ADVENTURECluster User Meeting 2020 AfterReport
Friday, July 10th, 2020 - Wednesday, September 30th, 2020
SCSK Corporation held a users‘ meeting for “ADVENTURECluster,”
structural analysis software developed by Allied Engineering
Co., Ltd. that enables large-scale analysis of 10 million to
over 100 million degrees of freedom within a practical amount
of time. This year, in consideration of the impact of
COVID-19, and to prioritize the safety of all participants,
the meeting was held online.
In this event, live streaming(some information is only
available for live streaming) and on-demand streaming(be able
to watch it as many times as possible during this period.)
were delivered.
Starting at 10:00 on Friday, July 10th, Allied Engineering,
the developer, introduced the latest development information;
SCSK introduced related topic information by live streaming,
while keynote speeches and user case studies were presented by
on-demand streaming.

Keynote Speech① : “Multiphysics・Super simulation of large-scale interaction phenomena in the real world”
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.

Keynote Speech ②: “ Mazda's goal of ‘Revolutionizing development through MBD (CAE)’ – Being poor is not so bad 2 – ”
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.

User Case Study Presentation ① : “Introduction of ADVENTURECluster’s application to motor rectangular wire molding
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.
- ・Mr. Taguchi, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.
User Case Study Presentation ② “Introduction of ADVENTURECluster‘s application to metal additive manufacturing”
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.
- ・Mr. Hamaguchi, Hitachi, Ltd.
User Case Study Presentation ③ “The current status and future of Honda Foundry Co., Ltd.'s efforts to improve the quality of casting products"
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.
- ・Mr. Watanabe, Honda Foundry Co., Ltd.
User Case Study Presentation ④ “Building an ADVENTURECluster calculation condition using external clouds“
In recent years, there has been an increasing need for
large-scale calculations within the Panasonic Group.
Therefore, Panasonic Information Systems Co., Ltd. utilized
an external cloud and made it easy to conduct large-scale
parallel calculations by using ADVENTUERCluster, which
significantly lowered the barrier to use CAE.
The background, system overview, innovative points of
building this condition were introduced.
