  2004 North American CFD Conferences

April 1, 2004

CD-adapco’s CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) User Conferences on May 5-6 in Detroit and May 7 in Los Angeles, will afford opportunities not to be missed for the North American CFD/CAE community.

A combination of presentations and workshops given by clients and employees will provide CFD users with invaluable knowledge and understanding to better meet their needs. Keynote speakers at the Detroit Conference will include clients from Ford Motor Company, General Motors and DaimlerChrysler. Industrial partners such as PNNL, Combustion Science and Engineering, BMA, Sverdrup and Wright-Patterson AFB will also be presenting their successful applications of CD-adapco’s products and services.

Presentations will be given on the latest features and developments of CD-adapco’s CFD/CAE products and services, including the STAR-CD and Comet CFD codes. A special focus will be given on the exciting launch of STAR-CCM+ a next generation CFD code renowned for its ease-of-use. Combining latest numerical algorithms including an advanced pre-conditioned coupled solver and state-of-the-art software coding, the new product brings a new level of accuracy, reliability and flexibility to the CFD engineer.

Emphasis will also be given on providing information on the new CAD-integrated options for STAR-CD and Comet, which are now available integrated into Pro/ENGINEER and SolidWorks, CATIA V5 and Unigraphics-NX. These offer the benefit that they enable users to run a full CFD analysis from within their familiar CAD environment, totally removing the need to learn a new interface. Alternatively, if a CAD model or CAD system is not available, the STAR-Design option provides a Parasolid solid-modeling tool for model-creation offering the same ease of use. All these CAD-integrated options provide fully integrated CFD capability and full associativity with parametric CAD models.

A highlight of the conference will include exhibitions featuring hardware and software partner booths including Acuitiv Software, Pointwise,CEI, SUN Microsystems, ESTECO, ThermoAnalytics, Reaction Design, SGI, LMS, ADT, MSC Software, HP, IBM and Linux NetworX . There will also be demonstration points displaying information about CD-adapco’s latest products and services, as well as live software demonstrations.

Steve MacDonald, President of CD-adapco says:

" Our recent product and service developments are indicative of the exciting direction we are taking as a company, spearheading a new generation of computationally based engineering solutions. This year's North American Conferences will reveal just how well prepared we are to address future needs of the entire CFD community. Come and join us - I look forward to seeing you there!".
