are held at the Fluent training center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
