SIMERICS Chinese Distributors & Customers Training Sessions
Several online training sessions were conducted between February and March 2020 to the Chinese distributors. They acquired a comprehensive and deep understanding of new capabilities of Simerics-MP/MP+. The topics included simulation solutions in the field of PD pumps & compressors, automotive vehicle and powertrain, heat transfer and so on.
During April and May, Simerics, Inc. hosted a series of webinars presenting new applications of Simerics-MP/MP+ to Chinese customers representing various industries. The webinar series not only received positive responses from customers, but also the customers showed a great interest in topics presented, indicating interest in advanced trainings, and software trials.

SP80’s partnership with Orca3D and Simerics: a step towards hull’s optimization
While the world is tearing apart due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, our team is still working as hard as before to keep the three years SP80 project objectives. Now that teleworking is mandatory almost worldwide, SP80’s partnership with Orca3D and Simerics has enabled the possibility for faster and easier CFD computation from home.
Orca3D Marine CFD is the result of a collaboration between two American software specialists: Orca3D and Simerics, Inc. It combines naval architecture (Orca3D) and CFD (Simerics) softwares. Its designers have bet on the facility and user-friendly aspects for their product, allowing quick alternative designs simulations without the long learning curve typically associated with CFD.
“Orca3D Marine CFD is providing additional knowledge about how to make the SP80 sailboat go very fast without the past requirement of having a PhD in CFD” insured Rich Moore, Executive Vice President, Strategy, OEMs, Partners, at Simerics, Inc. For us, its main asset will be the facility and velocity of CFD hull simulations with respect to other CFD softwares. Furthermore, it will particularly allow to save time when defining a set-up and also to quickly study several shapes and parameters.
“Orca3D Marine CFD will be essential for our future work” commented Anaëlle Manon and Charles de Sarnez, two members of the SP80 fluid dynamics team. We will start by using it for the Velocity Prediction Program data generation. It will afterwards allow us to simulate different parameters’ influences, such as pitch, yaw or speed on the hull we already have. The results are going to be used to improve the VPP’s precision, which will in turn permit a study on the hull’s shape optimization.

SP80, Simerics, and Orca3D Partner to Create the World’s Fastest Sailboat.
Orca3D Marine CFD is enabling SP80 to break the current world record of 65.45 knots by a sailboat using CFD software
BELLEVUE, WA March 2 2020 – Orca3D and Simerics, developing Orca3D Marine CFD, are collaborating with SP80 as part of their sailboat design project to break Paul Larsen’s sailing speed record set in 2012. Started in 2019, SP80 has a four-year plan to develop, build, and tune their revolutionary boat using CFD to break the current record. Using CFD is allowing SP80 to quickly simulate alternative designs with Orca3D Marine CFD software without the long learning curve typically associated with CFD. SP80 boat design leverages super-ventilating hydrofoils and an innovative kite power management system. The SP80 design team can now use Orca3D Marine CFD to better understand this particular sailboat and how to make it go faster without the need to become a CFD specialist.
By working together, Simerics, Inc. and Orca3D have enabled SP80 to test different boat designs and also save thousands of hours of water testing by using CFD simulation software.
“SP80 will be the first sailboat to ever reach the speed of 80knots. Therefore, understanding how it reacts within its environment is a crucial mission. At these speeds, you can’t afford to just build, test, crash and learn. We must have a precise idea of the dynamic stability of our hull while minimizing its drag. This is what Orca 3D Marine CFD simulations will enable us to achieve.” said Xavier Lepercq, co-founder of SP80 and CTO. “We are very excited to use Orca3D Marine CFD simulation to break the world’s sailing speed record and help sailboat designers around the world gain even more confidence in applying CFD to their sailboat designs, just as we are doing with SP80.”
“Orca3D Marine CFD is providing additional knowledge about how to make the SP80 sailboat go very fast without the past requirement of having a PhD in CFD. In other words, CFD experience not required for Naval Architects and Marine Engineers,” said Rich Moore, Executive Vice President, Strategy, OEMs, Partners, at Simerics, Inc.
