Dassault Systemes Announces New Capability for Analyzing Fluid-Structure Interaction with ABAQUS and STAR-CD.SIMULIA Collaborates with CD-adapco to Deliver State-of-the-Art Multiphysics Technology PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. & PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Dassault Systemes (DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY) (Paris: DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard ), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design ) solutions, announces the availability of a powerful coupled-analysis capability for fluid-structure interaction (FSI FSI Foreign Service Institute FSI Fluid Structure Interaction FSI Fuel Stratified Injection FSI Federazione Scacchistica Italiana (Italian Chess Federation) FSI Free Standing Insert FSI Flight Simulator ) utilizing ABAQUS, the technology-leading finite element analysis Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis. It uses a numerical technique called the finite element method (FEM). There are many finite element software packages, both free and proprietary. (FEA (Finite Element Analysis) A mathematical technique for analyzing stress, which breaks down a physical structure into substructures called "finite elements." The finite elements and their interrelationships are converted into equation form and solved mathematically. ) software from their SIMULIA brand, and STAR-CD, a market-leading 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 CFD - Computational Fluid Dynamics ) software from CD-adapco. The new FSI solution builds on the SIMULIA strategy of delivering an open platform for multiphysics simulation. The bi-directional coupling leverages a strong partnership with CD-adapco and the independent, open solution for the coupling--MpCCI software from Fraunhofer SCAI--to enable ABAQUS and STAR-CD to work together to solve a wide range of important FSI problems. "This coupled solution provides the most powerful FSI technology available on the market," states Dennis Nagy, VP of marketing and business development at CD-adapco. "Companies using our coupled solution will dramatically improve collaboration between fluid dynamics engineers and structural engineers. This will enable them to gain a greater understanding of system behavior and a competitive edge in delivering innovative inventions and products to market." "Multiphysics simulation such as FSI is increasingly important," says Ken Short, VP of strategy and marketing at SIMULIA. "It allows engineers to replicate and predict realistic physical behavior of complex systems where the interactions of fluid and structural responses are significant. Our customers will benefit tremendously from our open platform approach which enables them to easily integrate, fully supported best-in-class technology." The new offering allows manufacturers and researchers in automotive, aerospace, off-shore, biomedical, consumer, and process industries to study the influence of fluid flow-induced forces and heat transfer on structural integrity as well as the impact of nonlinear material response on fluid flow behavior. This allows them to evaluate a broad range of conditions, such as flow-induced vibrations in structures, in-vivo vascular flows, valve dynamics. and fluid-structure applications in consumer goods and packaging.
