Hence, to increase the performance of those rotors while reducing vibration and noise, high-fidelity aeroelastic simulations are a key enabler for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2206 offers a fully automated rotor blade aeroelasticity workflow that provides a high-fidelity solution with minimum user effort. The new workflow is automatically linking and mapping to all common industry-standard rotor blade structural mechanics solvers, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flightlab.com\/grcas.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RCAS<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/johnson-aeronautics.com\/CAMRADII.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAMRAD II<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dymoresolutions.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DYMORE<\/a>, or\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flightlab.com\/flightlab.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flightlab<\/a> with the ability to adapt to other software tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a file-based coupling, aerodynamic forces and moments from the blades stemming from transient aerodynamic simulations are automatically mapped to a beam representation throughout a full rotation.\u202fThe structure dynamics solver\u202fin turn computes elastic blade deformations under those loads.\u202fThe co-simulation autonomously iterates until the overall system is converged for both the structure and\u202fflow field enabling engineers to easily gain insights into the complex aeroelastic behavior of rotors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-medium-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/simcenter\/rotor-blade-aeroelasticity-to-the-rescue\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find out more about rotor blade aeroelasticity<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#009999\">Get rapid and convenient insight in thermoacoustic stability of combustion systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/Acoustic-modal-solver-with-thermoacoustic-n-tau-model.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We consider thermoacoustics the coupling between pressure and heat release oscillations. This phenomenon continues to be a challenging design consideration especially as the use of Hydrogen extends in the face of tightened emissions requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrogen enrichment has been reported to shift regions of thermoacoustic instabilities to lower equivalence ratios and flame temperatures. This implies that a gas turbine combustor that is dynamically stable at a given equivalence ratio or flame temperature may be rendered dynamically unstable and vice versa as a result of hydrogen addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2206, we introduce an acoustic modal solver with the thermoacoustic n-tau model. This solver delivers engineers a rapid and convenient insight in thermoacoustic stability of the combustion systems. The approach avoids the need to export flow solutions to external tools for further analysis. Indeed, we can easily execute the modal solver as a post-processing step using the solution field from steady-state RANS simulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons alignwide is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-medium-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/simcenter\/reacting-flows-and-combustion-computational-fluid-dynamics-cfd-with-simcenter-star-ccm\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">Read more about Combustion Simulation in Simcenter STAR-CCM+<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:74px;aspect-ratio:unset;\" id=\"Explore-the-possibilities\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-39079\" alt=\"Explore the possibilities\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/MicrosoftTeams-image-13.png\" style=\"object-position:39% 64%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"39% 64%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/MicrosoftTeams-image-13.png 1920w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/MicrosoftTeams-image-13-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/MicrosoftTeams-image-13-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/MicrosoftTeams-image-13-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/MicrosoftTeams-image-13-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/MicrosoftTeams-image-13-395x222.png 395w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/MicrosoftTeams-image-13-900x506.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Explore the possibilities<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#009999\">Quickly explore performance maps for rotating machines,\u202fpropellers, airfoils, and alike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/videos.mentor-cdn.com\/mgc\/videos\/5400\/3d97a66c-0cae-4991-9cc8-d49db606b712-en-US-video.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Many applications such as airfoils or rotating machines, like pumps, compressors, or propellers all share a sudden nonlinear response of their performance metrics like lift, drag, and efficiency under the variation of a critical operating parameter, such as the angle of attack or the mass flow throughput.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Identifying those critical turning points in performance maps is one of the most important engineering tasks to ensure safe and reliable operation of such systems. However, carrying out required performance sweeps to find the peak lift of an airfoil\u200b\u200b or generating the speed lines for rotating machinery, while essential, all traditionally come at a high price. Even if sweeps can generally be automated, narrowing down those stalling and choking points, with the required level of precision, and under various operating conditions can be a very time-consuming job. Both in terms of engineering and computational time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the new smart sweep feature in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2206, you can now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>automate smarter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>faster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and more efficient design sweeps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>for applications that need to capture those critical turning points in performance maps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fully embedded into design manager, the smart sweep automatically adapts the stepping parameter to narrow in on the target.