Company Bio:
CD-adapco is the leading global provider of full-spectrum engineering simulation (CAE) solutions for fluid flow, heat transfer and stress, including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD/CAE) flow, thermal, and stress software, CAD-embedded CFD options, and CAE consulting services and training. Its principal offices are in New York, London and Yokohama with subsidiary offices across the world.

Products:
CD-adapco’s solutions (software and related consulting services, training, and mentoring) are widely used across many industries, including oil and gas, chemical process, marine, offshore structures, turbomachinery, automotive, aerospace, building systems, electronics, environmental, pharmaceuticals, power generation, rail, and specialized mechanical engineering applications. The technology-leading Computational Fluid Dynamics flow, thermal, and stress simulation (CFD/CAE) STAR codes have outstanding capabilities for handling complex fluid flow and heat transfer problems including transient flows, chemical reaction, free-surface flows, combustion, rotating systems, multiphase and multiphysics.

There are four ways in which CD-adapco delivers its CFD technology in software:

  • STAR-CCM+ is a radically new full-spectrum CFD/CAE processing environment that features the latest object-oriented methods and ergonomically designed GUI for streamlined integration into any company's engineering process. Solutions on polyhedral cells enable faster and more accurate solutions than any other of the world’s legacy CFD codes.
  • STAR-CD remains the world’s most advanced CFD code, comes with advanced pre-processing tools, and is now enhanced by the inclusion of any one of the environments from the STAR-CAD Series.
  • STAR-CAD Series is a range of products that deliver non-complex CFD in an easy to use CAD-embedded environment
  • Expert Systems (‘es-solutions’) are application-specific bundles that talk the specific engineering language required. They can be viewed as ‘packaged consultancy’ since they are honed for solving particular application challenges.

SYSTEM 7 Process Explorer® provides powerful flowsheet simulation capabilities using a field proven simulation and flash engine based on the API Technical Data Book and the Dortmund Data Bank (DDB) thermodynamic methods and thermophysical property data. The Dortmund Data Bank Software Package is included with SYSTEM 7 to regress binary interaction parameters using either experimental data or estimated using a UNIFAC group contribution method. The DDB Artist Property Estimation software provides reliable property estimations by simply drawing its chemical structure.

The 40th Anniversary Edition of the popular API Tech Data BookTM (8th Edition) includes 16 chapters of the Data Book in searchable text format along with 20 software applications specifically designed to calculate over 130 recommended API methods. Navigate through the electronic version of the Data Book using the Data Book ExplorerTM to quickly find a desired API procedure. New features of the 8th edition include flowsheet simulation of basic processes and pure component property estimation by drawing the molecular structure.

The DDB Process Synthesis software package automates the prediction of homogeneous and heterogeneous azeotropic compositions in multicomponent mixtures, calculates contour lines, and calculates residual curves in mixtures with or without chemical reaction in up to 4 component mixtures (2D and 3D diagrams) using a large variety of built-in thermodynamic models. In addition, it is also possible to automatically scan for entrainers for extractive or heteroazeotropic distillation or extraction using the Dortmund Data Bank (DDB) or available thermodynamic models like UNIFAC, mod. UNIFAC, etc.
