pipe network. Te ripple causes fluid-borne noise, induces undesirable noise emissions, unfavourable dynamic structural loads and naturally, a reduction of the reliability in a hydraulic system. In order to optimise a specific pipeline


At the show this year Cray and Altair will be revealing results from a benchmark study for crash simulations with Altair’s RADIOSS structural analysis solver running on Cray XC systems. Leveraging expertise in building the


world’s most advanced supercomputers, Cray offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance computing (HPC) systems and storage delivering unrivalled sustained performance on a wide range of challenging CAE applications. With Altair soſtware on Cray hardware, application users can be sure their jobs will run as fast as possible. Together Cray and Altair operate some of the largest supercomputers in existence. www.cray.com

FEMFAT is a finite element solution for fatigue analysis which can be used to achieve


results from time and frequency domain for high- and low cycle fatigue. A high variety on modules enables every engineer to configure the soſtware package for their needs individually. Developments from well-known institutes and


guidelines are taken into account and modified to fit the assessment method in FEMFAT. Additionally it’s based on in-house developments resulting from project works with global customers and measurements and research from Engineering Center Steyr (ECS). Te analysis method is a mixture from


local stress concept, structural stress concept and using influence parameters to consider results from high end simulation techniques. Manufacturing processes like sand castings, die castings, metal forming, stamping and complex material models from laminates or short fibre reinforced plastics are taking into account for higher accuracy in fatigue results. Mean stress correction and plasticity in frequency domain are unique capabilities of FEMFAT soſtware. www.femfat.com


FLUIDON and its pipe expert and mascot RohrLEx present the analysis of pressure


oscillations in fluid power systems. Te pulsations are of particular concern if the ripple frequencies match the natural frequencies of the

system it is necessary to analyse various layout alternatives with different pipe diameters, branch position or line segment lengths. With DSHplus, an APA program for


1D-system simulation models of complex hydraulic and pneumatic systems, RohrLEx is able to provide the required scalable system- level models. HyperStudy helps users to run these models and manage the parameter optimisation. Furthermore FMI export allows him to use any DSHplus model in a 1D-3D combination or any other simulation soſtware. www.fluidon.com


Materials information specialists Granta Design will be showing their latest application Mi:materials Gateway


for HyperMesh. Granta’s data management soſtware enables companies to capture, analyse and maintain all of their materials property knowledge, and deploy it enterprise-wide to design and simulation engineers. In-house data can be augmented by reference


information from authoritative materials data providers, handbooks, and Standards organisations. Now this powerful resource can be accessed and applied from within HyperMesh. CAE analysts no longer need to spend hours


looking for, and assessing, suitable property data – while their organisations benefit from


For over 30 years the Hbm-ncode brand has provided cutting-edge durability and data analysis solutions to major OEMs and component suppliers, enabling engineers to understand product performance, accelerate product development and improve design. Up-front design tools such as ncode


Designlife enables engineers to gain insight into their products’ performance before a prototype is even made. With this CAE-based tool, fatigue and durability may be calculated from FEA results, identifying critical locations and calculating fatigue lives for both metals and composites. Users benefit from access to advanced


technology for virtual shaker testing simulation, welds, vibration, crack growth, and thermo- mechanical fatigue analysis. At this year’s ATC, Hbm- ncode will demonstrate and present its


consistent, traceable information across all simulation teams. www.grantadesign.com


At the ATC this year HP and Intel will be demonstrating how they are re-imagining the HPC Datacenter. HP with support from Intel develops and


delivers solutions with targeted workload optimisation and deep domain expertise to meet the unique needs of High Performance Computing (HPC) customers. Tese solutions will leverage Intel’s scalable HPC framework and HP’s Apollo Systems for HPC to take HPC mainstream. Intel’s HPC scalable system framework is


a flexible blueprint for both computationally and data-intensive computing that provides optimised system performance at any scale. HP Apollo systems implementing the framework will be tailored to meet the stringent compute, I/O, memory and storage needs for HPC customers’ workloads. www.hp.com www.intel.com


See Maplesoft technology in action at the European Altair Technology Conference (EATC). Maple, a


complete, rapid solution development environment, and MapleSim, an advanced physical modelling and simulation tool, are both available through Altair’s HyperWorks Platform. Whether you need to do quick calculations,


develop design sheets, or produce sophisticated high-fidelity simulation models, the Maple


new capabilities for designing and validating components subjected to vibration excitation. Tis Multi-Load Vibration module includes


the ability to simulate newer and more representative qualification tests using multiple simultaneous PSD loads as well as sine-on- random loads. www.ncode.com
