Visual-Environment 10.0 provides a very intuitive interface for all CFD engineers. It allows them to accelerate the preparation of most common CFD calculations, including airflow for external aerodynamics, internal airflow for underhood and climate control, and investigation of flow around rotating bodies. More specifically, this new version of Visual-Environment provides users of the well-known open source CFD modules of OpenFOAM® with the first compatible industrial grade platform: enabling seamless CAD import, easy model set-up, pre- and post-processing, macro-capabilities and customization.

Visual-Environment 10.0 enables design engineers to get quick answers for various design options, on a daily basis. Once a CFD expert has defined an analysis process, fellow design engineers can benefit from automated meshing, set-up and processing, enabling them to obtain CFD models in a third of the time, with no supervision and with minimum training.  

With this latest release, Visual-Environment 10.0 platform now supports additional formats generated by third-party CAD tools: ACIS, Solid Edge, Inventor and SolidWorks. Visual-Environment  users can now import files from these third party software, without the need for time-consuming conversions.

In this latest version, special attention has been paid to calculation speed and robustness, to deliver on an industrial scale.

AMD and ESI have tested and certified the use of Visual-Environment 10.0 with its latest professional graphics card" explains Antoine Reymond, Strategic Alliances Manager at AMD. "AMD FirePro™ graphics are tested against a battery of simulations and real-world scenarios using rigorous certification processes to ensure their readiness for demanding professional use."  He continues: Working hand-in-hand with ESI, AMD is able to provide Visual-Environment 10.0 users with a certified driver, delivering robust and feature-rich graphical support to manage Virtual Prototypes and large-scale engineering simulation models, as required for every day Finite Element analysis and for Computational Fluid Dynamics."
