Ansys-AQWA-v5.7c

AQWA - An Integrated System

AQWA is a fully integrated system consisting of modules for diffraction/radiation (AQWA-LINE), static and dynamic initial stability including mooring lines (AQWA-LIBRIUM), frequency domain with irregular waves (AQWA-FER), time domain with irregular waves including slow drift (AQWA-DRIFT) and non-linear time domain with regular or irregular waves (AQWA-NAUT)

These modules are encapsulated in the powerful AQWA-Graphical Supervisor
In addition an optional integrated module for coupled Cable Dynamics is available with frequency and time domain modules as well as stands alone within the AQWA-Graphical Supervisor.

Other optional Modules include AQWA-LAUNCH and AQWA-FLOAT. These perform the simulation of jacket launch and float operations during installation. The AQWA Graphical Supervisor can present results from the programs and perform animations.

Hydrodynamic Interaction between floating bodies

AQWA can take account of hydrodynamic interaction between adjacent structures. Thus the motions of one structure can affect the motions of another. The structures can be articulated, connected by cables or independent. A typical application would be shielding effects. Note that hydrodynamic interaction with forward speed is currently not available.
The colored lines between these two vessels will help to tell the user what percentage they have moved during an analysis. Brown is under 30% and yellow between 50% and 30%.

Multiple Body Articulations

AQWA has the ability to handle articulated structures. Up to 10 of these structures can be diffracting/radiating structures. Up to a further 40 can be mechanical structures such as cranes and other rigid connects etc. This permits the modeling of combined hydrodynamic and mechanical dynamic configurations. Articulations can have friction and damping included. If the mechanical connections are represented as tubes these are allowed to become wholly or partially submerged and Morison types forces calculated.
Total Capability for all Hydrodynamic Applications


AQWA is not just for moorings or diffraction radiation but is a general purpose hydrodynamics analysis suite providing enormous flexibility to address most types of problem. Examples of its use include:

Design and analysis of mooring systems
Motions analysis of FPSOs
Determination of Air Gaps
Calculation of Shielding Effects of ships and barriers
Multiple Body Interactions during LNG transfer
Coupled mooring line-structure interaction
Cable Dynamics with intermediate buoys
Splitting Force calculations for Semi-Submersibles
TLP concept design
TLP tether analysis
Dropped object trajectory calculations
Concept design and analysis of Wave Energy systems
Simulation of lifting operations between floating vessels
Discharging landing craft from mother ships
Transportation of large offshore structures using barges/ships
Float over analyses
Motions analysis of Spar vessels

Mentor-Graphics-PADS-2007.3


Mentor Graphics Corporation, (NASDAQ: MENT), the market and technology leader in printed circuit board (PCB) design solutions, announced the availability of the PADS I/O Designer(TM) product specifically targeted at its PADS(R) product user community. For designers implementing complex field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) on their PCBs, the I/O Designer(TM) product has a proven track record of decreasing design cycle time, improving performance, and lowering product costs. These same benefits are now available to the PADS product users at an aggressive entry price as the use of high density, high performance FPGAs increases across the spectrum of electronic products. For the first time the PADS I/O Designer product is being made available to the PADS community.


"Mentor Graphics has demonstrated exceptional productivity benefits in optimizing the FPGA-to-PCB integration process with I/O Designer," said Danny Biran, Altera's senior vice president of product and corporate marketing. "The introduction of I/O Designer for PADS will bring the benefits of cycle time reduction and lower PCB costs to a broader FPGA / PCB customer base. Altera's advanced FPGA technology, combined with I/O Designer for PADS, is a perfect solution for the PADS user to expand their mainstream FPGA usage."

"Providing an industry-leading integrated and concurrent FPGA / PCB design process has been a major benefit to our customers," said Henry Potts, vice president and general manager of Mentor Graphics' Systems Design Division. "Users of high-end FPGAs report time-to-market reduction and systems performance improvement of up to 50 percent, and reductions in PCB layer counts resulting in reduced product costs. With the continuing trend in electronic products of using even more high-end FPGAs, the impact of providing I/O Designer to our PADS users is significant."

The PADS I/O Designer Product
The PADS I/O Designer family provides for concurrent design of the FPGA and PCB by bridging these unique design flows and automating the various processes needed to implement today's high pin-count, high-speed FPGAs on PCBs. Starting with nothing or an early hardware design language (HDL) description or a top-level DxDesigner(TM) product, the FPGA-PCB interface is quickly defined with a variety of correct by construction, drag and drop PCB signal to FPGA pin assignment methods. The PADS I/O Designer product then synchronizes the interface across the FPGA and PCB flows through:

Automatic DxDesigner and schematic generation
Automatic generation & maintenance of required FPGA vendor files, HDL files, and synthesis constraint files
Optionally, the PADS I/O Designer product will import the PADS Layout physical design for FPGA vendor rules-driven pin swaps. When extended to PCB optimization, the PADS I/O Designer product leverages the PADS Layout physical design to drive PCB trace optimization through FPGA interface unraveling. Also available is functionality to optimize multiple FPGA interfaces simultaneously within a single PADS Layout physical design.

