Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing

The goal of the project was to benchmark an open source CFD toolkit, OpenFOAM, against a commercial CFD package used in industry.

The goal of the project was to evaluate and improve the client’s simulation capability for use in their surface and heat treatment manufacturing process.

Alma Doepel, one of the oldest surviving Australian three-masted topsail schooners, was built in 1903 by Frederick Doepel in Bellingen New South Wales and commercially operated until the 1970’s.

GM Holden wished to optimise the design of a vehicle architecture by removing mass from the vehicle frame without affecting crash safety.

Multi-disciplinary Optimisation (MDO) is a design method becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry.

The automotive industry is aggressively moving from physical prototyping to virtual prototyping to reduce time-to-market, lower development costs, and to support innovation and sustainability.

VPAC worked with Fiomarine in a design engineering project to optimise the manufacturing and in-use performance of the Fiobuoy.

Today’s engineering and design environments are virtual and complex, incorporating features such as multi-disciplinary optimisation (MDO), advanced visualisation, parametric modelling, automation an
