An interesting article titled High fidelity fluid-structure interaction by radial basis functions mesh adaption of moving walls: a workflow applied to an aortic valve has been published on the Journal of Computational Science, available online February 2021, doi: 10.1016/j.jocs.2021.101327. Abstract Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) can be investigated by means of non-linear Finite Element Models (FEM), suitable to […]

Today the need for developing multi-physics approaches in order to address modern and complex design challenges is rising. A typical multi-physics phenomenon is the interaction between a fluid and a structure, that occurs according to the following options: it can be the working principle of the considered component, it can be due to the lightweight […]

We are so proud to have participated at Simulation Summit, the first independent Italian conference about CAE Simulation in the industrial field, whose goal is to promote an aware and effective use of simulation. Click here to download our presentation “Advanced radial basis function mesh morphing of RBF Morphfor LS-DYNA enabled in AnsysMechanical”.

Two companion papers, summarizing the numerical/experimental activity performed within the RIBES project, have been accepted for publication in ASCE’s Journal of Aerospace Engineering after a long peer review process. The first work, titled “Wind Tunnel Model Design and Aeroelastic Measurements of the RIBES Wing” recall the setup of the aeroelastic experimental campaign performed on the […]

BIOMA is a key conference specifically focusing on bioinspired optimisation methods and their applications. This international conference provides an opportunity to the global research community in bioinspired optimisation to discuss recent research results and develop new ideas and collaborations in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. In the speech titled Bio-Inspired Optimization Based on BGM and […]

RBF Morph joined the 36th International CAE Conference and Exhibition that was held online from November 30th to December 4th 2020 and participated as a Silver Exhibitor. The theme for this year’s edition iwas “At the epicenter of the digital transformation of industry” and this virtual evolution of the event greatly highlighted this strategic role. […]

An interesting article titled A Novel Formulation for the Study of the Ascending Aortic Fluid Dynamics with In Vivo Data has been published on the Medical Engineering & Physics  (available online 18 September 2020). Numerical simulations to evaluate thoracic aortic hemodynamics include a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) approach or fluid-structure interaction (FSI) approach. While CFD neglects […]

At Esteco UM20 our CTO Marco E. Biancolini  showed how advanced mesh morphing allows creating a set of shape variations which intensities can be combined to get the resulting performance together with its derivatives, thanks to the adjoint sensitivity. The computational cost (a CFD run and an adjoint one) stays the same whatever is the number […]

CAD and CAE model update on manufactured shapes is a key process in the industry 4.0, where design, manufacturing and maintenance are integrated elements. Digital Twin models, together with Reverse Engineering techniques, allow tracking components performances during production and verifying the compliance with design requirements during the component lifetime. The need to have RE processes […]
