Altair Releases New Version of Its Industry-Leading AcuSolve CFD Simulation Tool
2/24/2012
AcuSolve V1.8b introduces powerful post-processing solution AcuFieldView along with new physical models, meshing capabilities and significant pre-processing improvements
TROY, Mich. - Feb. 21, 2012 - Altair Engineering, Inc., today announced the release of AcuSolve V1.8b, a powerful new version of its industry-leading finite element based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software within the HyperWorks suite of computer-aided engineering solutions. The advanced analysis tool, which offers superior robustness, speed and accuracy for analyzing complex designs driven by multiphysics and multidisciplinary simulations, introduces many new features and improvements in its post-processing, solver and pre-processing capabilities while dramatically enhancing the user experience.
Post-processor: Managing more complex CFD data
AcuSolve V1.8b offers a new and improved version of AcuFieldView. This OEM version of Intelligent Light's class-leading FieldView CFD post-processor furnishes the ability to manage large and complex CFD data visualization requirements. It incorporates Intelligent Light's most recent advancements in FieldView, including a new codebase that produces optimized graphics performance and a common graphical user interface (GUI) on all platforms.
The new AcuFieldView provides eight-way parallel operation instead of the standard four-way parallel FieldView base model. As a result, it is able to manage the largest AcuSolve results efficiently, with no model size limits or feature restrictions. With the addition of AcuFieldView to AcuSolve, users gain complete CFD capability, from pre-processing through solver solutions and post-processing, all within the AcuSolve solution environment. Customers will have access to these capabilities through their purchased pool of HyperWorks Units, the innovative token-based licensing model from Altair.
Solver: New turbulence models and viscoelastic material model
The AcuSolve V1.8b solver implements three new turbulence models:
SST (Menter's Shear Stress Transport model)
SST-DES (SST-Detached Eddy Simulation model)
k-omega (2008 Variant of Wilcox's k-? model)
The addition of these new turbulence models provides a broader selection of turbulence modeling options within AcuSolve. Extensive work has been done to produce a robust implementation with an optimal convergence rate. These selections add to AcuSolve's existing key turbulence models including LES (Large Eddy Simulation), DES (Detached Eddy Simulation), and other RANS models.
AcuSolve V1.8b features full support for edge-based surface mesh extrusions through the AcuConsole GUI. With this powerful technique, users can mesh highly anisotropic (directionally dependent) features while retaining the simplicity and flexibility of automatic unstructured meshing on complex geometries.
Other features in the new release serve to increase performance and further improve the user experience. For example, compared to the previous AcuSolve version, improvements on domain decomposition for massively parallel applications allow V1.8b to deliver as much as a 15-times reduction in pre-processing time on large models with high core counts. This dramatic performance improvement comes at no expense in memory consumption.
"AcuSolve is highly valued for its speed, accuracy and robustness that make it the technology leader for CFD simulations," said Farzin Shakib, vice president of CFD technology at Altair. "This release continues to build AcuSolve's reputation for providing high-quality, fast, and robust solutions by introducing new physical models, techniques to reduce computation time, and a powerful post-processing solution."
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
