The Computational Mechanics Research Center Co., Ltd. will hold a seminar where you can experience an overview of the highly efficient mesher "ANSYS ICEM CFD." Particularly powerful features include the ability to create tetrahedral meshes using various methods, top-down meshing that allows mesh generation without needing to modify CAD shapes even if there are imperfections in them, very strong hex meshing, and further insights into mesh editing and improving mesh quality. We also welcome participation from users. Please take this opportunity to try it out. 【Agenda】 ■ 13:30–14:00 Introduction to ANSYS ICEM CFD ■ 14:00–15:00 Overview of tetrahedral and prism meshes ■ 15:00–15:30 Hands-on: Creating tetrahedral and prism meshes ■ 15:30–15:45 Break ■ 15:45–16:00 Overview of hex meshes ■ 16:00–16:30 Hands-on: Creating hex meshes

The Computational Mechanics Research Center Co., Ltd. will hold regular training for ANSYS ICEM CFD. "ANSYS ICEM CFD" includes many advanced automation processing features, but it also offers a wealth of practical functions and tools such as shape handling, powerful mesh modification capabilities, and the accumulation and re-execution of scripts. In the new training course, in addition to the traditional courses, we have established courses specialized in topics such as STL and EditMesh, allowing for a broader range of learning from beginner to advanced levels. We also offer a free trial seminar for those considering implementation, so please feel free to contact us for more details. 【Training Schedule】 ■ Beginner - Tetra/Prism: August 27, 2020 (Thursday), October 29, 2020 (Thursday), December 17, 2020 (Thursday) - Hexa: August 28, 2020 (Friday), October 30, 2020 (Friday), December 18, 2020 (Friday) ■ Advanced: July 31, 2020 (Friday), September 25, 2020 (Friday), November 27, 2020 (Friday)

We have been delivering our acoustic analysis initiatives through webinars, starting with a beginner's course in April and an intermediate course in May. This time, as the third installment, we will present an advanced course: Fundamentals of Airflow Noise Analysis. After reviewing the basics of fluid noise phenomena, we will focus on acoustic phenomena related to airflow and share the results of simulations conducted using CAE tools. We hope you will see what insights can be gained from simulations using simple example problems. We also plan to touch briefly on external noise and vehicle pass-by noise.

Asics Corporation, Sports Engineering Research Institute, Functional Research Department - Case Study To improve the necessary stability in shoes, a high rigidity heel counter inserted in the heel area of the shoe is required. On the other hand, shoes also need to be lightweight, so we designed the heel counter to achieve a balance between these two requirements. [Background] To improve the necessary stability in shoes, a high rigidity heel counter inserted in the heel area of the shoe is required. [Solution] We derived boundary conditions that can reproduce the deformation state of the heel during actual running using Femap with NX Nastran. Furthermore, we optimized the topology of the heel counter under these boundary conditions. [Required Functions for Shoes (Excerpt)] ■ Flexibility (Does it bend along the foot?) ■ Cushioning (Does it absorb impact?) ■ Stability (Does it put too much strain on the foot joints?) ■ Breathability (Does the foot get sweaty?) ■ Lightweight (Does it not impose unnecessary burden?) In shoe development, it is important to design these required functions in a well-balanced manner.

The Computational Mechanics Research Center will hold a seminar related to acoustic analysis on March 27, 2020. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for noise reduction in industrial products, and many people may be interested in acoustic analysis. This seminar is aimed at such individuals, particularly beginners. We have prepared simple topics assuming no prior experience in "acoustic analysis" or "CAE." We hope that this opportunity will allow you to experience the reality of "acoustic analysis" through the operation of the general-purpose acoustic analysis software 'Actran.' We look forward to your participation.

The Computational Mechanics Research Center will hold a seminar related to acoustic analysis on March 13, 2020. In this seminar, we will introduce the basics of acoustic analysis, focusing on the perspective of coupled problems, while incorporating theory and user case studies. Using duct noise and transmission noise as subjects, we will discuss the processes and results of analysis using the acoustic analysis software 'Actran.' We will select acoustic issues related to the development of materials and products. This seminar is aimed at those who are considering starting with acoustic CAE or are interested in acoustic analysis, providing insights into the basics and hints for problem-solving. If you are interested, please join us.

The Computational Mechanics Research Center (abbreviated as RCCM) will hold a seminar on "Challenges in Sports and Rehabilitation Fields and Muscle Strength Analysis" on March 18, 2020 (Wednesday) in our seminar room. The purpose of this seminar is to discuss the challenges faced in various fields by leading experts in the theories of biarticular muscles, para-sports, and rehabilitation, and to explore the direction of muscle strength analysis. Additionally, we will introduce a training support tool based on the simulation software "FEMS Program." [Event Details] ■ 13:00–13:05: Opening Remarks ■ 13:05–14:35: What is FEMS?
