Dennis Nagy, VP Marketing & Business Development

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.

Israel “Izzy” Perez, Sales Manager

Company Bio:
Codeware is the leading provider of software for the design and analysis of ASME Section VIII pressure vessels and heat exchangers.  Since 1985, Codeware’s Engineers have focused exclusively on meeting the engineering software needs of designers and users of vessels and exchangers. Over 1,000 companies currently rely on Codeware products.

Products:
COMPRESS© simplifies ASME VIII-1 and ASME VIII-2 pressure vessel design and analysis. COMPRESS can handle virtually any vessel geometry from single components to complex multiple diameter towers. This flexibility makes COMPRESS ideal for use in new construction, re-rating existing equipment and performing mechanical integrity calculations. COMPRESS generates both detailed and abbreviated reports, the former suitable for use as a calculation audit trail. An XML output feature facilitates third party access to input data and calculated results. COMPRESS also produces arrangement drawings that may be exported as DXF or DWG files. Both the US customary and Metric editions of ASME II-D are covered.

COMPRESS Exchanger© is a powerful tool for heat exchanger design and analysis. Exchanger operates in conjunction with COMPRESS and addresses both TEMA and ASME UHX rules.  To reduce data input, COMPRESS Exchanger features an interactive, bi-directional interface to HTRI’s Xchanger Suite®. Codeware’s Tube Layout© is included to assist in optimizing tube count and placement.

Vessel Drafter© converts files generated by COMPRESS into fabrication ready drawings. Vessel Drafter supports AutoCAD© releases 2000 through 2005.

Vessel Coster© produces reliable vessel cost estimates from COMPRESS models. Vessel Coster’s extensive database allows it to be customized to reflect your company’s unique needs.
