There will be presentations from both Fluent and a guest industry speaker, covering case studies and the latest software features, as well as an informal question and answer session.

Fluent's CFD airflow modelling software is a powerful design tool. Its ability to simulate and display fluid flows for a variety of design scenarios has proved important in the design of some of the most high-profile building projects of recent years, including the 30 St. Mary Axe office building in London for Swiss Re and Birmingham's new Bullring retail development.

EFD.Pro is a fully integrated fluid flow and heat transfer simulation product for Pro/ENGINEER. The seamless interface enables users to create designs with Pro/ENGINEER and then immediately analyze and optimize them – without translating any data and within the familiar Pro/ENGINEER environment. The tight integration between the products combined with the associative nature of Pro/ENGINEER makes it easy to use the analytical results to quickly iterate and optimize the design.

The intention of the Organizing Committee for SIMDI05 is to gather all relevant actors in the Simulation Industry in the Nordic countries:

Engineers and Scientific users

At SIMDI 2005 you will find all the relevant technologies for your simulation work and their providers, also you will be able to show your competence and references.

Decision makers for HPC investments

Meet providers of leading edge technical solutions for your HPC environment.

Contractors

Explain your company's needs regarding technical simulation and get in contact with Consultants and ISV and HPC providers.

Academics

Advertise your expertise and your research group activities for the Nordic industry.

For more information, see the SIMDI05 homepage.

For data reduction, file conversion and meshing, MAGNA STEYR uses the very new and, from MAGNA’s point of view, brilliant tool Spider. Spider is one of the first meshers which works fully automatically and is massively parallel.

MAGNA STEYR uses AVL-SWIFT for the flow simulation and we couple the radiator to the 1D cooling system tool KULI.

A full engine compartment flow simulation including external aerodynamics took five to seven weeks in 2003, today, thanks to Spider, we are able to perform these kind of simulations within one to two weeks.
