Fluid dynamics software improves collaboration

A CD-adapco product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 16, 2007

CD-adapco has released a coupled-analysis capability for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) utilising Star-CD, its computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, and Abaqus.

CD-adapco has released a coupled-analysis capability for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) utilising Star-CD, its computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, and Abaqus, from the Simulia brand of Dassault Systemes.

The bi-directional coupling leverages a strong partnership with Dassault Systemes and the independent, open solution for the coupling - MpCCI software from Fraunhofer SCAI - to enable Star-CD and Abaqus to work together to solve a wide range of important FSI problems.

"Multiphysics simulation such as FSI is increasingly important", says Ken Short, VP of Strategy and Marketing at Simulia.

"It allows engineers to replicate and predict realistic physical behaviour of complex systems where the interactions of fluid and structural responses are significant".

"Our customers will benefit tremendously from our open platform approach which enables them to easily integrate, fully supported best-in-class technology".

"This new solution provides the most powerful FSI technology available on the market", states Dennis Nagy, VP of Marketing and Business Development at CD-adapco.

"Companies using our coupled solution will dramatically improve collaboration between fluid dynamics engineers and structural engineers".

"This will enable them to gain a greater understanding of system behaviour and a competitive edge in delivering innovative inventions and products to market".

The new offering allows manufacturers and researchers in automotive, aerospace, off-shore, biomedical, consumer, and process industries to study the influence of fluid flow-induced forces and heat transfer on structural integrity as well as the impact of nonlinear material response on fluid flow behaviour.

This functionality allows them to evaluate a broad range of conditions, such as flow-induced vibrations in structures, in-vivo vascular flows, valve dynamics, tyre aquaplaning, and fluid-structure applications in consumer goods and packaging.
