| Master’s Degree Course in CAE |
|
|
Why does a company delegate an employee to the master’s degree course Applied Computational Mechanics of esocaet? Because this is a fast and effective way to meet the growing demands for simulation engineers. They gain essential CAE know-how and cover their lack of experienced simulation engineers. As a continuing education study program, the Master ACM is intended for working engineers. With its pooled times of presence it offers the possibility to combine a professional career with advanced studies. Our students are engineers or natural scientists who are already working in the field of simulation, or design engineers who want to broaden their job description. An Advisory Board with members of BMW, Prof. Wall (TU München), Prof. Schrefler (University of Padua), Prof. Dallner (UAS Ingolstadt), Dr. Mueller (CADFEM GmbH), and others is supervising the advancement of the course. The master’s degree course will start in September for the fourth time.

| Multi-Objective Optimization with modeFRONTIER |
|
|
Simulation plays an important role in modern product design and development. The most general procedure can involve the design of the product in a CAD system, the mesh generation and finally the numerical simulation to test it regarding several performance criteria, often involving more then one discipline and/or software (e.g. acoustics, durability, impact behavior, cost modeling, manufacturing process, etc.). These days optimization software programs, such as ESTECO’s modeFRONTIER, act as robots controlling the design process. The role of the user is to create a parameterized digital model, for example in a CAD program, and to specify the objectives

| Coupling AnyBody and ANSYS for Biomedical Analysis |
|
|
Ozen Engineering, an ANSYS and AnyBody Channel Partner, is putting the final touches for a one-way interface between AnyBody and ANSYS. This new program reads in AnyBody simulation results and writes out bone geometry and boundary conditions from AnyBody into ANSYS FEA models; it converts anysurf files to stl's and read them into ANSYS solid modeling tools where one can add a medical implant for further analysis. For instance, a spinal implant model can be affixed directly to the exported AnyBody movements in order to do finite element analysis. The AnyBody model can be changed or altered and those changes will be reflected in the ANSYS model, making the variety of test conditions for the implant as versatile as AnyBody itself.

A study has been conducted on the wind loadings of the roofs of the new football stadium of Panathinaikos FC, which is currently under construction. The geometry of the stadium was first suitably transformed and simplified according to the needs of the study. A numerical mesh comprising of tetrahedral and prismatic elements was constructed. The stadium is located in a smooth terrain with no surrounding buildings. Due to this and the double symmetry of the construction, three wind direction scenarios were sufficient for producing results representative of the wind loads on the roof of the stadium. At the inflow of the flow domain, a logarithmic high speed wind profile, according to EU regulations was applied. Steady state CFD simulations were performed. Postprocessing of the numerical results enabled the visualization of flow patterns and the estimation of forces and moments on the roofs and their supports. A differential pressure distribution on the thin roofs of the stadium gave to the Structural Engineers maps of upward and downward loadings. Most part of the roofs, and for all scenarios, were found under upward loads but downward (adverse for the supports) loads were also evidenced.
