Revolution in Simulation | Malcolm Panthaki
The 2-Year Old RevolutionInSimulation.org Community – Are You Being Left Behind?
The democratization of simulation software is increasing the number of simulation users by one or more orders of magnitude. Similar dramatic expansions of use of complex technologies have been witnessed in other technology-driven industries. In each case, the expansion occurs when the nascent, complex, hard-to-use technology is packaged into a form that is simple-to-use, robust, affordable and accurate, and made available to everyone.
The free RevolutionInSimulation online community (Rev-Sim.org) was launched at the NAFEMS CAASE conference 2018. Rev-Sim provides professional resources and a collaborative community to help increase the impact and value of engineering simulation software (CAE) investments through the Democratization of Simulation. Here you’ll have access to success stories, news, articles, whitepapers, blogs, presentations, etc. to help you take your simulation investment to the next level. Experts have volunteered to be Topic Moderators, curating the resources and authoring blogs on various important next-generation simulation topics. You’ll also have one-stop access to simulation specialists and industry organizations, along with software and consulting service providers.
Curriculum
Malcolm Panthaki has over 30 years of experience developing simulation environments to enhance the effectiveness of the product development process, bringing simulation safely and robustly to the entire enterprise. At Abaqus Inc. (acquired by Dassault Systemes) Malcolm led the development of Abaqus/CAE. As an entrepreneur and founder of Comet Solutions and as the founder of the online community, Revolution In Simulation, he has helped reshape the dialog on bringing simulation to everyone that needs it, not just the experts. At Comet Solutions, he worked closely with key global customers such as NASA, Aerospace Corp., American Axle, GKN, Magna and ZPMC (China) to better leverage their simulation investments through intelligent simulation automation. As VP of Analysis Solutions at Aras, Malcolm leads the Aras strategy in the areas of MBSE and Simulation Management in Aras Innovator PLM platform, to ensure that this Low-Code Platform supports Systems Thinking via the enterprise Digital Thread.

Technical session
PSRE Co (NTP Truboprovod) | Leonid Korelstein
Centrifugal pump simulation during waterhammer analysis
The problem of centrifugal pump behaviour simulation during transient piping flow analysis is discussed. Implementation of 4-quadrant pump simulation on the base of Suter curves in PASS/HYDROSYSTEM software is described. Different related difficulties (lack of data from vendors on Suter curves and pump and motor parameters, merging of Sutor curves with real pump curves, role of damping/friction in the model) are addressed. Examples of calculation are given.

CFD analysis and optimization of a Kaplan turbine Draft Tube
The goal of the study is to obtain a geometry that reduces investment costs and increase overall machine efficiency. In the present study, an optimization study of the Kaplan draft tube was conducted. A CFD model for the complete turbine was developed and validated; an optimization was performed using a design of experiments technique. A selection of optimized geometries was subsequently post-checked using the validated model of the entire turbine.

Experimental Verification of Drop Test Simulations of Combi Boiler
Experimental analyzes such as drop test, vibration and stack test are performed to determine the durability of products such as white goods, electronic devices and combi boilers to the loads exposed to transport conditions. However, at this point, numerical analysis is needed in order to keep the number of high-cost device drop tests to a minimum while managing the design processes. In this study, it is aimed to verify the numerical analysis method, which determines the dynamic deformation behavior of the combi boiler and its packaging system in the drop test, with experimental methods. In this context, numerical models were created and analyzed for situations where the appliance hits the ground in vertical and horizontal orientations. The drop velocities in these analyzes are calculated by reference to the drop heights included in Bosch's internal standards. As a continuation of the study, a high-speed camera was used in numerical analysis to determine the angle and duration of the appliance hitting the ground. In addition, measurements were performed using acceleration sensors in experimental tests to verify the acceleration-time profiles read from different points of the appliance as a result of numerical analysis. A good agreement has been observed between the acceleration profiles obtained from numerical analysis and experimental tests.

A parameter less shape optimization process allows to extend fatigue life of structural parts subjected to thermal fatigue
There are varieties of structural parts such as exhaust runner, turbo housing, valves, which are subjected to cyclic thermal stresses. Fatigue is one of the major concerns and hot spot mitigation is a paramount to get a good design. The need for tools capable of helping the designer in the definition of the optimal shape is still very high because the established approach usually requires the computation of sensitivity and a strong integration with the structural solver is required.
In this study we propose an approach that is based on the biological growth method and we adopt advanced stress results, as the cumulative plasticity, to drive the shape. The method is local and based on the structural solver results only. The surfaces of the part are reshaped, keeping the same solid mesh attached, by means of RBF mesh morphing.
The implementation adopted is based on Ansys Mechanical and its companion extension RBF Morph. The approach is demonstrated on a complex part, a valve, showing how a significant reduction of the hot spot stress level is achieved acting on the complete thermos-structural workflow used for baseline fatigue assessment.
