ESI Group's New CFD Simulation Software Recognized as One of the Most Innovative Product in the Field of Design Engineering

CFD-CADalyzer wins December Desktop Engineering readers' choice award by enabling design engineers to easily simulate and optimize fluid flow behavior

Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, February 19, 2004: ESI Group announces that CFD-CADalyzer was the winner of Desktop Engineering readers' choice award for December. Each issue Desktop Engineering gives the readers' choice award to the product that has received the most reader interest.

Thanks to the recent acquisition of CFDRC's product division, ESI Group has enhanced its product portfolio with new virtual engineering software including CFD-CADalyzer, Computational Flow Dynamics (CFD) software for design engineers, CFD-ACE+ for advanced CFD and multiphysics simulation, CFD-FASTRAN, CFD software specifically designed for the aerospace industry, and CFD-VISCART for the generation of viscous, Cartesian meshes.

Mike Nieburg, business development manager, ESI Group, said: "CFD-CADalyzer is a dramatically different CFD simulation package. Combining design and analysis, this product will catalyze the increased focus on "getting it right first time" at the early conceptual design phase of product development. Design engineers and analysts need not just finite element analysis, but CFD to create winning products".

"From my initial work with CFD-CADalyzer, I really like it. The ability to work with my 3D modeler and then generate a mesh with CADalyzer is outstanding", said Craig Lanning, Professional Research Assistant at the Cardiovascular Flow and Imaging Research Laboratory at Denver's Children's Hospital.

CFD-CADalyzer provides an enhanced decision-making tool that can be used at the early conceptual and detailed design stages of product development. The product allows parametric studies using the CAD system for geometry changes, letting designers assess the potential performance of multiple design variants.

Main capabilities include modelling of 3D fluid flow and heat transfer in fluids, solids and porous media with complex geometry; laminar or turbulent flow; and compressible and incompressible fluids. Other features include automatic mesh creation and compatibility to CFD-ACE+, for advanced multiphysics simulations. CFD-CADalyzer works with ACIS- or Parasolid-based Mechanical CAD applications, such as Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, and Unigraphics.

About ESI Group 

ESI Group is a pioneer and world leading provider of digital simulation software for prototyping and manufacturing processes that take into account the physics of materials. ESI Group has developed an entire suite of coherent, industry-oriented applications to realistically simulate a product's behavior during testing, to fine tune the manufacturing processes in synergy with the desired product performance, and to evaluate the environment's impact on product usage. ESI Group's product portfolio, which has been industrially validated and combined in multi-trade value chains, represents a unique collaborative, virtual engineering solution, known as the Virtual Try-Out Space (VTOS), enabling a continuous improvement on the virtual prototype. By drastically reducing costs and development lead times, VTOS solutions offer major competitive advantages by progressively eliminating the need for physical prototypes. With revenues close to 43 million euros in fiscal year 2002, ESI Group (Nouveau Marché: Euronext Paris - Software - Euroclear 6584 - Bloomberg ESI FP - Reuters ESIG.LN) employs over 400 high-level specialists worldwide. The company and its global network of agents provide sales and technical support to customers in more than 30 countries.
