Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is a phenomenon in which fluids and structures interact.

Many researchers have been conducting research and development on FSI analysis methods with the aim of improving accuracy, expanding problem scale, and improving analysis stability, robustness, and efficiency, and have made great progress.

However, there remained a strong demand for research and development aiming at reducing calculation time, dealing with further expanding problem scale and general-purpose analysis of a variety of interaction phenomena, targeting analyses of real-world machines and structures with complex geometries.

The University of Tokyo was conducting research and development into an efficient and robust analysis system that uses the ADVENTURE system as its core technology to perform large-scale interaction analysis of real machines in a diverse parallel computer condition.

In this presentation, the parallel separation iterative solution method and simulation system were introduced, then application cases of coal gasification furnaces and structural reliability assessments of large offshore wind turbines were introduced.

As the automotive industry was facing a once-in-a-century period of transformation, Mazda aimed to provide superior products to customers worldwide by advancing development transformation through MBD (CAE).

MBD is already being used widely, from the stage of deciding on the overall concept to the stage of deciding on the detailed shape. This time, using the engine development case to introduce the concept of MBD at the detailed design stage and the activities being carried out in the Hiroshima area that strengthen MBD for further expansion in the future.

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. was working on developing EV motors, aiming to realize intelligent mobility.

Generally, to make an efficient motor, rectangular copper wire is used for the windings to improve the space factor, resulting in producing more efficient motors .

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. was also developing motors that use rectangular copper wire to help extend driving distance.

In this case, applying ADVENTURECluster to the formation of rectangular copper wire during motor production was introduced.

In additive manufacturing using metal 3D printers, support structures are important, which are auxiliary structures that suppress deformation during manufacture.

An improper support structure can result in manufacturing failure or increasing manufacturing time and costs.

Therefore, there is a demand for manufacturing shape design technology to design appropriate support structures.

In this presentation, The manufacturing shape design technology for metal additive manufacturing using a molding process simulation and the benefits of using ADVENTURECluster for molding process simulation were introduced.

One of the issues with casting products is the generation of burrs.

The expected timing for burrs generation is confirmed from the melt flow results of casting analysis, the thermal deformation of the mold at this time is calculated by structural analysis, and the generation of burrs is predicted from the amount of mold opening.

In this presentation, the coupling analysis between the casting analysis software MAGMA and ADVENTURECluster for structure analysis was introduced.
