Machine Learning Accelerates Centrifugal Pump Design

In this blog post, we show how machine learning can be used in the design process of a centrifugal pump to optimize diffuser geometry. The AI model is trained on data from best-in-class simulation tools which produce reliable data that closely agrees with experimental validation results. Using a trained AI model based on simulation data, engineers can explore the impact of changes to diffuser parameters with instant feedback.

Rapid Aerodynamic Development using CFD and Machine Learning

This blog illustrates how aerodynamic data obtained from the 3DS CFD PowerFLOW software combined with data-driven methods can enable car manufacturers to obtain clean 3D contour plots of the vehicle’s surface X-force distribution, the associated integrated vehicle drag force and more within several minutes on a single GPU.

Game, Set, Match! Simulation of the Magnus Effect in Tennis🎾

The Magnus effect is a well-known effect that impacts the motion of a spinning object through a fluid. One of the most common ways to experience the impact of this principle is through the motion of balls in sports. Indeed, this physics principal is used by amateurs and professional athletes in sports such as tennis, soccer, cricket, baseball etc. In the below example, we ask Nicolas Fougere, SIMULIA Fluids, Industry Process Consultant Manger, to walk us through a tennis ball simulation workflow.

Thermal Behavior of Vehicle Seats: Using Simulation to Enhance Thermal Comfort

This current customer reference story aims to present a first-of-its-kind simulation workflow using a PowerFLOW-PowerTHERM coupled simulation to assess the thermal behavior of a vehicle seat provided by Lear Corporation.

Why the High-Tech Industry Needs Multiphysics Simulation

The High-Tech industry is fast-moving and constantly reinventing itself in the face of trends such as wearables, VR/AR, private wireless networks and 5G and the coming 6G. Manufacturers face considerable challenges if they want to stay ahead of these trends and remain competitive. We spoke to several SIMULIA High-Tech industry specialists about the challenges of modern electronic design and how modeling and simulation (MODSIM) with a multiphysics approach is allowing leading manufacturers to tackle them.
