Seminars reveal more about CFD
Fluent is to hold two one-day seminars intended for anyone who is new to computational fluid dynamics and/or those who would like to learn more about the application of CFD.
Currently, engineering analysis of stress and thermal effects in structures is typically performed in isolation from the analysis of fluid flow phenomena, despite the impact of flow-induced forces and heat transfer on a structure and the impact of a structure on the fluid.
The Fluent-Abaqus initiative will provide engineers with easy-to-use tools that will take into account these important coupling effects including sophisticated simulation of nonlinear structural responses.
The cosimulation capability is expected to address applications such as fan blade flutter, microfluidics, in-vivo vascular flows and flow-induced vibrations in structures and equipment, as well as many consumer goods design and packaging applications.
"Implementation of cosimulation using Fluent and Abaqus will provide our customers with an outstanding coupled fluid-structure solution", notes Paul Bemis, Fluent's VP of Product Management.
"Many of our customers' most challenging design problems require assessment of interactions between fluid and structure.
By teaming with Abaqus we will provide a solution based on industry-leading best-in-class technologies".
"Abaqus is extremely pleased to be working closely with Fluent, who are a recognised leader in CFD", notes Ken Short, VP of Marketing at Abaqus.
"Our joint customers need robust, reliable solutions to real world simulation challenges.
This initiative is a significant step toward a practical and useable FSI capability from two of the most respected solution providers in the software industry".
