table
Tier-1 supercomputer 10,000+ cores to be installed
in 2013
RESULTS
Simulations and productivityBoost the Innovation
•Reduce time to market by achieving a quick concept exploration
•Reduce the cost of the design stage
Trade-off to find btw simulation & experiment on demonstrator (ex. Wind tunnel)
Provide solutions in diagnostic
•Reconstruct and understand known events by reverse analysis
•Identify the key parameters in multi-physics issues
RESULTS
Simulations and productivityOptimise and guide the decision
•Technical/Economic optimisation
•Incremental/parametric process to identify the key parameters/phenomena
Predict future or unobserved situations
Improve the current situation
Norms requirement check & product certification
RESULTS
Boost innovation: TiO2 coating efficiency assessment1. Extract the key parameters for product development2. Tests KO → CFD/multi-physics with local effects
OUTLOOK
Diagnostic: a production line of basalt fibers
1. Prevent damage to the production line (basalt solidification)2. Advices for the adaptation of the production line to boost the
line productivity
• CFD expertise (free surface flow and thermal transfers) • Electro-magnetic analysis of the electrode effects
Streamline of the molten basalt in the refiner(Colors represents
temperature)
CONTACT
Optimise: a welding sequence
4 welding beads to study the
influence of the weld sequence
Definition of the problem
Specification of the sequences
Optimise the displacements & residual stresses
Comparison of all sequences
CONTACT
Local reinforcement around rivets:
•Composite reinforcement by compression•Metalic reinforcement
Mass reduction (less rivets)Performances improvment
Optimise: a composite assembly
CONTACT
Optimise: Mass & performance of grooved heat pipes (satellite thermal management)
Optimised designs
CONTACT
A step to certification: Multi-physics stent design in the Biomedical Sector
• 3D stent mechanical design • Blood flow impact assessment• Respect of norms requirements in terms of “state-
of-the art” modeling … towards certification (ex. FDA)
CONTACT
A step to certification: Smoke exhaust system efficiency assessment for fire safety
• 3D CFD & thermal simulations with smoke diffusion• Respect of norms requirements in terms of “state-
of-the art” modeling … towards certification
