Magmasoft-5.1-Tutorial
Aachen, October 2010. MAGMA GmbH introduces with MAGMA5 a new generation of casting process simulation. MAGMA5 continues the series of MAGMASOFT® solutions used by foundries world-wide in order to optimize their cast component production. The software is based on more than 20 years of development, during which the Aachen based company has continued to innovate on and establish casting process simulation as a standard.
„First understand, then optimize“: following this standard, MAGMA5 delivers a profound understanding of casting processes that allows optimization along the complete process chain of the cast component. Within the software, this is made possible through different perspectives which can be used simultaneously by the user.
Integrated information and tools for simulation projects
In MAGMA5, all steps that are necessary for casting process simulation can be specified and performed from a process perspective. This allows the complete production process from geometry input, through the design of gating, risering and tooling, on to solidification and finishing processes such as heat treatment, to be described and simulated.
In the process perspective, all information about the used materials, metallurgy and melting practice, production conditions and finishing processes such as heat treatment come together. This allows the user to get a complete overview of the entire manufacturing process he wants to simulate.
Altogether, the process orientation of MAGMA5 sets the basis for a profitable manufacture of cast components – through improved casting layouts, achieving the required casting quality, and saving costs.
New simulation capabilities
MAGMA5 provides important new casting process simulation capabilities. New advanced turbulence models as well as the consideration of surface tension improve the mold filling prediction for gravity castings. And, tracer particles can be modeled with mass and size to evaluate slag inclusions. Burn-on and penetration criteria help identify sand related surface defects. Moreover, a new module for the simulation of as-cast local microstructures and properties of aluminum alloys is available with MAGMAnonferrous. The stress module MAGMAstress has also been completely reworked and for the first time offers the option to simulate thermally induced casting stresses for the complete manufacturing route. A new and comprehensive plasticity model provides improved accuracy, because it considers temperature-dependent as well as time-dependent effects on stresses and strains.
Clearly presented results
Simulation results such as 3D graphics, diagrams, and tables can be shown in multiple views and can be displayed in selectable levels of detail. This means that results can be evaluated reliably in order to allow an optimization of cast components and casting processes.
New software architecture secures future developments
The new methodology that MAGMA5 provides is mirrored in the software architecture. Technically, the software is built on a completely new platform and, as it is also modularly extendable and scalable, it offers development potential for the coming years. Due to standard interfaces that allow the free import and export of data, MAGMA5 can be completely integrated into the user’s work environment.
With MAGMA5, new hardware and operating systems offer new opportunities. MAGMA5 is fully native Windows compliant and runs on 64-bit Windows operating systems, offering the advantage of greatly increased memory access. For Linux users, MAGMA5 is available for the current SUSE and RedHat Linux Enterprise distributions. MAGMA5 supports multi-core architectures effectively. The combination of MAGMA5 and the latest hardware (Core i7/Neharlem CPU) results in a reduction of simulation times by up to a factor of 5.
With the currently released MAGMA5 Version 5.0 all important sand casting processes are supported. The simulation of permanent mold and die casting processes including gravity die casting is available with MAGMA5 Version 5.1.

FEFLOW-v6.06-crack-tutorial
What is FEFLOW?
FEFLOW is a professional software package for modeling fluid flow and transport of dissolved constituents and/or heat transport processes in the subsurface.
FEFLOW contains pre- and post processing functionality and an efficient simulation engine. A user-friendly graphical interface provides easy access to the extensive modeling options.
FEFLOW is a completely integrated system from simulation engine to graphical user interface. It also includes a public programming interface for user code.
Application Examples
FEFLOW is suitable for numerous different applications in flow and transport processes simulation in porous media, ranging from lab scale to continental scale. A few typical examples are listed here:
Groundwater Management
Geothermal Energy (Deep and Near-Surface)
Mine Water Management
Geotechnical Applications
Industrial Porous Media Design
Survey of Saltwater Intrusion
Study of Pollutant Dispersion
Coupled Groundwater/Surface-Water Simulation (Linkage with DHI MIKE11)
Flexible mesh generators
Finite-element discretization allows to use complex unstructured meshes that closely match natural structures while obeying requirements such as element size, element angles, etc. For large modeling areas, generation is supported by sophisticated automation algorithms to ensure efficient work. Automatically generated meshes also have to be adapted to internal geographical structures, like rivers or well locations.
As any single mesh generation approach cannot be expected to perform optimally under all conditions, FEFLOW offers a number of different mesh-generation algorithms and different options of user influence on the generation process.
