Press Release Summary:
STAR-Pro/E and Comet-Pro/E are CFD plug-ins for Pro/ENGINEER systems. Integration of CFD with CAD enables parametric design studies through enhanced automation and bi-directional associativity between CAD and CFD models.
Comet-Pro/E models polyhedral mesh generation means while STAR-Pro/E models complex physics within Pro/ENGINEER environment.
Original Press Release:
Virtual Flows, Real Solutions in Your Pro/ENGINEER Environment!
The CD adapco Group announces the release of its new products, STAR-Pro/E and Comet-Pro/E, CFD plug-ins for Pro/ENGINEER systems.
STAR-Pro/E & Comet-Pro/E have been developed to meet the demands of product engineers for a single CAD and CFD solution that can speed product development, cut costs and improve product design. The tight integration of CFD with CAD, enables easier parametric design studies through enhanced automation and bi-directional associativity between CAD and CFD models.
The advantage of both plug-ins is that they enable rapid high quality meshing, model setup, solving and result evaluation to be completely integrated within the Pro/ENGINEER environment. Engineers who are familiar with CAD will therefore find adding CFD to existing models easy and intuitive, since boundary conditions and fluid properties are simply entered within the familiar Pro/ENGINEER GUI environment.
Why use Comet-Pro/E?
Comet-Pro/E is intended for design engineers who need to do quick upfront studies in their design process using Pro/ENGINEER. Simple flows can be easily modeled. Modern and unique automatic polyhedral mesh generation means models can be set up very quickly and fast solutions achieved. Users can quickly assess different what-if design scenarios.
Why use STAR-Pro/E?
STAR-Pro/E is intended for engineers needing to extend their flow analysis to include highly complex physics directly within the Pro/ENGINEER environment. It offers complete compatibility with the leading CFD solution STAR-CD, allowing highly complex physics to be modeled directly within the Pro/ENGINEER environment. The same breadth of flow and heat and mass transfer regimes can be handled as Comet-Pro/E, together with chemical reaction and combustion, multiphase and multiphysics capabilities.
Ramu Ramamurthy, Principal Engineer in Automotive Advanced Product Development at EATON Corporation explains the benefits:
"With the introduction of Pro/ENGINEER embedded solutions, the CD adapco Group is offering a single CAD and CFD solution that will allow design engineers to analyze their designs, as requirements and their design evolves. I am confident that STAR-Pro/E and Comet-Pro/E will successfully meet the needs of design engineers, development engineers and researchers industry-wide."
