Altair announced today that British motorsport and engineering group Prodrive has deployed AcuSolve® for its Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. AcuSolve is a leading general-purpose CFD flow solver with superior robustness, speed and accuracy. Users can quickly obtain quality solutions without iterating on solution procedures. AcuSolve is seamlessly coupled with the structural solvers of HyperWorks®, a comprehensive suite of computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools which enable businesses to create superior, market-leading products efficiently and cost effectively. Prodrive wanted to analyze and improve the fluid flow within the water jacket of Aston Martin Racing engines and were aiming to achieve reliable results in a short period of time. The challenge was to solve several iterations of a model with complex geometry within a compressed timeframe by relatively inexperienced users. The team selected AcuSolve to generate a process and methodology that allowed for ease of use and repeatability. The process ensured that every step ran

Engineers from Stanford University, Honeywell International and ANSYS are working together with simulation software to create more energy-efficient aircraft engines at lower costs. As demand grows for increased gas turbine efficiency, engine manufacturers are challenged with creating designs that operate at higher temperatures. But that becomes a significant challenge as temperatures approach the melting point of some engine component material. A well-established method for maintaining turbine blade temperatures at acceptable levels is to employ "film-cooling," a technique in which cooler, compressor-discharge air is detoured around the combustor then ejected from precisely-machined holes placed over the surface of the turbine airfoil. Excessive use of compressor air for turbine film cooling can, however, reduce engine efficiency. Historically, film-cooling-hole-placement on turbine airfoils has been optimized by elaborate experiments, sometimes necessitating engine testing. For decades, research engineers have been developing computer simulations of film cooling geometries with the ambition of reducing – if not eliminating – the need for expensive,

Alphacam has expanded Canadian reseller Vectorline’s role to cover the whole of the country, and to work with metal manufacturers. Based in Sarnia, Ontario, Vectorline has focused on Alphacam’s woodworking customers for six years, and Managing Director Paul Demchuk carried out Alphacam training and support programming for machinery retailers since 2000.
