Deploying Simcenter STAR-CCM+ CFD calculations to the cloud is now commonplace, giving small and midsize businesses (SMBs) the computing power to compete for larger-scale CFD projects in all areas of the marketplace. Design Exploration and Optimization takes the cloud model one step further by leveraging extended cloud compute resources coupled to in-house expertise and IP. This free webinar, originally delivered on March 28, 2019 by Adam Green and Chris Ostoich, highlights a workflow utilizing HEEDS MDO tools running locally, pushing STAR-CCM+ models to the Rescale cloud, and Eric Timmer from Rescale also stops by to share about the power of cloud computing, especially for SMBs.

We’ve chosen to use STAR-CCM+ with HEEDS Design Exploration software to determine the preferred airframe geometry to push through the transonic regime and enable supersonic flight. The Whitcomb area rule, the collective product of an industry-wide effort comprising years of theorizing, testing, and innovation, produced “wasp-waisted” fuselages that allowed aircraft to easily slip past the sound barrier. Can STAR-CCM+, HEEDS, and Rescale derive the same result in 12 hours?
