ESI ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF THE 2006 VERSION OF CFD-CADALYZER
05 September 2006 - ESI Group
| ESI Group (ESIN FR0004110310) is pleased to announce the release of the 2006 version of CFD-CADalyzer. CFD-CADalyzer is the perfect tool for both CAD engineers and CFD analysts to perform design level analysis with a simple and intuitive interface. CFD-CADalyzer, a complete package in itself with built-in pre and post-processor, enables the simulation of flow and heat transfer, and allows the comparison of results over a range of varying geometries and operational conditions. |
In pre-processing, specifically mesh building, mesh quality is very important in setting up a complex geometry problem. Now with CFD-CADalyzer 2006 significantly better mesh quality is obtained through suppression of tiny features coupled with intelligent boundary layer meshing. The integrated design environment provided by CADalyzer for the leading CAD packages such as SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, Unigraphics, Inventor, Solid Edge, Mechanical Desktop, leads to faster time to market and improved product quality. CFD-CADalyzer 2006 improves ease of use by eliminating the pitfalls associated with translation between different geometry representations. CFD-CADalyzer V2006 gives comfort to the user reducing design time, and allowing the user to choose the same mouse behaviour and colour schemes as their favourite CAD packages. “CADalyzer 2006 is an excellent analytical tool in our product development process. I am impressed with its seamless integration with native CAD packages like Solidworks, Inventor and Unigraphics. CADalyzer has a major impact on our preprocessing time as it gives a first order estimate in a matter of minutes. CADalyzer takes only about one-fourth of the time as the other preprocessors we have in our facility. CADalyzer quickly eliminates surprises and takes care of all the practical issues in geometry and meshing. CADalyzer is automated, easy to use analytical tool which is fairly well organized.” Dr. Kedar Sangam, Member of Technical Staff, Applied Materials Inc. In CFD-CADalyzer V2006, mathematical functions can be used as an input for boundary condition values in addition to the structural and deformation modeling capabilities of CDF-ACE+ which is available with an additional license. Now with CFD-CADalyzer 2006, users can visualize their post processing results quickly with the one-button click animation feature. Among the new features included in CFD-CADalyzer are strip chart and carpet plot and a larger memory capacity of 3 GB.

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. |
