Symscape Releases SymLab v2.0.1 for CFD

Symscape announce the release of SymLab (v2.0.1), which includes the world's first automated simulation telemetry system for posting images to TwitPic and posting associated messages (tweets) to Twitter. This new feature is useful if you want to check on the progress of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation while you are away from your simulation's host machine and you have access to Twitter. It is also a great way to share CFD simulation progress with other colleagues on Twitter in real-time.

The new TwitPic and Twitter integration is available through the following SymLab add-ons:

• Professional
• RANS Flow
• Transient

See "Telemetry Posting to TwitPic and Twitter" on how to configure the automated TwitPic and Tweeter posting for your simulations.

Also included in this update is the ability to capture movies (.avi) for multiple windows (e.g., View Window, Plot Window, Monitor Window) simultaneously.

Existing SymLab users will receive this update free through our automated update system. New users are welcome to try these enhancements with our free 30-day trials.

Symscape’s SymLab RANS Flow 2.0 Released

The new SymLab RANS Flow add-on for Windows and Linux as part of the latest release of SymLab (v2.0). SymLab is a unified simulation environment which can be extended using add-ons into a complete Computer-Aided Engineering system for fluid flow analysis.

SymLab RANS Flow

The new SymLab RANS Flow add-on can simulate realistic (viscous) gas and liquid flow with heat transfer using state-of-the-art Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). SymLab RANS Flow makes it easy to simulate complex fluid flow around and through your design with SymLab's automated meshing tools and its easy-to-use visualization tools.

SymLab RANS Flow uses a custom version of OpenFOAM¹ that is capable of simulating complex fluid flow and heat transfer over and through virtually any configuration, whether it be the external flow over a wind-turbine, aircraft, car, or a submersible, or the internal flow through a computer case, mining drill, pipe, or duct.

SymLab v2.0 Enhancements

Amongst many SymLab v2.0 enhancements, the highlights are:

• Improvements in the robustness of the triangle and tetrahedral meshing algorithms and improved quality of the meshes that both tools produce
• The quadrilateral and hexahedral meshing algorithms are no longer constrained to have equal resolution in all topological directions
• SymLab can now exploit multi-processor/core CPUs to speed up certain operations, such as the solution time for the solver used in the SymLab Panel Flow add-on

SymLab RANS Flow is also included in the SymLab Professional add-on, which provides a complete Computer-Aided Engineering system for fluid flow analysis, and contains:

• RANS Flow
• Panel Flow: use a panel method to simulate idealized (inviscid) fluid flow around streamlined shapes and through simple ducts
• Builder: create and modify 2D and 3D geometry
• Transient: explore time-dependent simulations and visualization of results
• Exchange: import and export IGES, STEP and faceted file formats
• Viz Export: export 3D results to high resolution, high quality renderers and other visualization packages
