Propulsion Open Air Test Shows
Success at Hyperloop One
Hyperloop
One has been getting lots of press lately in news channels such as
BBC, CNN, Wall Street Journal and USA Today on their first public
test showing how propulsion open air will work on a proposed
high-speed transport system. Hyperloop is a system that could send
people and cargo through tubes at the speed of sound reaching top
speeds of 700 mph. The motor concept
is designed using the SPEED™ motor design software and is connected
to HEEDS for design exploration of key design criteria. See video of Hyperloop One's
propulsion open air test.

Finding Better Treatment for
Aneurysms
Intracranial
aneurysms are estimated to occur in 2-5% of the western population.
If an aneurysm is prone to rupture, treatment is required to
prevent death or irreversible disabilities. As one minimally
invasive treatment option, flow-diverter stents are deployed below
the aneurysm sack. However, only a limited number of stent
configurations is available and each aneurysm phenotype differs
from patient to patient. HEEDS design exploration software is
applied on flow diverter geometry in finding feasible stent
configurations and identifying the optimal patient-specific
treatment. Laszlo Daroczy of Otto-von-Guericke Universität
Magdeburg will present his findings at OptimizeThis! 2016
International User Conference on October 12th.

Design Exploration of Gas Turbines
On
June 28th, AnisHaj Ayed of
B&B-AGEMA, a subject-matter expert in the use of CFD for
leading-edge GT combustion simulations will describe how STAR-CCM+®
together with HEEDS/Optimate+ enabled him to design
an innovative micro-mix hydrogen gas turbine combustor using design exploration while
limiting manufacturing costs, ensuring desired performance, and accurately predicting
NOx production. Register

Smoothing Out the Bumps in Curve
Fitting (using HEEDS MDO 2016.04)
There
are many design exploration applications where it is important for
performance results to match a certain range of values, whether it be
from experimental sources or ideal goals. For example, curves for
engine torque vs rpm, bushing deflection vs load, or wing lift vs the
angle of attack. Quite often though, the baseline curve data can
include fluctuations which makes curve fitting more challenging.
There can also be portions of the curve where it is far more
important that there be a close fit. Read
