CD-adapco to exhibit at WINDPOWER 2009 Conference and Exhibition, Chicago, Illinois, May 4–7.

Leading independent global provider of industrial-strength 3-D Simulation solutions (CAE) to present a suite of simulation solutions for the Wind Engineering Industry at the largest annual American wind conference

Chicago, New York and London, May 5, 2009.

CD-adapco has a proud history of supplying 3D Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation solutions to the Power Generation sector with the industry leading Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes. Our software and services are increasingly being utilized in the alternative energy sector, as companies seek to improve the performance and durability of their designs in a sustainable and a cost effective way. CD-adapco’s 3D flow and structural simulations are now being used in turbine design to understand rotor aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, blade icing as well as wave loading on offshore turbines. CD-adapco also has a unique automated solution for site studies allowing push button analysis of potential wind farms helping understand site suitability and optimal turbine distribution to minimize gearbox failures while maintaining peak output.

The theme of our exhibit, “Integrate, Automate, Innovate,” reflects the philosophy that drives the development of all CD-adapco solutions, especially our flagship product STAR-CCM+, whose unrivalled ease of use delivers the best in integrated engineering simulation. Through its automated simulation process, STAR-CCM+ allows engineers to rapidly explore entire design spaces and deliver robust and accurate results in a reliable and efficient manner.

"WINDPOWER is THE wind energy industry event each year in North America ”, says Dr. Dennis Nagy, Vice President, Business Development, "and CD-adapco is pleased to now be a part of this event, paralleling our growing reputation as a leading supplier of flow, thermal, and stress simulations solutions to the wind energy industry. Our flagship software, STAR-CCM+, is proving to be a choice of leading wind energy companies due to its ability to automate repetitive simulation processes and run on large compute clusters allowing the complete study of a site, with multiple configurations and wind directions, to be completed in hours and not days."
