日本イーエスアイ Company Profile

We are pleased to announce that we will be holding the user conference "31st PUCA ― ESI Users’ Forum Japan 2022 ―," which had been suspended due to the impact of COVID-19, as detailed below. This conference, supported by all of you, will mark its 31st edition this year, focusing on the exchange of information centered around user case presentations from companies using ESI products. In this conference, we will welcome Mr. Natori from Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Mr. Kawahara from Toyota Motor Corporation, and Mr. Higuchi from Honda R&D Co., Ltd. for a keynote speech, followed by a panel discussion titled "Recent Concerns Regarding CAE – CAE in the Planning Stage, etc." Additionally, in the exhibition area, we will showcase various sponsoring companies and ESI solutions. In the VR Room, you will have the opportunity to experience ESI's VR solution for the manufacturing industry, IC.IDO. We sincerely hope you will join us.

Have you ever felt that 'the analysis does not match the actual machine' or 'what is necessary for improving accuracy'? In press forming analysis, material properties greatly influence analysis accuracy. We will hold an online seminar focusing on the fundamental aspect of simulation, which is material properties, for those currently using or considering the introduction of press forming analysis. In the first half of this seminar, Professor Susumu Takahashi from Nihon University will give a lecture on the current state of press processing, including tensile tests at press forming speeds and forming analysis. In the latter part of the seminar, we will also introduce the material property calculation tool ESI Mat-Wizard for PAM-STAMP. ■ Event Overview - Date and Time: August 26, 2022 (Friday) 14:00 - 15:00 (60 minutes including Q&A) - Cost: Free (Pre-registration required) - Target Audience: Those using press forming analysis software, not limited to PAM-STAMP, or those considering its introduction - Capacity: 100 people ■ Agenda 1. Opening remarks and introduction of the seminar overview 2. Challenges of applying high-tensile materials to automotive parts and press forming analysis / Professor Takahashi from Nihon University 3. Q&A 4. Improving prediction accuracy with ESI Mat-Wizard 5. Q&A

OpenFOAM is said to be one of the most widely used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools in the world as an open-source numerical fluid analysis software. Being open-source offers significant advantages, such as eliminating costs for additional licenses when the number of users increases and enabling calculations for large-scale models that require many cores. However, it is also true that, due to its open-source nature, there are hurdles to adoption, such as concerns about whether it can be applied to specific challenges and the quality of the software. Currently, OpenCFD, the developer of OpenFOAM, is under the umbrella of ESI Group, and a community focused on development and maintenance has been established, leading to the continuous evolution of OpenFOAM. Additionally, ESI Group offers comprehensive CAE services based on OpenFOAM, which differ from typical commercial CFD software. In this seminar, we will introduce the current state of the community, the services provided by ESI Group, and examples from the shipbuilding and marine industries. The content will also be of interest to those in industries outside of shipbuilding and marine, so we encourage you to take this opportunity to watch.
