ANSYS Anwenderkonferenz
In Kassel findet die diesjährige Anwenderkonferenz von ANSYS-Produkten statt. Die ANSYS Conference & das 30. CADFEM Users´ Meeting sind ein Spiegelbild dessen, was Ingenieure heute mit hochmodernen Simulationswerkzeugen in den Bereichen Strömungsmechanik, Strukturmechanik, Elektromagnetik sowie Systeme & Multiphysik leisten. Anwender aus Industrie, Forschung und Lehre zeigen in über 200 Beiträgen den erfolgreichen Einsatz von Simulationstechnologie in verschiedenen Branchen und physikalischen Bereichen.
Zu den Schwerpunktbranchen, denen am ersten Veranstaltungstag eigene Sessions gewidmet sind, gehören in diesem Jahr Solar & Windkraft, Elektronik im Automobil, Werkzeugmaschinen, Städte & Gebäude, Biomechanik& Medizin sowie Lehre, Forschung und Ausbildung.
Paul Mathis vom EBC stellt die Aktivitäten des Lehrstuhls im Bereich CFD vor. Die beiden Forschungsgebiete des EBC im Bereich der Strömungssimulation sind Raumluftströmungen und Strömungen in Komponenten. Nach einem Überblick über die CFD-Aktivitäten im Allgemeinen wird für jedes Forschungsgebiet jeweils ein Beispiel etwas näher erläutert. Für die Raumluftströmungen wird die Strömung und der thermische Komfort in einem modernen Flugzeugcockpit vorgestellt, für die Komponenten die Homogenisierung der Volumenströme in einer Filterbank.
