CONFERENCEESI’S ADVANCED CFD OFFER MULTI-PHYSICS & MULTIDISCIPLINARY SOLUTION FOR WORLD PROBLEMS
28 July 2007 - ESI Group
| ESI Group (ESIN FR0004110310) the technology leader in the field of advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics, announces the release of V2007 of CFD products. ESI's Advanced CFD solutions include CFD-ACE+ for multidisciplinary and multi-physics simulation, CFD-FASTRAN for aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic simulation, and CFD-CAD alyze r for CAD integrated CFD simulation. |
Richard Thoms , CFD Product Manager says “The new physics in Version 2007 will strengthen our multiphysics capability and each new feature in Version 2007 is serially tested and validated to offer robust and reliable solution for our customers across the board. He continues “With the resounding positive feedback from our users in semiconductor, automotive, aerospace, fuel cell, MEMS and microfluidics industry, I am confident that Version 2007 will offer great business value to our customers.” Dr Ron Cresswell, Principle Scientist, James Hardie Research Pty Ltd, Sydney , Australia declares that “The 2007 release of the software is yet another landmark of ESI Group which shows the benefits of listening to the needs of their customers. Many improvements in the pre-processor, CFD-GEOM, have simplified the interface without sacrificing the power of the geometric modeling and meshing tools. New capabilities in the solver continue to keep ESI Group at the forefront of technology, and show that they are continually striving to provide tools to tackle the issues. In others words, when you can make the difficult jobs seem easy, the impossible becomes possible. ESI Group provides tools that do just that.” CFD-ACE+ is the best-in-class design and analysis software for simulating complex plasma processes that represent a wide range of challenges for plasma engineers. CFD-ACE+ 2007 provides fast and accurate CFD predictions for such processes as wafer deposition and arc discharge plasma applications. CFD-ACE+ cavitation module is highly effective in simulating the deleterious phenomenon of cavitation that affects the performance of pumps. With the addition of the aeration model, pump manufacturers can increase pump efficiency by precisely simulating the effects of aerated gases in liquids during the cavitation process. Parallelization of CFD-FASTRAN is made robust and easier in the new release. CFD-FASTRAN users can now run parallel procedure through automatic set-up and control of the run environment and achieve faster turnaround of results. A key highlight of the new release is the customization of CFD-CAD alyzer for regional users. It is now available in localized languages such as Chinese and Japanese. CFD-CAD alyzer now supports Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Pro/Engineer Wildfire, and IronCAD with direct plug-ins as well as any other CAD system that can output ACIS SAT files. Both methods allow users to perform simulation based design directly on their CAD models without hurdles. ESI Group's CFD pre-/post-processor has been greatly improved in both functionality and ease of use. The key new features include:
Capability to handle trimming loops in CFD-GEOM for simplification of unstructured grid generation
Thin wall for thermal shield capability in CFD-VisCART for underhood cooling application
Clip the ranges of cutting planes capability in CFD-VIEW for calculation and visualization of user specified range of data

About: ESI Group
ESI Group is the world leading software editor for the numerical simulation of prototype and manufacturing process engineering in applied mechanics. The key to ESI Group's success is the use of realistic material physics, providing "as good as real" virtual solutions, in order to replace the lengthy trial and error processes on real prototypes.ESI Group has developed an entire suite of coherent industry-oriented applications to realistically simulate a product's behavior during testing, to fine tune the manufacturing processes in synergy with the desired product performance, and to evaluate the environment's impact on product usage. ESI Group's product portfolio, which has been industrially validated and combined in multi-trade value chains, represents a unique collaborative, virtual engineering solution, known as the Virtual Try-Out Space (VTOS), enabling a continuous improvement on the virtual prototype. By drastically reducing costs and development lead times, VTOS solutions offer major competitive advantages by progressively eliminating the need for physical prototypes. A sustained growth Total consolidated revenue for fiscal year 2003, ending January 31st 2004, increased by 15% in real terms and 22% at constant exchange rates, compared to the previous year reaching 49 million euro. The software activity remained stable with 73% from licenses and 27% from services. The major acquisitions made in 2002 and 2003 accounted for 15% of revenue growth and took part in the strengthening of the Group's position on the American market. As in previous years, ESI Group maintained a strong international presence with 50% of turnover generated outside Europe and 79% of revenue outside. Listed on the Nouveau Marché of Euronext Paris, ESI Group employs almost 500 high-level specialists worldwide.
ESI Group and its global network of agents provide sales and technical support to customers in more than 30 countries. A key investment area: Research and Development ESI Group is making substantial R&D efforts and forms partnerships with leading academic and research laboratories in order to offer state-of-the-art solutions. ESI Group also provides high value-added services, worldwide through its subsidiaries located in Europe, Asia and Americas. Consulting projects with strategic industrial partners as well as European R&D contracts exemplify ESI Group's strong engineering knowledge and scientific expertise. |
