Application: The AeroGust Project - Aeroelastic Gust Modelling

Posted Tue July 18, 2017 @06:26AM

A key element in the design of an aircraft is to make sure it can cope with the stresses arising from the impact of strong winds on the plane’s structure. Calculating the way the aircraft reacts to gusts and turbulences is essential knowledge before a plane can be built.

Currently most of the data concerning gusts is gathered during expensive wind tunnel experiments and rather late in the design process, when design options have already been narrowed down a lot.

Grid Generation: Efficient Meshing for MultiScale CFD Simulation

Posted Wed July 12, 2017 @11:00AM

Multi scale meshing for a traditional structured grid generator is a daunting task. The approach causes the fineness of the refined grids near the smaller geometric features to propagate into the field, thereby unnecessarily increasing the cell count, without bringing any practical computational benefit. In fact, it increases the computational time and also unnecessarily demands larger computational resources.

Business: ANSYS Acquires Computational Engineering International

Posted Tue July 11, 2017 @09:53PM

ANSYS, the global leader and innovator of engineering simulation software, announced today that it has acquired Computational Engineering International, Inc. (CEI), the developer of a suite of products that helps engineers and scientists analyze, visualize and communicate simulation data. Terms of the deal, which closed earlier this month, were not disclosed.

The merger of the physical and digital worlds is resulting in products that were once unimaginable, and companies are faced with an overwhelming number of design decisions compared to previous product generations. That is something only engineering simulation can feasibly provide in a timely and cost-effective fashion.
