CD-adapco, the leading provider of CAD-embedded flow simulation solutions at PLM World


 London, 27th April 2005.

CD-adapco, the leading provider of CAD-embedded flow simulation solutions is pleased to be present at the 2005 PLM World Conference at the Wyndham Anatole, Dallas, TX, May 2-6, 2005. The show will bring together the PLM World community for insight into business-building strategy to meet the challenges of the future. During the conference, representatives from CD-adapco will be available at Stand XXX to discuss CD-adapco’s “Enterprise-wide solution” in particular focusing on STAR-NX, the STAR-CCM+ Box Set and Surface Wrapping.

STAR-NX: The fastest route from Unigraphics NX and Unigraphics 18 to a CFD solution. Embedded in the Unigraphics NX environment, the CD-adapco solver ensures that the CFD Solution becomes an integral part of the CAD model. No other approach will get you from a Unigraphics NX model to an accurate CFD solution more quickly or reliably.

STAR-CAD Series: CAD-embedded Design-centric CFD. The release of the STAR –CCM+ box set, the world's first fully integrated process for polyhedral CFD was announced by CD-adapco in March. The first official release of the STAR-CCM+ Box Set combines CD-adapco's technology leading STAR-CCM+ solver with STAR-Design, which is the world's first commercially available polyhedral mesher.

CD-adapco President Steve MacDonald is confident that "Tetrahedra - as well as the CFD codes which continue to rely on them - are doomed to become a thing of the past".

Surface Wrapping; CD-adapco's unique surface wrapping capability is designed to make painful surface preparation a thing of the past. Before the advent of surface wrapping, repairing CAD was the biggest single bottleneck in the mesh generation’s process.

At the click of a button the surface wrapper will:

• detect leaks
• close holes and gaps
• join disconnected surfaces
• remove interior surfaces
• merge overlapping surfaces

guarantee a manifold closed surface - first time, every time

Originally developed for underhood modeling - involving complex assemblies of hundreds of overlapping CAD parts - surface wrapping is useful in any situation where your CAD is too big, too complex or too “dirty” to mesh effectively. By removing the critical bottleneck of manual surface repair, the total time to simulation can be reduced by days or even weeks.
