High Performance Simulation for Interactive Design (HIPSID)

Computer simulation is now recognised as an important component of the design process. Reducing the time and cost of such simulations is therefore essential to maintain European competitive advantages in high technology manufacturing industries. HiPSID addresses these needs by creating a new design and simulation environment. HiPSID: -Develops an easy to use, interactive, simulation-based engineering design environment. -Demonstrates this environment by application to problems of interest to end-users. -Demonstrates improved designer productivity through end-user evaluation. -Disseminates results to a wider group of end users, opening the way for further take up and exploitation of high-performance computer simulation. State of the art numerical methods and high-performance computing technology allow a HiPSID user to simulate an initial design rapidly, and the simulation will be responsive to changes specified subsequently by the user via the CAD interface, for all but the largest problems. The interactive nature of the HiPSID environment radically alters the role of simulation in the design process, by making it easier for designers to understand and use with reduced involvement by specialist analysts. The HiPSID environment is demonstrated using test problems from the automotive and aerospace component industries. Demonstrations include crack growth and structural integrity of an aircraft engine diffuser and the design analysis of an automotive wheel The HiPSID environment is based on the BEASY boundary element analysis package from Computational Mechanics. The results of the project are integrated with existing software products and marketed following successful demonstration of the prototype system in the HiPSID project.
