Computational Fluid Dynamics: On-Demand Webinar - How to Efficiently Mesh Complex Tip Blades with High Accuracy

AnneMarie CFD

Learn how the Cadence Fidelity CFD Platform can simulate complex turbomachinery configurations, maintaining high-accuracy flow results and a quick turnaround time for a short engineering product cycle. We will mesh a turbine blade with complex tip geometry in the Fidelity CFD platform, and complete the analysis with a conjugate heat transfer (CHT) simulation using Fidelity CFD’s pressure-based solver.

Computational Fluid Dynamics: Limitless Export Formats with Fidelity Pointwise CAE Plugins

Veena Parthan

One of the best things about Fidelity Pointwise is that it fits well into any company's analysis process. Pointwise reads and writes a variety of geometry and grid formats, so you can import files from other design and analysis tools and export them to any other software to be used for the next step in the process.

Verification: Training Insights – Webinar –: Solve Tricky SVA Problems with Jasper Visualize and WaveEdit: Recording Now Available

Nizar Hanna
Are you experienced in using SVA?

It’s been around for a long time, and it’s tempting to think there’s nothing new to learn.

Have you ever come across situations where SVA can’t solve what appears to be a simple problem?

What if you wanted to code an assertion that a signal rises at any time, but once it has risen, it stays high forever?

What if you wanted to cover the same thing? Would the…

Breakfast Bytes: IEDM: TSMC N3 Details

Paul McLellan

As you know from previous blog posts, I attended IEDM in San Francisco in December. There were two presentations about TSMC's N3 process. This is actually a bit of a misnomer since TSMC has two N3 processes, one simply called N3. The other (the ...

Verification: Flex Ethernet (FlexE): Unlocking the Physical Bandwidth Constraints

Krunal Patel

Efficient and flexible use of bandwidth is the key to optimizing traffic flow for any communication channel, and so for Ethernet. FlexE (Flex Ethernet) is a standard developed by the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) that allows for efficient and flexible use of Ethernet bandwidth. It enables the aggregation of multiple different bandwidths, such as 100G, 50G, and 25G, into a single logical channel known as a FlexE…