Mastercam.X3


What’s Coming in Mastercam X3?
T he release of Mastercam X3 is right around the corner, so we want to provide you with a peek at
some of the hot features that Mastercam X3 will be delivering to you!
Mastercam Mill
• Feature Based Machining – Mastercam’s new FBM (available for Mill Level 1 and higher) makes it
significantly easier to machine prismatic solids by automating the machining process. FBM offers
shops dramatic reductions in programming time by automatically evaluating a solid part and
programming pockets, contours, bosses, and drilling routines with minimal user input. It even
chooses appropriate tools from a list of preferred tools or libraries.
• 2D High Speed Toolpaths – A new entry to the Toolpaths menu, 2D High Speed is set of five
toolpaths optimized for high speed and hard milling. These new toolpaths use a new interface that
will eventually be expanded to include all toolpaths in the future.
• Multiaxis – General speed improvements were made in the processing time of the Multiaxis
toolpaths.

Mastercam Lathe
Tool Catalog and Library Changes –Sandvik and Kennametal® tool catalogs have been completely updated
and rebuilt. A new VTL right turret tool library was added with some basic tooling correctly oriented.

Mastercam Wire
Multiple 4-Axis Wirepaths in One Operation – You can now combine multiple 4-axis wirepaths in a single
operation by using appropriate chaining and point selection techniques.

Please remember, this is only a smal sampling of the new features that X3 has to offer – there are


important enhancements in all products. Look for the 3rd Quarter Customer Newsletter, our X3 focus issue!astercam’s Advanced Multiaxis Tools Mastercam has powerful Advanced Multiaxis
tools that you will find extremely useful when faced with generating toolpaths for 5-axis
machines.Plunge Roughing – Plunge roughing is an excellent way of removing material when you
need to use long tools. You can plunge rough in layers, picking away at material with much less
side deflection forces than conventional multi-pass operations.

Stock Recognition – This feature can really save you time. It is simple to
use and works every time! The toolpath is trimmed to the stock boundary,and you can even extend
it either by a percentageof the cutter diameter or by a specific value.Stock Recognition works
with every roughing method, including plunge roughing. One Mastercam customer shaved 60%
off cycle time on roughing one of their impellers by using the Stock Recognition feature.

Govern Cut Pattern – Mastercam has the ability to govern the cut
pattern by one set of surfaces, while cutting another. In this example,
the hub surface is used as the cut pattern. The blade surfaces are
the driver surfaces, but all cuts are parallel to the hub.
Dynamic Tool Axis Control – In the previous example, the drive surfaces are the blade and
the fillets between the blade and hub. The blade is warped, so you can use a Swarf cut. A tapered
ball nose cutter is preferred for rigidity. You can specify a side tilt angle you wish to maintain, but that would not work well on the fillet. Mastercam’s Advanced Multiaxis tools let you tilt away with a lead/lag or side tilt angle if any part of the tool (cutter, shank, arbor, or holder) gets within a specified range of any drive or check surfaces.

Morph Between 2 Curves – This very versatile toolpath strategy can be used on many different
parts.

Dynamic Incremental Tool Axis Change – This feature lets you machine the part completely in
one shot. Cuts Along Curve – You can create a line, arc, chain, or spline. Your cut pattern will be the result of perpendicular slices to it along the drive surfaces. When you are cutting ports, you don’t need to split your surfaces from one side to the next. You can simply create a spline and break it to control how far you wish to cut from either side.

LightTools 6.1


Optical Research Associates

Optical Research Associates (ORA), the Californian-based optics company, has released LightTools 6.1, an illumination design and analysis software. The software includes advanced modelling and analysis features that facilitate the design of sophisticated luminaires, LEDs, and displays. For instance, the Ray Path feature allows identification of exactly what system elements are contributing to light loss, scatter, unintentional reflections, or ghost images. This is particularly useful in the design of stray-light sensitive systems, such as microlithography steppers or astronomical instruments.

LightTools also supports accurate modelling of scattering surfaces by allowing users to apply measured BSDF data (both isotropic and anisotropic) to a surface. Additionally, the software comes with a library of BSDF data of reflective materials most commonly used in luminaire construction, including those available from companies such as Alanod and Almeco. Support for gradient index (GRIN) lenses has also been added, including radial, axial, spherical, and user-defined gradients.

Accurate modelling of LEDs with LightTools has been further extended with new ways to specify the properties of phosphors. In particular, the mean free path (the average distance that a ray will travel in a material before striking a phosphor particle) can now be described as a constant, as a wavelength-dependent quantity, or by using Mie scattering theory.

