Structural Research & Analysis Corp. Announces Next Release of COSMOS/Flow to Be Embedded in SolidWorks; Integrated Flow Analysis for SolidWorks Users.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 2001 Structural Research & Analysis Corp. (SRAC SRAC Southern Regional Aquaculture Center SRAC Short-Run Average Cost SRAC System Realignment and Categorization SRAC Scenic Roads Advisory Committee SRAC Structural Research and Analysis Corporation ) and Blue Ridge Blue Ridge, eastern range of the Appalachian Mts., extending south from S Pa. to N Ga.; highest mountains in the E United States. Mt. Mitchell, 6,684 ft (2,037 m) high, is the tallest peak. Beginning with a narrow ridge in the north, c. Numerics Incorporated (BRNI BRNI Blue Ridge Numerics, Incorporated ), developers of the popular COSMOS/Flow 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 program, have announced plans to embed the next release of COSMOS/Flow into SolidWorks. COSMOS/Flow is currently embedded in COSMOS/DesignSTAR, which offers full associativity with SolidWorks. The upcoming release will take COSMOS/Flow to the next level of integration inside of SolidWorks, similar to COSMOS/Works, the best-selling analysis solution for SolidWorks users. This is the first step to achieving SolidWorks Gold Partner status for COSMOS/Flow. This new level of integration will allow Fluid-Structure interaction Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) occurs when a fluid interacts with a solid structure, exerting pressure on it which may cause deformation in the structure and thus alter the flow of the fluid itself. between COSMOS/Works and COSMOS/Flow. Fluid-Structure interaction allows transfer of wall forces, computed during CFD CFD - Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis, to a structural analysis study. No other analysis software allows this type of coupled analysis for SolidWorks users. "SRAC with COSMOS/Works was the first SolidWorks Gold Partner, and we are excited about the possibility of adding COSMOS/Flow into the family of SolidWorks Gold Partner Products. We think this will be a real benefit to SolidWorks users," said Suchit Jain, VP of Marketing, SRAC. "COSMOS/Flow is a mature CFD code, built on the foundations laid over the last ten years. It is the most robust fluid simulation program available for SolidWorks users, and now with the embedded interface, it is even easier to use," said Ed Williams, President, BRNI. About Blue Ridge Numerics Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Charlottesville, Va., Blue Ridge Numerics Inc. develops and markets software for modeling real-world fluid flow and heat transfer problems. The founders' experience developing commercial CFD software has enabled the company to develop a finite-element-based algorithm that delivers accurate results with less computational effort than other commercially available solutions.
