  • Webinar: Applying CFD Analysis to Your Design with Orca3D Marine CFD

    Webinar Date and Time: Thursday, February 21st, 9:00 AM EST (14:00UTC)  Click here to register

    In the past, marine design with CFD was expensive, required the expertise of a specialist, and wasn’t practical on ordinary engineering computers. Now Orca3D Marine CFD has changed all of that, coupling the power and ease-of-use of Rhino, Orca3D, and Simerics MP with specially designed templates to allow naval architects to easily and affordably analyze the hydrodynamic performance of displacement and planing hull designs with confidence in the results. Both monohulls and multihulls can be explored, and the effects of local design features including steps, spray rails, lifting strakes, flaps, trim tabs, foils, and other appendages can be investigated with high fidelity. With Orca3D Marine CFD, it takes just minutes to set up and start an analysis, and it is practical to run on ordinary engineering laptops or desktops.

    Previous webinars have presented the process of going from a hull model in Rhino/Orca3D to a completed CFD analysis (view the recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O40EqkyuQCk&feature=youtu.be). This next webinar will begin with a brief overview of that process and a presentation of benchmarks, as well as highlighting recent functionality and speed improvements to the software. Then we will move on to focus on how CFD can be used not just to analyze a design, but also improve it. Presenters will include our experts as well as a customer who will discuss his real-world experience with Orca3D Marine CFD. After a Q&A session, we will present the very affordable pricing options, and the steps to follow to get a free 30-day evaluation of the software, including technical support.

    To register, please click here. The webinar will be recorded, and if you are registered you will receive a link to the recording, even if you are unable to attend.

  • CFturbo GmbH Partners with Simerics, Inc. to Announce CFturbo SMP Software

    CFturbo SMP simulation software empowers Turbomachinery engineers to compute performance maps for pumps, blowers, fans, compressors and turbines: fast, accurate, cost effective and easy-to-use.

     

    As the design requirements for Turbomachinery becomes more demanding, CFturbo and Simerics have combined Turbomachinery design software with CFD-simulation software into one solution, CFturbo SMP.  This allows users to design Turbomachinery components easily, and to simulate designs using CFD software results to improve turbomachine performance, power and efficiency. CFturbo SMP Software also provides CFD engineers with the ability to start with a design point or with an existing geometry to design and simulate turbomachines such as pumps, blowers, compressors and turbines for their processes and products.

    By working together, Simerics, Inc. and CFturbo GmbH have enabled users to significantly reduce the time to get critical CFD results in the market for Turbomachinery design and simulation.

     

    “Our development with CFturbo has enabled engineers to easily model and change impellers, stators and volutes in minutes with associative CFD results,” said Rich Moore, Vice President Strategy, OEMs, Partners, Simerics, Inc.  “With CFturbo SMP we have made the combination of designing Turbomachinery and using CFD a simple and straight forward process at an affordable price.”

     

    “We have added CFturbo software with Simerics MP to allow engineers to take advantage of a much needed, improved workflow for fast, accurate, cost-effective and user-friendly solution for Turbomachinery design and simulation. With CFturbo SMP customers get realistic results that compared accurately with multiple field tests on various types of turbomachines providing users with the confidence to design excellent geometries” said Ralph Peter Mueller, Managing Director of CFturbo GmbH and President of CFturbo, Inc.

  • What 5 Million Engineers Can’t See

    What if all 5 million engineers in the world couldn’t see? Today 7.5 billion people can’t see air, the inside of a bubble, heat, nitrogen, oxygen, pressure, pressure forces, and water (because it’s usually in a pipe or in a pump or under the earth or seeping into your house). That’s right, 7.5 billion people can’t see what makes up half of the world. There are many other “Fluids” that we can’t see, think of them as un-seeable fluids. Who wants to see what you can’t see? The world’s population does and 5 million Engineers do for sure. If Engineers make Digital Fluids, then others will be able to see what they haven’t been able to see!

    read more +

    How can we make the ability to see Digital Fluids push-button? Microsoft came up with one of the best strategies ever, “A Personal Computer for Every Home”. For Digital Fluids we need a “Human Computer for Every Person” strategy to turn on what the world can’t see. Creo Parametric engineers can now see Digital Fluids in each design by using Creo Flow Analysis and then output the animated streamlines from those designs to Augmented Reality using Vuforia Studio.These Digital Fluids can now be seen and shared with others. If Engineers create Digital Fluids and share them, they are the main source and basis in the evolution of “A Human Computer for Every Person”.

    Next June in Boston at LiveWorx19 you will get the opportunity to see the un-seeable! PTC customers will share how their Engineers have completely defined their products by adding Digital Fluids and Augmented Reality to their Designs. This is defined as Digital Models, plus Digital Fluids, plus Augmented Reality, plus the Actual Product = COMPLETE PRODUCT (like the photographs of the airplane and snowmobile above from LiveWorx 18). In addition to Engineers, people in Preventative Maintenance and Installation Management will be interested in the COMPLETE PRODUCT as well. LiveWorx is becoming “the Mecca” for Engineers and Executives to see what you can’t see so others can see and enjoy the benefits of Digital Fluids. If more people see Digital Fluids we believe a “Human Computer for Every Person” is on the way!

     

    Simerics hopes to see you at LiveWorx19 where you’ll see Digital Fluids via Augmented Reality and you’ll be able to say you were there to see what others couldn’t. Remember a “Human Computer for Every Person” starts with automating what you can’t see and seeing what you can’t—half of your product and half of the world!
