Description

Contents of presentations:

1. Multi-physics calculations
In today's CAE simulations, coupled simulations are increasingly a necessity. One can think of calculations involving both structural and also mecha-tronic aspects as well as flow problems. The recent development of a new Interface (FMI) gives a new interpretation of this. This presentation will give an impression of MSC.Software's vision in this area by means of a number of appealing examples.

2. Coupled Multi Body / Finite Element simulations
The advantage of this coupling is that the much faster Multi Body method (based on rigid bodies) is supplemented with deformable components or elements from a Non-Linear FEM environment. The new possibilities created by recent developments will be shown and discussed.

3. CAE calculations, stand-alone or CAD Embedded ?
A user interface focusing on the typical actions an analyst has to perform with his model without losing precious time in retrieving CAD data will be discussed. A new programme that has already received several awards in a short time will be presented. There will be an opportunity during the break to gain some hands-on experience.

4. CFD calculations based on non-mesh related methods
New CFD codes based on the Lattice-Boltzmann equations have been available for several years. These work from a Lagrangian consideration of the fluids and thus assume a collection of moving particles rather than a Mesh-related description (Eulerian) of the fluid. This approach has the great advantage that setting up the model has become much simpler. The user can almost literally pour or fill the required CAD geometry with the beno¬dient particles, with the code allowing one to apply local refinement. This creates a CFD environment that makes calculations significantly faster and requires less hardware performance than traditional CFD applications
