Increasing productivity and competitive advantage for Gas Turbine OEMs using System Simulation |
Flowmaster Limited are pleased to announce their participating in ASME Turbo Expo 2009, Orlando, FL, June 8th – 12th, the premier event for the Gas Turbine industry. Mike Croegaert, Gas Turbine Product Manager will be presenting ‘Using Flowmaster V7 as your COTS solution for the simulation of your secondary air systems’ on the Expositing Stage, during the Expo Reception at 5pm, June 9th. |
 |
|
During the presentation Mike will be describing how Flowmaster has addressed the issues identified with traditional in-house code, by creating a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution that combines an established and validated solver with the usability of a professionally developed and maintained graphical user interface. Flowmaster V7 Gas Turbine has the flexibility to allow organizations to integrate and secure proprietary data into a powerful easy to use tool that is commercially developed and supported by an international network of fluid systems engineers.

MpCCI Flowmaster Adaptor
24 April 2009
|
|
Flowmaster are pleased to announce the availability of the MpCCI Flowmaster Adaptor, bringing together the speed and robustness of 1D system modelling with the complexity of 3D CFD and CAE tools.
MpCCI (Mesh-based parallel Code Coupling Interface) has been developed by the Fraunhofer-Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing (Fraunhofer SCAI) to link a wide variety of simulation programs including the 3D CFD applications, Star-CD (from CD-adapco) and Fluent (from ANSYS).
|
 |
|
|
Fraunhofer SCAI have partnered with Flowmaster Limited to develop a coupling adaptor using MpCCI (Mesh-based parallel Code Coupling Interface) to enable 1D-3D co-simulation between Flowmaster and CFD applications. Flowmaster allows the entire flow system to be simulated whilst CFD applications perform detailed calculations
MpCCI and the MpCCI Flowmaster Adaptor have been developed and are distributed by Fraunhofer SCAI. For more information about the MpCCI Flowmaster Adaptor - please click here >
