    AirShaper Online Aerodynamics Software

    N/AN/AAirShaper is an online platform to analyse & optimize the aerodynamics of 3D models. It features a fully automated workflow, allowing users without a background in simulations to understand and improve the airflow around their design. The main inputs required from the user are the velocity, orientation and required accuracy. The software runs in the cloud, which means no hardware or software is needed and simulations can be run in parallel. AirShaper also accepts non-watertight…

    The applications that I have been using it with in terms of flow and energy and temperature distributions and coupled solvers, segregated solvers, these kind of areas if you need that, those kind of solvers, it's very good. It's very robust. Maybe on the combustion side, it could improve, especially if you have these kind of tabulated solvers that you want to use, not the detailed chemistry, then it becomes very difficult to get some results from it. And do you trust the results or not? That's always the question on that kind of application, something that I could think of really fast.

    • If you get your knobs well in the case setup, It is reasonably accurate to compare with any test data.
    • It is good for repetitive workflows where you can greatly benefit from automation in the code.
    • Single Integrated Platform can save your ass to move back and forth between multiple codes.

    Siemens AG
    • Implementing physics like Cox-Voinov model
    • Mesh related stability issues
    • Chemical & plasma physics
    • Integration with other products from Siemens (similar level as we have with Abacus)
    • Speed up the lagrangian solver
    • Improved guidence on uFluidics & evaporation models
    • Interoperability (HEEDS, AMEsim, System Modelling Workbench but also with non siemens products and open source codes required for LBM, DSMC, PIC, DFT...

    • Time saved in creating a inhouse code, tens and tens of hours.
    • Time saved in experimental setup, tens of hours.
    • Does add some time in testing to confirm star is doing what you think it's doing, but an overall net gain in productivity.
