New Software: ICEM Announces Cart3D Flow Solver
Posted Mon August 12, 2002 @04:53PM
 Print version Email story Tweet story
News ICEM CFD, a subsidiary of ANSYS, has announced that they will release a commercial version of CART3D. ICEM recently acquired distribution rights to the NASA Ames CART3D program for the aerospace, automotive, turbo machinery, electronics/electromagnetics and process industries.

Cart3D is a high-fidelity inviscid analysis package for conceptual and preliminary aerodynamic design. The program uses adaptively refined Cartesian grids to discretize the space surrounding a geometry and cuts the geometry out of the set of "cut-cells" which actually intersect the boundary.

The CART3D program was recently named "Software of the Year" by NASA.
