14:00–14:25 Andrew Hobbs - ASTEC Industries, Inc.Post-processing Fluid and Particle Data Using EnSight: Perspectives From the Hot Mix Asphalt IndustryPost-processing fluid and particle data comes with many challenges. The complexity of the numerical models and often the sheer volume of data can make analysis difficult. Of the many challenges, two are significant. First is extracting meaningful data from the results, and the second is communicating this data in an effective way.

ASTEC engineers have developed techniques to address these challenges using off-the-shelf commercial post-processing tools.

14:25–14:50 Mathieu Passe - Aero Concept Engineering EnSight: an efficient tool in UAV airframe development

14:50–15:15 Dr. Gábor Janiga, PD - Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg

Blood flows analysis in intracranial aneurysmsBrain aneurysms represent a cerebrovascular disease, which is characterized by a local dilation of the arterial wall. The hemodynamics play a crucial role in the development of this disease and also in the assessment of various endovascular treatments, such as flow diverter stenting.

High-resolution numerical simulations can be well studied in EnSight both qualitatively and quantitatively, e.g., for virtually treated patient-specific cases. Ensight is also a valuable tool for analyzing the corresponding experimental measurements and validating the numerical results.

15:15–15:45 COFFEE BREAK

15:45–16:10 Marius Zubel - Inst. for Combustion Engines, RWTH Aachen University

Research at VKA - Simulation of Internal Combustion EnginesThe 3D-CFD research at the Institute for Combustion Engines at RWTH Aachen University covers a wide range of topics regarding spark and compression ignition engines.

16:10–16:35 Dr. Carlos Labra - Particle Analytics Ltd.Continuum analysis of particle-based simulations for industrial processesDiscrete Element Method (DEM) and DEM-CFD coupling have become the most powerful tool to simulate different industrial processes involving powders and particulate solids. Nevertheless, its use for real industrial problems requires significant computational resources and generates a large amount of data, resulting in a significant challenge to deliver visualization and analysis of the results.

Iota-Suite is a simulation data analytics software that uses advanced spatial-temporal averaging techniques to transform particle-based (discrete) data into continuum fields that represent bulk quantitates, extending the analysis capabilities of this type of simulations considerably and reducing at the same time the large amount of data stored.

Different real-scale problems are analyzed to study common phenomena as mixing, segregation or heat transfer, where the

continuum (bulk) quantities are used to compare scenarios by adapting variables as mixing quality index or concentration and developing new performance indices for more complex processes.

16:35–17:00 Dr. John Hart - Center for Sports Engineering ResearchVisualizing the “Colorful” World of Fluid Dynamics in Sport (to be presented by Arnold Holler - CEI GmbH)CFD coupled with detailed flow visualization provide a level of information regarding flow phenomena associated with sports equipment not easily obtainable by other means. As a result we are able to enhance performance, foster participation, engage with the public and inspire the next generation of engineers.

For decades EnSight has been a post-processor dedicated to developing top quality features for all engineers, no matter which simulation suite they have chosen for their simulations. With the ANSYS acquisition, the core of CEI’s philosophy hasn’t changed. Our team

will remain committed to providing high quality post-processing for all users.

The next release of EnSight will contain major new features to improve the performance of your analysis. In this presentation we will discuss how performance has been improved for transient models where only some parts are changing connectivity. We will also show what new features are in the works to improve the remote rendering capabilities, which will allow any engineer to run EnSight remotely while displaying it locally with very high fidelity. Finally, we will discuss a new method of utilizing EnSight in parallel, that will allow engineers to decompose their model both spatially and temporally, giving them an unprecedented level of elasticity in their analysis. This new feature will allow engineers to optimize their performance with any hardware configuration they have available.

A dedicated section of the presentation will introduce a new product, Nexus. Nexus will provide engineers centralized data searching and analysis of their data, in the context of a beautiful and intuitive web-based report. By using Nexus, engineers will have a single location where all their data is aggregated and analyzed across multiple datasets and runs. This new product comes ready for the cloud, and will provide your team with a tool designed to share results across an entire organization.
