User conference seeks technical papers
Preparations are under way for the 2004 Ansys Users Conference and Exhibition to be held from 24th to 26th May 2004 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
This is the largest parallel licence add-on ever completed in the Korean shipbuilding industry.
SHI, one of the world's largest shipbuilding companies, investigated CFD analysis solutions to increase their ship design quality and fluid dynamic technology with the goal of reducing the design time and the cost of new products.
The investigating team felt that Ansys technology showed the best results.
The team was also satisfied with the technical support and customer care provided by ATES.
"Shipbuilders must respond quickly to changing customer requirements".
"In addition, increasing trade with China has seen demand increase for both high-speed and larger vessels".
"To satisfy owners' requirements quickly, SHI is investing heavily in advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) solutions, including Ansys".
"Many commercial CFD codes were tested, but Ansys showed the best results and we are satisfied with the technical support and customer care provided by ATES", said CB Hong, a Research Engineer at SHI's R and D centre.
"As CFD software has matured, SHI believes that ship design based on CFD simulation is one of the most important steps to ensure that a design meets the customer's requirements for design and quality".
BY Kim, Sales Manager for ATES said "We intend to provide SHI with generous high-quality support to ensure that SHI gets the very best out of its software from Ansys and to further increase usage of this technology with SHI".
"Our company has a long history of providing engineering simulation solutions in South Korea".