LightTools' ease of use has been enhanced with expanded foreign language support. Specifically, menus and dialogue boxes are now available in French, German, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, and Korean, in addition to Japanese, which has long been included in the software.

ANSA-V12.1.4 (C)-BETA-CAE

ANSA is an advanced CAE pre-processing tool for Finite Element Analysis that provides all the necessary functionality for full-model build up, from CAD data to ready-to-run solver input file, in a single integrated environment. ANSA is the users' favorite, due to its wide range of features and tools that meet their needs. The list of productive and versatile ANSA features is long and the alternative tasks and processes to be completed using them are countless.

CAD data Input
CAD geometry can be read in from neutral files (IGES, VDA-FS, STEP, etc.) and manipulated by ANSA's powerful built-in geometry engine. Additionally, data files in CATIA V4, CATIA V5, NX, Pro/ENGINEER and JT formats can be converted into ANSA files using the available translators.

ANSA Data Management
ANSA DM assures the effective and efficient data handling throughout projects, by streamlining updated model data to engineering teams, allowing the easy sharing of common data and offering the access to library items for the analysis dependant solution settings.

Task Manager
Integrated workflow manager. A tool where all individual tasks of the development of a vehicle simulation model are included. Tasks in Task Manager are built up from the CAE expert who sets the boundaries between distinct modeling actions and predetermines all modeling parameters that must be respected, leaving to the inexperienced user a minimum degree of interference and limited (or none) decision making.

Meshing
Following the versatile mesh area idealization, geometry can be meshed according to modeling requirements by its cutting edge, fully integrated surface and volume meshing algorithms.
The numerous proprietary shell meshing algorithms, the high performance and quality Tetra meshing algorithms, the Hexa-Interior meshing algorithm and the Acoustic Cavity mesher create a unique mesh generation environment.
Furthermore, the integrated batch meshing tool leads to controllable and effortless optimal meshing results.

Assembly
Powered with fully comprehensive parts and welding management tools, ANSA facilitates parts assembly, with alternative node-dependent or -independent connections types. The advanced exchange of connections data through vip, vip2 and xml files succeeds in the completion of a single stage parts connection.
New concepts introduced, including model hierarchy input, multiple part instances handling, alternative part representations management, model assembly and build up using Generic Entities such as Connectors, Boundary Conditions and Output requests.

Preprocessing Decks
Preprocessing completion is achieved through the uniquely interoperating preprocessing decks for NASTRAN, LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH, RADIOSS, ABAQUS Standard/Explicit and ANSYS, allowing direct model modification between solvers, including material synchronization. ANSA is multidisciplinary by design, in order to simultaneously handle models for Crash, Durability, NVH, CFD analysis etc., supporting all entities required by various solvers.
Numerous quality and integrity checks and fixes assure model quality before output.

Models reusability
Legacy FE Models can also be read in various formats and optionally refined or coarsened by the automated mesh reconstruction functionality, which has incredible capabilities. The FE models can even be modified further with a wide range of preprocessing decks functions and tools.

Safety features
Crash and safety modeling is assisted by user friendly features for seatbelt fastening, positioning and articulation of crash test dummies and "headform" models for passenger and pedestrian safety simulation standard scenarios.

Laminates
The Laminate Tool is one more enhanced function that assists the modeling of complex parts made of composite materials.

Model integrity checks
Replicating the integrity and correctness checks performed by the solvers, ANSA reports potential modeling flaws and proceeds to model auto-correction actions.

Solution control
The above, along with the user-friendly solution case scenario definition leads to the output of a ready to solve model. Apart from the formats of the solvers for which complete preprocessing decks exist, i.e. NASTRAN, LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH, RADIOSS, ABAQUS and ANSYS, numerous other file formats are supported, for structural, CFD and other solvers.

Tools
The core preprocessing functionality of ANSA is enhanced with a substantial number of other advanced tools that allow the user to complete specialized tasks without leaving the software environment. Such tools are the Cross Section Analysis Tool, the BiW Bath Traps Tool and the Fuel Tank Analysis Tool.

Morphing
One of the most advanced tools developed to meet the current needs for fast model modifications is the Morphing Tool. The ANSA Morphing Tool provides new boundaries to existing models by allowing the versatile production of alternative models based on a single master model. The tool may be used simply for evolutionary changes or sensitivity analysis.

Scripting Automation
The ANSA scripting language is an enhanced programming tool that boosts productivity providing the power to access data and perform custom operations in an automated way. The integrated ANSA environment, powered by the process automation of the scripting language, is a unique modeling solution.

Optimization
The scripting automation, combined with the Morphing Tool and other software feature allow the versatile coupling of ANSA with numerous optimization codes.