Parallel computing
Transient calculations of complex regional models for long time periods require significant computational effort. Long simulation times can occur, even using the latest hardware available. Parallel processing allows a significant reduction in CPU times on multiple-processor platforms. In FEFLOW tasks of parallel structure as matrix assembly are processed in parallel on the different CPUs.
Finite-element method
Spatial discretization of the study area is a prerequisite for any numerical modeling. Classic groundwater simulation codes use finite difference discretization. In contrast, FEFLOW is based on the finite-element technique.
Major advantages of finite-element modeling include:
Unstructured meshing, thus much better representation of features like rivers, fractures, well locations by adaptation of the mesh
Better representation of sloping layers and anisotropy
Local mesh refinement without having to refine the whole column/row
Moving meshes for free-surface calculations
Automatic mesh refinement and coarsening
Less computational effort due to reduced element numbers for large regional models
Broad range of small-scale and large-scale applications
GIS/CAD interface
In most practical applications, the basic spatial data are available either in GIS (e.g., ESRI formats) file format or in a CAD-like format (e.g., AutoCAD exchange format). Direct import of these data formats helps to avoid intermediate conversion routines for transferring the basic data to the groundwater model. In the post processing step, data are easily transferred back to the GIS or CAD system to provide the results in data formats compliant to the project framework. FEFLOW can handle GIS as well as CAD data for import and export at all stages of modeling, e.g., to provide geographical input for mesh generation, parameter distribution, etc. Where appropriate, different regionalization methods are provided to transfer the basic data to the finite elements or mesh nodes. Using GIS files, attribute data can be directly transferred to the groundwater model. Alternatively, all data input can be performed manually or by importing ASCII files.
Up-to-date visualization tools
The days of presenting modeling results in large tables of figures are long gone. Today’s customers expect elaborate isoline maps, pathline diagrams, cross-sectional and 3D views and animations, which can also be used to present complex hydrogeologic conditions to the public.
FEFLOW addresses that need by its planar, cross-sectional and 3D visualization features.
Using FEFLOW three-dimensional visualizations of all model parameters and modeling results (like movements of contaminant plumes, etc.) can be produced.

COADE-PVElite-V2011
PV Elite 2011 Main Features:
Modeling of ASME VIII-1 Jacketed Vessels
What this feature does - Delivers an integrated approach leveraging the 3D model and calculations in the modeling of jacketed vessels (ASME App. 9) and vapor/distribution belts.
How this feature used - Jackets or vapor belts can be added as details on cylindrical elements. Jackets can also span across element boundaries.
How this feature benefits you - Previously you would have to model the inner core vessel and the jacket sections as separate PV Elite models and then manually transfer the parameters between them. The same holds true for nozzles on the outer jacket and also the inner shell.
The old approach meant that results would reside in two or more places, meaning that reports would have to be manually combined. Moreover, you would have to apply correction factors to get correct combined wind and seismic loads. Another option would be to model the jacket/vapor belt in CodeCalc™, but then these items will excluded from any wind/seismic/support, and other calculations.
Why this is better than the old way of doing things
For starters it’s easier and quicker. With all the data in one model, there is less chance of errors from multiple inputs plus PV Elite automatically accounts for important interactions between the core vessel and jacket(s). The real-time 3D model, with intuitive sectioning capabilities, allows the on-screen display of the inner vessel plus jacket(s), which is a great in visualizing tool.
Modeling Tubesheet as Simply Supported
What this feature does - This feature provides an alternative method for modeling the welded joint between the tubesheet and shell or the tubesheet and channel cylinders, which can have the effect of reducing stress thereby producing a more economical design.
How this feature used - It is one of the optimization options available in the tubesheet tab of Heat Exchanger dialog.
How this feature benefits you - The tubesheet to shell or tubesheet channel junction is place of high stress. This alternative, permitted by the ASME code, gives you the option to produce a more economical, but also safe, design.
Why this is better than the old way of doing things - This new capability’s potentially more economical design option was not previously available in PV Elite. This meant that, in some cases, exchanger designers were limited to more conservative analysis therefore leading to more costly designs.
ASME Code Updates.
What this feature does
This feature includes all the rule updates in the ASME code addenda and material updates. The Imperial tables were completely re-created and the Metric ASME material tables were added.
CMG-2011-CMG-Technologies-Lanncher
MG (Computer Modelling Group Ltd.) is a computer software engineering and consulting firm engaged in the development, sale and technology transfer of reservoir simulation software.
