New York and London, November 3, 2005: CD-adapco and ConnectPress are proud to announce CD-adapco’s Gold Sponsorship of the Pro/ENGINEER Community.

CD-adapco has chosen to become a Gold Sponsor to let Community members know how it can help them empower their design process. CD-adapco is committed to offering solutions that speed product development, cut costs and improve product design. These clear objectives are achieved with the CAD-embedded upfront flow and thermal simulation tool, STAR-Pro/E, integrated within Pro/ENGINEER.

With STAR-Pro/E, CD-adapco matches unparalleled user productivity. This highly intuitive approach to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) means that even designers and project engineers lacking experience in traditional CFD analyses are able to obtain industrial strength flow simulation results.

Because of its integration with Pro/ENGINEER, design engineers are enabled to evaluate “what-if” design scenarios quickly and easily. Design changes are reflected in the CFD solution immediately. Solutions are updated at the click of a button without additional user intervention and are stored within the model, accessible to downstream users.

Based on the technology behind the industry leading CFD software from CD-adapco, STAR-Pro/E is a gateway to the most comprehensive flow simulation tools in the world. The model settings like the boundary conditions are stored within the CAD files, making them readily accessible and traceable throughout the design process.

STAR-Pro/E provides design engineers with more accurate results faster than others. It uses CD-adapco’s unique and revolutionary polyhedral meshing technology, proven to be up to 10 times faster than traditional tetrahedral meshing techniques and delivering faster, more accurate solutions, at a fraction of the computational expense. STAR-Pro/E creates meshes specifically designed for flow simulation.

CD-adapco’s Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Dennis Nagy, is confident that STAR-Pro/E is ahead of the competition. “Pro/ENGINEER-embedded CFD has been a proven reality from CD-adapco for over two years”, he said. “Using STAR-Pro/E our customers have already experienced its competitive advantages and compelling benefits. CD-adapco supplies CFD software to over 5000 users worldwide, making us a leader in the global CFD market.”

“We welcome CD-adapco’s presence in the Pro/ENGINEER Community” says Alexandra Pratt, ConnectPress’ Publisher and Chief Community Advocate. “Companies who choose to join at the Gold Sponsorship level make a strong commitment to the technical, editorial and promotional support of Pro/ENGINEER users. CD-adapco’s participation shows how dedicated they are to the Pro/ENGINEER user community. We look forward to CD-adapco’s essential and ongoing contributions.”
