Back pressure and exhaust sound are in a trade-off relationship, and to achieve a high level of balance between these two, we are conducting studies using optimization technology. To improve analysis accuracy, it is necessary to model and analyze the internal structure in detail; however, in that case, even with 1D "GT-POWER," it takes about 20 minutes of computation time per design. Previously, we had to be careful to avoid calculation errors as we coupled "GT-POWER" and "modeFRONTIER" via batch files, but since the "GT-POWER Direct Interface" was incorporated into "modeFRONTIER," the input process has become much easier. 【Features of modeFRONTIER】 ■ A new optimization tool that supports "thinking" ■ Richly equipped with unique methods and functions to meet the needs of design and development sites ■ Highly supported by many users *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where Shimadzu Corporation utilized 'modeFRONTIER' for the performance optimization study of aircraft air conditioning systems. The company was focused on identifying improvement points in the design process and applying them to actual work processes, reviewing the workflow related to air conditioning equipment, and tackling the mission of enhancing the air conditioning capacity of large aircraft. Although building the optimization calculation workflow with 'modeFRONTIER' was initially challenging, the technical support team provided attentive assistance with everything from usage to know-how, allowing for a smooth establishment of the optimization operations. **Features of modeFRONTIER** - A new optimization tool that supports "thinking" - Richly equipped with unique methods and functions to meet the needs of design and development sites - Highly supported by many users - Capable of building a distributed execution environment using multiple machines without relying on general NQS *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

We would like to introduce a case where IHI utilized 'modeFRONTIER' and 'STAR-CCM+/STAR-CD' for product design optimization and automation. The company learned about 'modeFRONTIER' during a re-examination to review their tools. Compared to other tools, what they liked most about 'modeFRONTIER' was its "ease of use" and the "richness of its result processing functions." In result processing, multidimensional analysis charts, spatial distributions, and scatter plot matrices are very easy to read, which helps in result analysis, such as finding solutions with minimal impact from manufacturing errors or environmental variations. 'modeFRONTIER' is an intuitively easy-to-use tool. Additionally, its rich direct interfaces make it suitable for environments using various types of CAD. **Features of modeFRONTIER** - A new optimization tool that supports "thinking" - Equipped with unique methods and functions to meet the needs of design and development sites - Highly supported by many users *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
