  The presentations given by RBF Morph team at  33th edition of International CAE Conference  that was held in Vicenza (Italy) 6-7 November 2017, can be download in the Presentations and Proceedings 2017. The papers will be published shortly.    

In this paper the solution of industrial aerodynamic shape optimization problems using the optimization methods provided by the RBF4AERO platform, developed in the framework of the EU–funded RBF4AERO project, is demostred. The platform provides a complete infrastructure needed for optimization problems, including GUI, Optimization Algorithms, CFD Solvers, Morpher Tool and Benchmark Management System. Both stochastic and […]

  A new article about RBF Morph has been published on the Italian journal “Analisi e Calcolo” n° 81 Jul. 2017. The case study of the Generic Turbine Blade created and made available from ANSYS Inc., shows the advantages of mesh morphing tecnique and meets the needs of the turbomachinery industry. Abstract: Il mesh morphing […]

  A new application of RBF Morph was presented at The Italian Chapter of the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB-ITA) which held in Rome (Italy) in September 28-29, 2017. The aim of study is to propose a novel computational approach built up by integrating patient specific images and flow data with RBF morphing techniques into FE simulations An image-based and […]
