Dr Ron Cresswell, Principal Scientist at James Hardie Research in Sydney, says: "The 2007 release of the software is yet another landmark for ESI Group which shows the benefits of listening to the needs of their customers.
Many improvements in the pre-processor, CFD-GEOM, have simplified the interface without sacrificing the power of the geometric modelling and meshing tools.
New capabilities in the solver continue to keep ESI Group at the forefront of technology, and show that they are continually striving to provide tools to tackle the issues.

In others words, when you can make the difficult jobs seem easy, the impossible becomes possible.
ESI Group provides tools that do just that".
CFD-ACE+ is the best-in-class design and analysis software for simulating complex plasma processes that represent a wide range of challenges for plasma engineers.
CFD-ACE+ 2007 provides fast and accurate CFD predictions for such processes as wafer deposition and arc discharge plasma applications.
The CFD-ACE+ cavitation module is highly effective in simulating the deleterious phenomenon of cavitation that affects the performance of pumps.
With the addition of the aeration model, pump manufacturers can increase pump efficiency by precisely simulating the effects of aerated gases in liquids during the cavitation process.
Parallelisation of CFD-Fastran is made robust and easier to use in the new release.
CFD-Fastran users can now run parallel procedures through automatic set-up and control of the run environment and thus achieve a faster turnaround of results.
A key highlight of the new release is the customisation of CFD-CADalyzer for international users.
It is now available in localised languages, including Chinese and Japanese.
CFD-CADalyzer now supports Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Pro/Engineer Wildfire and IronCAD, with direct plug-ins, as well as any other CAD system that can output ACIS SAT files.
Both methods allow users to perform simulation-based design directly on their CAD models without difficulty.
The ESI Group CFD pre-/post-processor has been greatly improved in both functionality and ease of use.
The key new features include: the ability to handle trimming loops in CFD-GEOM for simplification of unstructured grid generation; a thin wall for thermal shield capability in CFD-VisCART for under-hood cooling application; and the ability to clip the ranges of cutting planes in CFD-VIEW for calculation and visualisation of a user-specified range of data.