\u202fThe sweep autonomously bisects the stepping parameter to resolve the sweep in the area of interest in the parameter space e.g., use bisecting to detect the onset of compressor surge\u200b\u200b. Stopping criteria based on response values can be used to avoid infeasible cases.\u202f\u200bAnd, to further speed up the time to solution and increase convergence robustness, previous design results can be used for initialization of subsequent sweep points in the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to those smart sweeps tackling sophisticated industry-related exploration campaigns and the simulation-based creation of accurate performance maps for rotating machines, propeller curves, airfoil stall angle\u200b, etc. has never been easier, more precise, and yet faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-medium-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/simcenter\/performance-map-cfd-the-art-of-clever-digging\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">Find out more about Smart Sweeps <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:50px;aspect-ratio:unset;\" id=\"Go-faster\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-38918\" alt=\"Smart Sweeps Propeller\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/SmartSweeps_Propeller.png\" style=\"object-position:55% 60%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"55% 60%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/SmartSweeps_Propeller.png 1920w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/SmartSweeps_Propeller-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/SmartSweeps_Propeller-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/SmartSweeps_Propeller-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/SmartSweeps_Propeller-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/SmartSweeps_Propeller-395x222.png 395w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/06\/SmartSweeps_Propeller-900x506.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Go faster<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#009999\">Seamlessly leverage the power of symmetry with Idealization Transforms for data mappers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/videos.mentor-cdn.com\/mgc\/videos\/5400\/bb6f132c-77e2-4b35-9375-3393ba6e658f-en-US-video.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since smart simulation engineers have been leveraging symmetries to reduce the computational effort and speed up the time to solution without compromising simulation fidelity. And despite increasing availability of high-performance compute power such smart leveraging of symmetry in an engineering problem will always remain a key to time and cost-efficient engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, even if the symmetry assumption is valid, running idealized models such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a 2D or 3D sector<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an axisymmetric representation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>or a half model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>come with a challenge when they are required for subsequent usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For idealizations to feed full configuration simulations as an initial condition, a boundary condition or in a co-simulation, the required mapping of data, that ensure the correct transformations from idealized to full model used to be a time-consuming and error-prone procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Idealization transforms for data mappers in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2206, we now enable engineers to go significantly faster creating full-configuration solution from idealized models through easy-to-use data mapper transforms. Without any user intervention required, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/en\/products\/simcenter\/STAR-CCM.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Simcenter STAR-CCM+<\/a> automatically creates respective Idealization transforms, whenever an idealization is introduced in the setup. For example, when a part is meshed as two-dimensional when a periodic contact or interface is introduced, or a half model is created, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/en\/products\/simcenter\/STAR-CCM.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Simcenter STAR-CCM+<\/a> will immediately create a periodic, extrusion, or symmetry idealization transform respectively. Even compositions of several transforms are recognized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those idealization transforms allow users to map and interpolate data from source to target with a single click. This enables engineers to go faster from idealized to full configurations to seamlessly leverage the power of symmetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-medium-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/simcenter\/a-swiss-knife-and-a-light-backpack-thats-how-i-travel-quickly\/?spr_cid=120_697&amp;spr_pid=300000298735730&amp;linkId=300000002722399&amp;_ref=c3ByX2NpZD0xMjBfNjk3JnNwcl9waWQ9MzAwMDAwMjk4NzM1NzMwJmxpbmtJZD0zMDAwMDAwMDI3MjIzOTk%3D\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">Read more about idealization transforms for data mappers<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#009999\">Instant access to practically unlimited compute, direct from your desktop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/videos.mentor-cdn.com\/mgc\/videos\/5400\/66ee8f98-193f-4107-8b6a-cfa4b5521fe9-en-US-video.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Running CFD simulations on the cloud offers increased flexibility and scalability over on-premise hardware, with on-demand access and unlimited capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, setting up and accessing the cloud using 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party providers often:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>requires significant expertise in cloud and HPC technologies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and interrupts existing workflows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With Simcenter Cloud HPC, we are offering our users a seamless experience for simulation in the cloud.
