The CD adapco Group would like to invite you to the following seminar:

Frontier System: a state of the art tool for multidisciplinary design optimisation

Holiday Inn, Hammersmith, London, 9.30 -12.30, November 21st, 2001

FRONTIER is a design optimisation tool, which can be interfaced with STAR-CD and is dedicated to helping our users achieve REDUCED TIME TO MARKET. It achieves this by using genetic algorithm methods to relate "cause and effect" - where "causes" are the set of parameters that define a product or process, and "effects" are the business benefits that result from an optimised design.

More specifically for STAR-CD users, FRONTIER offers the design engineer the possibility of reaching an optimised CAE solution quickly where multiple design variables make "trial and error" optimisation impracticable. For example, Electrolux-Zanussi used FRONTIER coupled with STAR-CD to achieve optimised product performance targets by finding the best compromise between a conflicting set of design parameters associated an insulation and refrigeration system. FRONTIER is written in platform-independent java, and is developed by ESTECO in Trieste and distributed by the CD adapco Group.

Interested? Attend the seminar and learn more from Professor Carlo Poloni from ESTECO and a representative from Electrolux-Zanussi.

The cost of attending the seminar will be £25 per person (ex..VAT).
