"This release of CFdesign marks another milestone in the evolution of the
upfront CFD category," stated Blue Ridge Numerics president, Ed Williams. Once the "Go" button is pushed, integrated
intelligence automatically determines and modifies the time step size for
current flow conditions, significantly reducing user responsibility during
the simulation phase while improving accuracy.
Applications with intensive mesh generating requirements are now
effectively addressed with integrated intelligence that drives an automated
Part-by-Part meshing process which ensures solutions are achieved for
complex applications without user involvement even when computer hardware
is less than optimal.

Further reducing hardware requirements of automatic meshing while adding
detail to the simulation, the new Surface Parts feature is ideal for thin,
2 -D surfaces common in component- and board-level electronics, sheet metal
enclosures, fan blades, etc. Here is a detailed list of new

FloWizard V2 for audiences at the National Design Show, NDES, in
Chicago , part of National Manufacturing Week in the U. FloWizard V2 combines
the ease of use of a wizard interface with the powerful FLUENT 6. The result is a solution that can help
engineers test conceptual designs at the earliest stages of the
product development cycle providing the benefit of discovering design
flaws early in the process thus improving quality, time to market, and
reducing large downstream manufacturing costs.

the Northeast Ohio region will be devastating. Overall, NASA
Glenn's budget will get cut from $640 million in fiscal year 2005 to
$520 million in fiscal year 2006. The
Fluid Physics program has been transformed into Advanced Life Support and
Multiphase Flow Technologies that will be directed towards developing
engineering design data. Using condition numbers and multiple parameters in the
coefficient matrix, CFdesign intelligently selects the solver best suited
for the job.
In addition to setting up rotating and translating

Dear President Bush:

We urge you to reconsider cuts on nearly 700 jobs at the NASA Glenn
Research Center (GRC).
NASA Glenn consists of 24 major facilities on 350 acres near Cleveland
Hopkins International Airport and the 6,400-acre Plum Brook Station in
Sandusky. NASA Glenn Research Centers' highly educated and well -
paid work force is critical to Ohio's economy. Full details and images

fluid simulation engine. CFD can actually be an extremely helpful tool
for validating design concepts before they're committed to. By simulating a
product's fluid flow characteristics earlier in the design process,
FloWizard users need fewer physical prototypes, identify optimum
designs sooner, and increase the efficiency of their design and
engineering process.8 percent respectively, it is
important that we explore every possibility to maintain the jobs at NASA
Glenn. According to
the Census Bureau, Cleveland experienced the highest poverty rate among
America's big cities last year, with nearly a third of its people in poverty . When the solution is stable, CFdesign accelerates the
calculation and then stops the analysis when a reliable solution is
achieved. Surface parts significantly reduce mesh
requirements while acting as active heat contributors and resistors.cfdesign.

Additional enhancements in FloWizard V2 are compressible flow
physics, heat exchanger models, and new post-processing features
including iso-surfaces, arbitrary plane cuts, and point probes. It aims to make the use of
CFD amongst designers just as easy and common as CAD software is
today.
The Aeronautics Program will be confronted with a reduction of $40 million

"Where CFD has been traditionally restricted to high fidelity
complex modeling, FloWizard now also brings fluid and airflow
simulation to all stages in the product design process," said Paul
Bemis, Vice President of Marketing at Fluent. "By introducing testing
earlier in the product design process, FloWizard is breaking the
'design, build, test' cycle that still permeates the engineering
culture --in an ideal world testing should be done throughout the
product design process. Tubbs Jones. With Cleveland recently being named the
city with the highest rate of poverty in America and employment rates for

FloWizard has been adopted in industrial corporations worldwide as
the CFD standard in their design departments. The Glenn Center is set to eliminate more than a
third of its work force and aircraft research programs by October 2006. The Combustion Science program has been transformed into the Fire
Prevention, Detection, and Suppression program and will be directed towards
developing engineering design data rather than purely basic research. Thank you for your attention to
this important request. If the
