David Yáñez presents at the UK ATC 2019. Vortex Bladeless is a Spanish start-up that is developing a new wind energy technology. Its key characteristic is the minimization of mechanical elements that can be worn by friction. In the first stage, its application area seems to be distributed energy. For its development, CFD tools are being of vital importance. Both the fluid-structure interaction and the behavior of the magnetic fields in the alternator are being studied mainly with this type of tool. The results obtained are being contrasted with experimental results obtained both in wind tunnel and in real application environments.

A general vision of the technology, the strategies used for the integration of the different physical phenomena involved and the path traveled for its development will be exposed.

Milsoft Visual Analytics is a powerful business analytics module developed by Altair in partnership with Milsoft Utility Solutions. Through a direct integration of Altair’s SmartSight™ business intelligence software with the Milsoft database schema, this business analytics module provides a rich set of dynamic reports/dashboards which can be tailored to address the unique business needs of each utility.

Learn how GE uses Altair PBS Professional™ in this case study. “Altair looked at the configuration of our cluster and suggested a way to use our Gigabit Ethernet switch that would take greater advantage of our two internal networks. They did all the customizations we needed to run our jobs efficiently, and drew on their engineering expertise to make creative suggestions. They are problem solvers.”

Altair’s technical experts, Chayan Basak and Sebastián Larrazábal, along with Peter Connolly (President ConnollyGeo) discuss how semi-autonomous tools, Altair Geomechanics Director, can help you to build fast and accurate mechanical earth models, visualize standard results, perform geomechanics specific calculations, and provide efficient interpretation of the results. The presentation includes a demonstration of simulation technologies designed to enhance geomechanics engineering efficiency.
