Cadence at the NAFEMS World Congress

Cadence is thrilled to be a Gold Sponsor of the NAFEMS World Congress 2021 (25-29 October, online). If you're not familiar with NAFEMS, their mission is to provide knowledge, international collaboration, and educational opportunities for the use and validation of engineering simulation. And they take a very broad view of engineering simulation including CFD, FEA, EDA, and many other acronyms.

Here's an overview of where you can find Cadence at NWC21.

Accelerating System Design with Multiphysics Simulation Software

In the Sponsor's Section, Cadence's Vice President of R&D, Ben Gu, will describe how system design advancements in 5G, automotive, data center, and IoT are driving faster and smarter electronic solutions. Cadence’s Clarity^TM 3D Solver and Celsius^TM Thermal Solver are bringing in a new era of massively parallel, system-level, multiphysics simulation solutions delivering unparalleled capacity and performance to efficiently analyze large system structures by distributing the simulation over 1,000s of CPU cores, either on-premises or over a cloud.

Greater System-Level Design Insight and Efficiency Achieved With 3D FEM and FDTD Cross-Domain Integrated Field Solver Simulation

X. Tian et al. present a system-level cross-domain electromagnetic (EM) design and analysis simulation flow in which the Finite-Element-Method (FEM) and Finite-Difference-Time-Domain (FDTD) methodologies integrate to deliver greater design insight and efficiency. This cross-domain integrated field solver workflow combines the advantages of both FEM and FDTD methods. It keeps the accuracy and flexibility of FEM to model complex structures while at the same time, employs the memory and computation efficiency of FDTD method to fulfill the large-scale system-level simulation.

Cadence CFD for the Automotive Industry - from Design to Optimization in One Dedicated Multiphysics Environment

Cadence Omnis provides an integrated multiphysics environment that can automate CFD simulation. In this presentation by O. Thiry, you will learn about CFD for the automotive industry that can contribute to the current technological transformation that is revolutionizing mobility and vehicle design.

Electrical-Thermal-Stress Co-Simulation for 3D-IC Integrated with Package and PCB Board Designs

A fully-integrated electrical-thermal-stress co-simulation workflow is presented to address the challenges in 3D integrated circuit designs. In this presentation, Z. Han et al. describe how novel and innovative algorithms in the finite element method (FEM) have greatly reduced the numerical model size while preserving a proven accuracy in simulation results.

Simulation of Pump Performance with Operating Point-Specific Adapted Meshes

A new mesh adaptation procedure is presented that is well suited to challenging turbomachinery CFD simulations. The adaptation procedure creates a mesh that robustly conforms to the underlying geometry, respects user-defined locally anisotropic boundary layer mesh refinement for efficiency, and is driven by an adaptation sensor that accurately resolves large as well as subtle secondary flow features. In this presentation co-authored by N. Wyman with our long-time collaborators for adaptation at ISimQ, we show how an adaptation sensor for a node-centered finite volume CFD solver includes control over the rate at which the mesh size increases with each adaptation step.
