CONVERGE Studio 3.0 with Solvers Convergent Science has released the highly anticipated new version of their computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, CONVERGE 3.0. CONVERGE 3.0 builds on previous versions with new features, enhancements, and expanded capabilities. One of the most notable enhancements in CONVERGE 3.0 is a dramatic improvement in scaling—users will see significant speedup when running the software on large numbers of processors. “In CONVERGE 3.0, we switched from partitioning the domain on blocks coarser than the solution grid to partitioning the solution grid directly,” says Keith Richards, co-owner of Convergent Science and one of the principal developers of CONVERGE. “This allows us to get a good load balance for any solution mesh, including those with very high levels...

ThermoAnalytics CoTherm 2020.2 CoTherm is an ambassador that facilitates the flow of information between CAE simulation products. Instead of working with complicated scripts, CoTherm lets you construct complex CAE coupling processes with an intuitive user interface allowing you to graphically monitor and automate your coupled simulation. Customize your coupling workflow within the GUI, make it as simple or as complicated as you like. You can create a completely automated process using the GUI by combining generic and process-specific tasks. CoTherm can also be extended using the API (for example to support proprietary in-house software packages which need special interfaces). The modular design of CoTherm makes it easy for a process to be built once and re-used for many different products...
