Global Star Conference 2016

Directly from PRAGUE, our colleague Yannick Sirois is sending us highlights of the 2016 World Conference the theme being on how to get optimal concepts with minimal effort.

As Yannick is a CD ADAPCO software expert with cumulative experience of over 15 years. Yannick Sirois is in fact of all technological advances that our global supplier states this week.

The numerical optimization, always at the heart of success stories, has enabled Becker Marine to design a propeller that reduces consumption of 4.5% off of the total consumption for a ship. This represents a major savings totaling in thousands of dollars in the cost of operating a ship.

Stage-Gate Process vs. Agile Methodology

In a turbulent and ever-changing environment, it can be easy to miss an opportunity or fail to hit the constantly moving target of customer needs. Short market release periods are essential and require high productivity in terms of product development.

Aerodynamics Simulation for Design

External aerodynamics simulation plays an important role in modern automotive design. Vehicle fuel economy, stability, engine cooling, interior cabin noise and windshield-wiper performance are all influenced by aerodynamic forces.

What are the main applications of finite element analysis (FEA)?

This numerical calculation method is used in many fields of engineering and research and allows efficient and precise modelling the behavior of mechanical, thermal, or other complex systems. This method separates a complex geometry into a network of nodes and elements of simpler shape and equations, called a mesh.
