CFD Web Seminar ‘Simulating and Optimizing Reaction Forces’

Jan 27, 2010 - 2:00 PM - 2:45 PM US/Eastern

The ability to recognize and predict reactive forces such as pressure, torque and aerodynamic coefficients can be critical for a products’ stability, reliability, its usability and in many cases its safety. Being able to predict, verify and adjust a design in the early stages of development can save a company time and money.

Overview:

This online seminar, brought to you by leading CFD company Mentor Graphics, will demonstrate the advantages of adopting ‘Concurrent CFD’ into your design workflow. Concurrent CFD refers to a powerful simulation technology that resides entirely within a mechanical CAD (MCAD) platform, where it is used concurrently with all the other tools in the normal menu structure.  As a result, you will be able to treat CFD as a routine operation within your preferred CAD system.  Concurrent CFD works because it automates the most onerous CFD steps—the same steps that once required the attention of a trained specialist. In particular these include transferring mechanical geometry to the CFD application, modeling internal cavities if needed, and creating a “mesh.” To illustrate this, the presenter will discuss the complexities surrounding the design of a water pump, analyzing the forces it can create and what this means for the overall finished product. The session will also cover the ease with which "what-if" analyses can be performed by modifying the ‘live’ MCAD geometry. And finally, the simulation results for the modified design will be reviewed.

What You Will Learn:

• How to perform 3D analysis using built-in concurrent CFD
• Visualize results in a virtual 3D environment
• Understand the impact of design changes and the effect it can have on a finished product
• Generate detailed reports automatically in Microsoft Word and Excel

Who Should Attend:

• Design Engineers
• Design Managers
• Mechanical Engineers
• Product Design Managers
