advanced simulation technologies AVL FIRE® 2015. EXCELLENCE MULTIPLIED. F O C U S 2 3 AVL FIRE® is a well-established 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Software for simulating thermal fluid flows in internal combustion engines, engine and powertrain components, batteries and fuel cells. > Post-Processing CFD results in the new framework FIRE® 2015 features a number of novel capabilities in pre-processing, main program and post-processing, and will be the first FIRE® version to be integrated in the AVL Simulation Desktop (SDT). The Simulation Desktop is a new framework, offering a highly functional graphical user interface (GUI) and also providing a common project and data management system for all Advanced Simulation Technologies tools. This enables easy information sharing and supports interdisciplinary simulation tasks. Significantly shorter model generation and execution times are the result, helping to investigate more design variants during the product development process more efficiently. The software’s user- friendliness and the high degree of automation also give a significantly larger number of people easy access to CFD. COMING SOON The first simulation desktop- integrated version of FIRE® will offer grid generation tools for the interactive generation of high-quality low cell-count grids and automated modelling of arbitrarily complex geometries. Extended solver capabilities make it possible to set up multi-domain models. This is essential if classical fluid flow problems and heat transfer into adjacent structures need to be solved simultaneously. The easy and fast assignment of material properties to individual domains with the help of the extensive AST Property Database is another highlight of the new FIRE® version. Simulation results are assessed in the new AST Post-Processor, supporting interactive and template-based visualization and analysis of two- and three-dimensional calculation data. The post-processor also allows the creation of animations, movies and 3D PDFs, helping engineers to easily recognize and interprete the causes and effects of transient fluid flow phenomena. A built-in report generator offers creating application-specific documentation. “AVL FIRE® 2015 brings us a huge step closer towards the seamless integration of CFD into the product creation process and opens up doors to exciting new possibilities,” Maik Suffa, Group Product Manager CFD in Advanced Simulation Technologies says, summing up the advantages of AVL FIRE® 2015. <
