CFD-driven design generation/optimization

Hello,
I posted this in the FloWorks forum but noticed there's way more activity in the Ansys-related forums so forgive my crosspost. I saw a demonstration of Vanderplaats' Genesis software where the specific needs, materials, and constraints of a part were inputted, and the software then generated a model. The software optimized the shape to the specified criteria. Is this possible with any CFD-related software? If so, which? I'm designing a simple elbow for airflow to pass through two known flanges fixed in space and dimension. I am looking to optimize this elbow by having software tell me the geometry between the two flanges rather than have me take SWAG's over and over as I test them via CFD and crudely hone in on a design. Thanks in advance for any help! BP |

Bill,
We have been actively developing user-friendly CFD-based design optimization software and anticipate having prototype software out soon. If you are interested in participating as a potential alpha tester of the software, let me encourage to sign up by taking The CFD Pain Survey, found at www.o-ptimal.com. We'd love to have your and others direct input during our current software development cycle. Regards, Greg |
