ACUITIV Software Introduces Interactive CFD Visualization Solution.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BATAVIA, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2004 -- v4.0 of ACUITIV's Leading CFD CFD - Computational Fluid Dynamics Visualization Software Adds Significant Enhancements -- ACUITIV(TM) Software (www.acuitiv.com), a leading provider of next-generation Computational Fluid Dynamics Computational fluid dynamics The numerical approximation to the solution of mathematical models of fluid flow and heat transfer. Computational fluid dynamics is one of the tools (in addition to experimental and theoretical methods) available to solve (CFD) visualization software, today announced the availability of ACUITIV v4.0. With the significant enhancements contained in this new release, ACUITIV Software now delivers a fully interactive, enterprise-class CFD visualization solution for industries worldwide, including automotive, aerospace & defense, power, and chemical processing. Built on ACUITIV's cutting-edge architecture which is based on VR Juggler juggler Entertainer who keeps several plates, knives, balls, or other objects in the air at once by tossing and catching them. The art of juggling has been practiced since antiquity. (TM) and OpenGL(TM), ACUITIV v4.0 provides customers with a new suite of interactive tools for transient model visualization, multi-PC visualization sessions, and steady-state model support. ACUITIV v4.0 opens new avenues for engineers, designers, and marketers to assist in their efforts to dramatically reduce time and cost of analysis, as a single solution can now be used enterprise-wide to analyze, communicate and collaborate on a design. "The University of Maryland University of Maryland can refer to:
aerosol System of tiny liquid or solid particles evenly distributed in a finely divided state through a gas, usually air. sampler sampler, sample piece of needlework or embroidery, of silk, cotton, or worsted, for the preservation of some pattern or as an example of the ability of a child or a beginner. In museums and private collections there are samplers dating from as early as 1643. . Through use of ACUITIV v4.0, we will be able to capture the transient nature of a high-shear mixer or aerosol sampler to gain further insight into how fluid motions impact process performance. This allows our industrial collaborators to make immediate adjustments and longer term changes to lower costs and increase productivity, thereby gaining competitive advantage." About ACUITIV(TM) v4.0 ACUITIV Software provides a rich feature set in the latest release for interactive CFD visualization. ACUITIV v4.0 is built upon the flexible, open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced used in today's CFD market to incorporate a simplified and intuitive method for developing, analyzing and examining designs. v4.0 Key Features/Benefits -- Transient Model Visualization - ACUITIV v4.0 has the ability to read Fluent transient datasets and offers an interactive tool suite for visualizing these complex datasets through the use of contours Contours may mean:
streaklines, timelines and point queries. -- Global Time Control - By allowing the user to control transient animations, this feature keeps track of the time element inherent in transient analysis. -- Support for Multi-PC Visualization Session - ACUITIV v4.0 supports transient analysis across multiple computers and platforms. In addition, v4.0 offers steady-state model visualization where all of the model's data can be visualized on a single client. -- Additional features - Timelines connecting animated flow objects, flow animation options, improved color maps See color palette. and the ability to use an x, y, or z contour contour or contour line, line on a topographic map connecting points of equal elevation above or below mean sea level. It is thus a kind of isopleth, or line of equal quantity. plane to automatically generate a streamline box automatically. "With the latest release of ACUITIV v4.0, we have built an interactive CFD solution that offers real-time design modeling. We are also providing our customers with a transient visualization capability, which is often vital to the design and engineering process," said Bill Panepinto, general manager of ACUITIV Software. "Our latest version presents a level of sophistication so·phis·ti·cate v. so·phis·ti·cat·ed, so·phis·ti·cat·ing, so·phis·ti·cates v.tr. 1.
