OpenFOAM Briefing - Thursday, November 4, 2010 - Wichita, KS

At ESI, we understand the constant pressure aerospace OEMs 
and suppliers face to reduce development cost while 
maintaining a very high level of engineering innovation.  
In this environment, open source solutions appear to be 
very attractive propositions, providing the organization 
access to a virtually unlimited number of seats thus 
allowing engineers to simulate more design variations and 
fostering innovation.  Also, with open source, engineer can 
efficiently customize their simulations as needed with full 
access to the source code.  However, before this transition 
to open source can happen, associated risks need to be 
evaluated and minimized, and issues need to be addressed.  
In particular, one has to carefully consider the quality of 
the results, the overall workflow and associated 
productivity, training, support, legacy data and many other 
factors.

OpenFOAM is a free, open source CFD software package 
offering an extensive range of features to solve anything 
from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, 
turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and 
electromagnetic. It has a large user base across most areas 
of engineering and science, from both commercial and 
academic organizations.  But is it right for you?

The National Institute for Aviation Research, Wichita State 
University and ESI are happy to invite you to a 
complimentary OpenFOAM Briefing during which the ESI 
experts will share with you their knowledge and experience 
of OpenFOAM.  ESI has a global team of CFD consultants who 
have been successfully using OpenFOAM in tens of projects 
over the last four years.  These projects ranged from 
application projects to customized solver coding to 
development of enhanced meshers, GUIs and workflow tools.

All attendees will be entered to win an Apple iPad!
