"Speeding up generation of mesh for CFD/CAE by Gridgen V15" *
Konosuke Kitamura, CFD Technical Division, VINAS Co., Ltd
 
Examples of application of Gridgen V15 by overseas users and new features of Gridgen V15 are presented. What Gridgen is accomplishing for users around the world will be introduced.
Presentation by Pointwise, developer of Gridgen
"Reliable CFD Meshing with Gridgen"
Mr. John R. Chawner, President, Pointwise, Inc.
 
Gridgen, the leading independent CFD mesher, is known forreliably creating high-quality meshes, being able to interoperate seamlessly with many other analysis tools to produce a CFD-readymesh, and having the backing of a worldwide network of expert, industry-experienced support engineers. This presentation will highlight recent developments in Gridgen towards improving meshing efficiency. These include mesh automation through solid modeling, grid solver improvements, and various minor efficiency enhancements.Also included in the presentation will be a preview of Pointwise's next generation mesher, which will enhance the power of Gridgen's meshing techniques with a modern, easy-to-use graphical user interface.
11:05-11:40 Gridgen User Presentation
"CFD analysis and application of Gridgen in development of engine for motorcycles" *
Mr. Yasuo Murakami, Honda R&D Co., Ltd.
 
CFD analysis has come to play an indispensable role in present-day development of engines. Honda has been carrying out numerous analyses, and examples of use of Gridgen in generation of high-quality mesh are introduced in this session. In this presentation, a mesh generation example for flow analysis inside an engine cylinder and various benefits in use of Gridgen are introduced.
11:40-12:15 Gridgen User Presentation
"Application of aerodynamic and wind noise simulations into Product Development" *
Mr. Takaki Nakamura, Mazda Motors Co., Ltd.
 
In order to develop the product cat with the low aerodynamic drag force and low aerodynamic noise in a short term, Mazda established the development process enhancing cooperation between the simulation and the wind tunnel test in a preliminary design phase, which will be introduced in this presentation.
12:15-13:30 Lunch / Demonstration
FieldView - a CFD post-processor that promotes team engineering
13:30-14:10 Presentation by VINAS
"FieldView 11 lets you further streamline you CFD analysis projects"
Hiroshi Kawahara, CFD Technical Division, VINAS Co., Ltd *
 
Examples of application of FieldView by international users are introduced as well as tips to use new features of FieldView V11 to increase efficiency in CFD analysis.
Presentation by Intelligent Light, developer of FieldView
"New Technologies for Interactive Post-processing of Large CFD Data"
Mr. Steve M. Legensky, Founder and General Manager, Intelligent Light
 
Up to now, most post-processing software has used methods that date back to the 1980's when CFD was usually steady-state and dataset size was small.In order to attack the problem of efficient post-processing of the large, unsteady datasets created today and those that will be common in the future, new methods are required.Mr. Legensky will describe new software technologies to manage unsteady data that also utilize the programmability features of modern graphics boards.Using these techniques, 60Gb CFD datasets have been post-processed interactively on LINUX PCs.
14:10-14:50 FieldView User Presentation
"The role of CFD and CFD results visualization in a simulation based design process"

Mr. Hyung Lee, CFD Lead Engineer, Bechtel Bettis Inc.
 
With the rise in complexity of product and process design, the use of computer-aided-simulation tools has become widespread.Rapid advancements in computing technology have continued to reduce the time required to run computer simulation programs.This reduction in simulation time, coupled with the advent of intelligent optimization and design improvement techniques, now allows the investigation of more product configurations than ever before.Taking advantage of these developments, a simulation based integrated design process is proposed which utilizes computer simulation based design practices, advanced physical (mathematical) models, and a body of knowledge stored in readily accessible databases to achieve the desired objectives of reducing design risks and costs, enabling the study of revolutionary concepts, and providing a means to train new designers.
14:50-15:10 Coffee Break / Demonstration
15:10-15:45 FieldView User Presentation
"Application of FieldView in fluid analyses at Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd." *
Mr. Takaaki Tanaka, Process System Group, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.
 
Sumitomo Chemical's Process & ProductionTechnologyCenter uses CFD analyses in designing industrial plant equipment and improving operation of such equipment. In this session, an example of CFD analysis using FieldView will be presented.
15:45-16:20 FieldView User Presentation
"Application of FieldView in plant lifecycle engineering" *
Mr. Munenori Maekawa, PDS Unit, Chiyoda Advanced Solutions Co., Ltd.
 
Chiyoda Advanced Solutions tackles the challenge of Plant Lifecycle Engineering (PLE), especially in dealing with issues in the fields of Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), by using CFD, material studies and structural analysis. In this presentation, Chiyoda's examples of use of FieldView in studies of HSE issues are introduced.
16:20-16:40 Coffee Break / Demonstration
Special Session
16:40-17:20 "New industrial revolution driven by simulation" -simulation revolution brought about by the Earth Simulator and new industrial revolution driven by simulation" *
Dr. Tetsuya Sato
Director-General, EarthSimulatorCenter,
Japan Marine Science and TechnologyCenter
 
The Earth Simulator introduced the idea of "simulating the entire system" rather than conventional way of "simulating a part of a system." As a result, simulation of a new product as a whole has been enabled in product development processes. In this special session, examples of such accomplishments and proposed concept of linked layer simulation, which can be applied to automotive and most of other industrial sectors, will be presented along with its examples.
17:30〜19:30 Reception Party (Admission Free)
Party starts at 17:30 - 30th floor “Furano”
* These presentations will be available only in Japanese.
