Video: Dassault Systèmes Extends CFD Simulation On The 3D Experience Platform

With the acquisition of the Madrid-based company Next Limit Dynamics, developer of the X-Flow technology, Dassault Systèmes is expanding its industry solutions for multi-physics simulation on the 3D experience platform and strengthening its market position in the field of numerical flow simulation (CFD). Next Limit Dynamics software solutions are used by analysts for the precise and meaningful simulation of highly dynamic fluid flows. This means that demanding CFD tasks can be solved quickly.

Driving new things
"The simulation enables innovators to drive the further development of materials, additive manufacturing processes, the Internet of Experiences and other factors that contribute to the harmonization of products, nature and life," said Bernard Charlès, Vice Chairman & CEO, Dassault Systèmes. "Next Limit Dynamics is a young, dynamic company, whose experienced research and development team and the future-oriented CFD method, integrated into the multi-physical, multi-scale 3D experience platform, will transform the innovation process."
Simulate complex designs
Realistic simulation - from early conception to late validation - is a crucial step to successfully create sustainable customer experiences. Next Limit Dynamics technology is used to predict and improve the performance of complex designs exposed to fluid flow. These include, for example, aerodynamic flows behind motor vehicles, aerodynamic noises from aircraft landing gear or the lubrication of complex drive trains. This approach can help improve a vehicle's fuel consumption and emissions, reduce aircraft noise, and increase the efficiency of wind turbines to generate energy.
Focus on optimization
"For almost a decade, we have developed our Lattice-Boltzmann simulation technology X-Flow to expand the applicability of CFD to numerous industries and for demanding tasks," said David Holman, General Manager, Next Limit Dynamics. “Today's products are becoming more and more sophisticated, which means that technical tasks are becoming increasingly complex. Our innovative approach avoids the very time-consuming preparation tasks that are required with conventional CFD solution approaches. This allows engineers to focus more on evaluating and optimizing the design. As an integral part of Dassault Systèmes, our technology can better address this complexity and support the work of the engineers who use the 3D experience platform.”(Mz)
