This new version of CFdesign v8.0 provides a fully parametric fluid flow and heat transfer simulation solution driven and controlled by native Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 assemblies, allowing mechanical design engineers to make faster, smarter decisions in a collaborative environment before the physical test phase.

In the Desktop Engineering article Perfect Flight At Last, Dr. Andrew Johnson of the AHPCRC describes how moving mesh CFD techniques offer new ways to model complex fluid-structure interactions such as a hummingbird’s hovering flight.

In early 2005, we began working with the new parallel programming language Unified Parallel C (UPC) with the goal of building new types of codes that would be difficult or impossible to implement using MPI. We quickly recognized that UPC would allow us to create a new type of CFD code that supported much more complex simulations, including dynamic mesh methods.

Join Donald H. Brown, leading industry analysts from CPDA, key industry players, and front-line implementation experts as they discuss their experiences in addressing strategic PLM topics. Find out about their successes in making technology work by linking it across the whole product lifecycle, the obstacles they encountered on the way, and how they developed strategies to overcome them.

Fluent Sweden AB will host a Turbulence Workshop intended for CFD engineers who face turbulent flows in their daily routine and are looking for efficient ways of ensuring reliable results. The workshop will be held June 7-9, 2006 in Gothenburg.

"Today’s financial investment along with the on-going strategic support of GEF provides Blue Ridge Numerics the working capital and resources necessary to fully realize our business mission," stated Blue Ridge president, Ed Williams. "Today we are better positioned to accelerate the rate of innovation to benefit our customers and to capitalize on future opportunities such as acquisitions and a public offering."

"EnSight Lite represents the most advanced visualization functionality ever offered at this price point," says Darin McKinnis, CEI's vice president of marketing and sales. "It offers the powerful core visualization features used by the world's leading engineering and scientific organizations, and provides an easy migration path to other products in the EnSight family."
