CD-adapco is pleased to announce that the North American STAR American Conferences 2006 will take place at the Sheraton Detroit Novi (May 22-23, 2006) and in the San Diego, CA area (May 24th).

The conference will be a combination of presentations and workshops given by clients and key CD-adapco employees to provide invaluable knowledge and communicate future developments to the CFD community. The latest features and developments of CD-adapco's Full Spectrum CAE Software and Solutions will be presented, with special focus on:

* STAR-CD V4

* STAR-CCM+ (the new empowered computational continuum mechanics code with unique benefits in terms of meshing speed and robustness, solving accuracy, quicker turnaround time and multiphysics capabilities)

* The STAR-CAD Series (a set of CAD-embedded CFD products capable of performing simple flow and heat transfer simulations for design engineers who do not require the full (complex-physics) functionality of our other solvers) and STAR-CAD Gateways products.

Delegates will get the opportunity to meet with employees of CD-adapco and fellow CFD users and to hear presentations given by industrial clients about real world CFD applications. The conference will also be supported by an exhibition of our hardware and software partners. This invitation extends to anyone in the CFD community or other interested parties, not just existing users of CD-adapco products.

To submit a paper for next year’s conference, please submit a 100-200 word abstract to rachel.gordon@us.cd-adapco.com by February 1, 2006.
