CAE Value Continues to Increase European Activities on HEEDS

Both events titled: “Discover better designs, faster by optimizing your CFD models”, are supported by CD-adapco and Red Cedar Technology and will provide first hand information and knowledge around the combined use of HEEDS, Red Cedar’s optimization solution and STAR-CCM+, for CFD simulations.

Participants will learn how to parameterize CFD models in STAR-CCM+ and to define performance objectives and constraints. They will set up workflows and automated processes, generate design sweeps, perform DOEs and optimization studies and will learn how to identify optimal design and performance characteristics. Engineers and designers who work with Computational Fluid Dynamics software and desire to learn more about the integration of CFD with the Design Space Exploration technology, are invited to participate at the events.

In addition to the seminars CAE Value provides for the British and Swedish markets, the company is also planning to host further cross-industry events in Germany in the first half of 2013. Those events will focus on multidisciplinary optimization techniques with HEEDS. Dates, locations, and a detailed agenda will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

“We experience a growing demand for optimization search technology in all industries. Engineering organizations face ever more complex and challenging tasks to meet targets for emissions, fuel consumption, weight, durability, performance and comfort, just to name a few.” said Johnny Engström, CEO at CAE Value. “With an increased design complexity, HEEDS provide unique capabilities to explore design solutions while easily handling extremely large numbers of constraints and design variables. HEEDS enables its users to unveil the full potential of their designs by automatically generating feasible and optimal solutions by allowing analysts to focus on engineering tasks rather than experimenting with mathematical algorithms to even find one solution. We expect HEEDS’ optimization search to become the next wave of everyday CAE technology and we are excited to be part of this industry transformation.”

HEEDS integrates well with all popular CAE applications to automate and expedite design optimization. It can be combined with multiple software tools to handle pre- and post-processing, simulation, and multidisciplinary optimization. HEEDS is in use at renowned companies such as Johnson Controls, EDAG and Scania.
