RBF Morph at ANSYS Italian UGM 2013

RBF Morph will be a partner of the ANSYS User Group Meeting – Italia that will be held on the 20th and 21th of June in Salsomaggiore Terme (Parma) - Palazzo dei Congressi. An excellent chance to learn more about RBF mesh morphing and to understand how ANSYS Fluent CFD solver capabilities can be extended in several fields: shape parameterization as a tool for optimization and design, local surface control as a tool for advanced multi physics (FSI, ice and snow accretion), back to CAD and STL target as tools for fast connecting mesh modifications and CAD models.
We are working at a new release of RBF Morph that will come very soon with plenty of enhancements. You are warmly welcome to visit us at ANSYS booth.
Look forward to see you in Salsomaggiore!

RBF Morph at Aerospace Simulation Italian Conference

RBF Morph has been present at the Aerospace Simulation Italian Conference on the 16th April 2013 at ALENIA AERMACCHI Viale Dell'Aeronautica 80038 Pomigliano D'Arco - NA. We showed how RBF Morph can boost aircraft design: as a tool for multi physics analyses (including fluid structure interaction, and ice accretion modeling) and as a tool for shape optimization with respect to such complex multi physical models.
An interesting paper, "Shaping Up" by Piaggio Aero Industries and University of Rome Tor Vergata, has been recently published on this topic in the ANSYS Advantage Magazine. It is available on our download area and at this direct link.
