Do you spend hours or days preparing large, complex 3D CAD for FEA/CFD/CAE simulation? Do you have problems with double or intersecting surfaces, closing holes, defeaturing or obtaining the ‘wetted’ surface? CD-adapco would like to invite you to a seminar on how, by using fast and automatic surface wrapping technology, you can significantly reduce the tedious and time-consuming work involved in preparing CAD for simulation.

CD-adapco’s surface wrapper works by ‘shrink-wrapping’ a high-quality tessellated surface mesh onto the geometry: closing holes, removing double surfaces, defeaturing or retaining detail as required. Starting from a complex CAD assembly, it provides a high-quality surface mesh in minutes. When introduced into existing CAE processes, the surface wrapper cuts weeks of CAD clean-up work. It is this time and cost saving that has motivated world-leading aerospace and automotive OEMs to use it as a precursor to all their FEA and CFD work.

The seminar provides an opportunity for you to see the surface wrapper in action. In the afternoon there’ll be a hands-on session for you to check out the wrapper for yourself; if you are able to bring along an example CAD part or assembly to test the wrapper with, please do. It also provides a forum for experts from CD-adapco to share their expertise and experience at optimizing simulation processes with you, and for you to network with other CAE professionals.

Where and when? The seminars will take place across Europe – see below, during September and October 2007. See the additional dates for Germany and Italy below and the updated date for France. If you would like to find out more, but can’t make these dates, please let us know as there may be another seminar that is convenient.
