Simerics Automotive Users’ Meeting

April 22, 2016

The Simerics Automotive Users Meeting was held in Novi, Michigan on April 15, 2016. Attendance at this meeting has been growing rapidly and included CFD analysis engineers from OEMs and suppliers such as Toyota, GM, Ford, FCA, Schaeffler, Federal Mogul, Calsonic Kansei, Roush Industries, Melling, FZB etc. Papers on component-level and system-level CFD models spanning engine sub-systems including engine lubrication, cooling and transmission were presented. The breadth and depth of applications that could be modeled using the Simerics and Pumplinx CFD software together with engaging Q&A and discussions during the breaks made it a valuable technical experience.
Simerics would like to thank all participants and presenters!
