AI for CAE

The question isn’t “if” but “how soon”

CAE, or Computer-Aided Engineering (CFD, FEA, FSI, and optimization), is a field that utilizes computer software and tools to deliver the design, analysis, and optimization of engineering systems and components. This field plays a crucial role in industries such as automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and civil engineering, enabling engineers to make informed decisions and improve the efficiency and reliability of their designs.

With recent developments, seeing how AI (Artificial Intelligence – here I mean rather Machine Learning but only calling it AI to make things easier) is disrupting field by field, everything seems that AI will disrupt the CAE field too. In my humble opinion, it’s just a matter of time and the only question is when (and how exactly) it happens rather than if it happens.

We’re just somewhere at the beginning and it’s even very difficult to say what is going on at the moment – not a mention that it’s impossible to predict what will happen in the future. However, there are a couple of things that we CAN say. 

The thing is, the usual CAE workflow involves a bunch of easy manual tasks and decisions based on data. And AI seems to be perfect for lending a hand with all of that.

Recently we've been diving into some cool aeroacoustics problems and testing out different turbulence approaches. 🌪️ We wanted to figure out which one is the best for real-world applications and guess what?  ✨ We found out that DES (Detached Eddy Simulation) is the way to go! 🚀

🛫But you know what's even better than just reading about it? Actually seeing it in action! That's why we made this awesome video showing the difference between RANS, URANS, and DES turbulence modeling on a NACA 0012 airfoil. 🎥

If you're interested in the nitty-gritty details, we've got a full case study available for download. Just click on the link below! 👇

But first, make sure to check out the YouTube video to see the turbulence models in action. It's seriously mind-blowing! 💥

🌪️ Centrifugal pump CFD, FEA & FSI Simulation 🌪️

Centrifugal Pump is the hidden workhorse of mankind 🚀. Pumps transport water everywhere where it is needed 💧, and water distribution networks represent one of the largest infrastructure assets of industrial society 🏗️.

The global pump market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years 📈, due to the increasing demand from various end-user sectors, especially the agriculture sector 🌾. According to a report by Fortune Business Insights, the global centrifugal pump market size was USD 29.24 billion in 2020 💰 and is projected to grow from USD 30.56 billion in 2021 to USD 45.56 billion by 2028 📊, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period from 2021–2028 📆. Another report by MarketsandMarkets estimates that the global centrifugal pump market will grow from USD 39.7 billion in 2023 to USD 51.5 billion by 2028 🌍, recording a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period.

The big issue is that most of the pumps are used in regimes that are far away from their best efficiency points 🤷‍♂️. In total, that leads to wasting huge amounts of electrical energy 💡 which is more than 90% of the total costs of pump ownership 💸. Take a look at how to make a comprehensive CFD, FEA & FSI Simulation of a centrifugal pump by TCAE, to optimize the centrifugal pump efficiency 🚀.
