Capvidia Releases QualityVidia
LEUVEN, Belgium, August 04, 2008 - Capvidia widens the range of its PDQ products by releasing QVidia – a standalone solution for 3D CAD model quality verification.
“QVidia gives manufacturing companies the ability to evaluate, manage and maintain the data quality of CAD models to optimize the design process and enable companies to assess the quality of the models they receive for manufacturing” - says Lyle Fischer, Capvidia Technical Marketing Director.
Belgium, Leuven, 22 July 2008 – Capvidia presents results of testing multi-processor AMD Barcelona server (provided by NIAGARA Distribution Company) on complex CFD problems modeled with FlowVision-HPC (v3.06).
Niagara Distribution Company provided to our CFD team a 1U-server based on 4-core AMD processors Barcelona type for testing the server scalability on large CFD size problems. The server configuration contains 4 Quad Сore AMD Opteron 8347 processors operating at 1.9 Ghz and total memory of 56 Gb. The project was named Barcelona after the name of the processors.

Complex optimization problems can now be efficiently addressed with FlowVision HPC and IOSO NM solver. IOSO NM solver is a multi-purpose optimization solver for optimization of complex technical systems and technological processes. IOSO NM handles large dimension real-life problems defined with multi-criteria and multi-parameters:
up to 20 independent criteria or objectives
up to 100 independent design variables
An optimal solution can be obtained in a minimum time.
FormatWorks2008 Ultimate is the latest Capvidia product designed for companies with a need to extend existing SolidWorks translation capabilities and get access to CAD formats like native CATIA V4/V5.
To start you need to download and install FormatWorks2008 Ultimate data translation client (fully integrated SolidWorks add-in). Install it on your computer next to a SolidWorks 2008 license (FormatWorks Ultimate is not supported with SolidWorks 2007 and earlier versions).
FormatWorks2008 Ultimate is directly operational (only registration for download required) in a demo mode allowing you to translate 5 CAD data files from any format to SolidWorks. You can try your translations during 7 days on files < 10 Mb.

Leuven, Belgium, Wednesday, June 04, 2008 – Capvidia continues to provide innovative CFD simulation solutions with their new FlowVision (High Performance Computing) HPC release. This release features a parallel solver optimized for multi-grid and multi-core cluster configurations. An optional direct coupling with Simulia-Abaqus provides a solution for multi-physics simulation such as fluid-structure-interaction. Their focus on multi-physics applications is on-goring activity since more than decade.
“Realistic CFD simulations require not only efficient numerical implementation, but also close cooperation with industrial partners who are able to verify the simulation results with experiments. Capvidia has been working with market leaders from the tire industry and compressor manufacturers over the last 6 years to enhance FlowVision for complex multi-physics applications.” says T. Luniewski Capvidia CEO. “It is our strategy to address challenging applications in vertical markets.”