CMG began as a company known for its expertise in heavy oil, and expanded its expertise into all aspects of reservoir flow modelling. Over the past 32 years, CMG has remained focused on the development and delivery of reservoir simulation technologies that assist oil and gas companies to determine reservoir capacities and maximize potential recovery.
To this end, we are continually improving our market-leading line of reservoir simulation technologies to better reflect the changing needs of our users.
CMG is a world-class software company traded on the TSX Stock Exchange under the symbol CMG. With over 400 oil and gas companies and consulting firms in more than 50 countries, CMG is one of the largest independent providers of reservoir simulation software in the world.
CMOST is the latest product offering in the CMG software suite. It is a state-of-the-art reservoir engineering optimization tool, employing innovative experimental design, sampling and optimization techniques to efficiently determine the reservoir parameters which define the production and ultimate recovery of oil and gas fields.
CMG’s Builder creates the base-case reservoir model as the first step in the process.
CMOST generates simulation runs automatically from the base model, then submits and analyzes the runs that are created from a range of values for multiple reservoir parameters specified by the engineer.
CMOST learns which values produce the best results enabling it to dramatically reduce the number of runs required to find the optimal solution. This is the fastest technique for an accurate history match(es) and reliable production forecasts.
CMOST improves the effectiveness of each reservoir engineer by eliminating the tedious labor of individual case generation for hundreds of scenarios. It allows them to focus on the high value effort of interpretation and evaluation of results.
CMOST’s power lies in modern experimental design and optimization algorithms which vary multiple parameters simultaneously to find the optimal solution – something a human cannot do.
CMOST dispatches to a cluster of computers or a single computer and interprets the results of numerous runs, terminates non-physical solutions and narrows the search space rapidly to reach not just local maximums or minimums, but the ultimate best case. Solutions to reservoir models with trillions of possible combinations and permutations can often be found in fewer than 1000 runs.
CMOST helps engineers create more accurate models in dramatically less time and allows asset managers to have a greater degree of confidence in the forecasts, multiplying the team’s effectiveness many fold.

Well-Test Analysis Software
3
The task of designing, executing and analyzing a well test
depends on operating conditions as well as completion
and reservoir type. PanSystem software analyzes a wide
range of situations and asset types.
• Low-pressure reservoirs, heavy oil: Wellbore fll-up
and leak-off tests, steam-injection tests
• Pumping wells: Acoustically derived pressures and rates
• Medium oil reservoirs: Conventional drawdown and
buildup tests
• Gas wells: Conventional analysis using real gas
pseudo-pressure, turbulent skin analysis for high-rate
wells, and gas well deliverability by empirical (C-and-n)
and LIT methods. (In depletion scenarios, gas properties
are revised as reservoir pressure declines.)
• Volatile oil/condensate reservoirs: Conventional
analysis techniques or use of multiphase pseudo-
pressure to model phase behavior and its effect on
relative permeability (in particular, liquid dropout or gas
breakout around wellbore)
• Hydrothermal wells: Steam production, water injection
• Gas- and water-injection wells: Injection and falloff
tests, including multiregion analysis to enable mobile
phase changes and temperature effects
• Interference tests: Inter-well permeability and ΦCt
product from type-curve analysis and/or history
matching by simulation
• Multilayered reservoirs: Conventional analysis or
specialized testing technique (MLT) using selective
fowmeter data
• Varying rate tests: Rates measured on surface or with
a downhole fowmeter
• Permanent downhole (or surface) gauges: Special
pressure decline analysis (PDA) section to analyze
long-term pressure and rate records for hydrocarbons
in place; deconvolution to reveal nature of the reservoir
and boundary models otherwise obscured by rate
changes and shut-ins
• Wireline formation tests: Analysis of pre-test, pump-out,
mini-DST, and vertical interference tests using dual- and
packer-probe analytical models (including special LAS and
DPK format data import)
From large-scale reservoir characterization to monitoring
of individual well performance, PanSystem’s well-
test analysis provides information for many important
operational decisions.
• Workover: Completion effciency from skin factor and
early time derivative shape; open interval length for
stimulation or reperforation; fracture quality
• Reservoir characterization: Horizontal permeability (from
kh
); vertical permeability; boundaries and heterogeneities;
gas cap/aquifer support; pressure support from a second
compartment; layering for reservoir model refnement and
feld-development planning
• Reserves estimation: Extended production test; long-
term fowing pressure record (with permanent downhole
gauge); buildup testing for reservoir model refnement
and feld-development planning
• Production performance prediction: Single well
forward prediction with material balance included for
feld-development planning
• Reservoir pressure decline: for feld-developmen
