Our test models show that the new sliding mesh rotor-stator interface model is very accurate and can be used for high speed compressor simulations" said Jaakko Sailakivi, chief technology officer. "In addition, I have also found technical support from Mentor Graphics to be very professional. The combination of powerful general purpose upfront CFD analysis capabilities and fast technical support has enabled us to use FloEFD as the primary CFD solution in our company." Tamturbo Ltd. manufactures high speed compressors for use in food production as well as chemical and medical industries.
The FloEFD product is a leading general-purpose CFD software solution for the mechanical design market, and the new enhancements were developed to help engineers create more accurate simulation environments for their products. New key features include:
-- Sliding mesh modeling: allows users to create more realistic simulation
of rotating equipment when fluid quantity is highly non-uniform around a
rotating part (such as a pump or fan) and cannot otherwise be calculated
with circumferential averaging.
-- Surface condensation and evaporation: the new water film model is
valuable for situations where surface condensation, evaporation, icing
and de-icing exploration is essential, such as condensation on the inner
surfaces of an automobile headlight.
-- Enhanced radiation modeling: The new ray-based (band-less) spectral
model for lighting and radiation allows users to dramatically decrease
time required for defining wavelength-dependent properties while
increasing simulation accuracy of spectral characteristics. Gaussian
surface reflection for more precise simulation of reflected radiation is
also included. Inclination of solar rays from the parallel can now be
taken into account too thus allowing capture of solar radiation in
greater detail.
-- Usability and visibility enhancements: The new release of the FloEFD
product features an improved parametric study capability. It allows the
user to group input variables to simplify scenario definition, filter
parameters, highlight impact on results of a specific parameter, and
conduct built-in comparisons thus increasing parametric study efficiency
and dramatically decreasing the size of the stored data when hundreds of
variants are calculated.
-- Improved visualization: The addition of GPU-based dynamic trajectories
allows users to highlight flow details better and easily adjust the
animation speed as well as appearance of trajectories in real time. A
popular MPEG-4 codec has also been added for the creation of attractive
animations without requiring enormous amounts of disk space.
"We recognize the challenges our customers face, particularly those in automotive systems design, and our latest version of FloEFD provides significant support for this market," stated Roland Feldhinkel, general manager of Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division. "Mentor Graphics is an established leader in CFD technology and our latest enhancements to the FloEFD product are imperative to our customer's success and profitability by enabling the development of new and innovative technologies."

Touchless Sensing Technology Represents the Next Paradigm in Human-Machine Interface, Finds Frost & Sullivan
These sensing solutions will transform industries ranging from consumer electronics to gaming
LONDON, Nov. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Touchless sensing technologies were initially used in applications such as bathroom dispensing units and automatic doors which required motion sensing in order to create response. With advanced touchless sensing technologies like gesture sensing, voice commands, brain wave sensing and eye tracking coming to the fore, the application potential of these solutions has expanded considerably. In consumer application segments, gesture sensing can be expected to be the most promising touchless interface technology.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Touchless Sensors Technology - 9 Dimensional Assessment, expects next-generation interfaces enabled by cutting-edge touchless technologies to penetrate the consumer electronics, healthcare, automotive, security, military and gaming industries. Of the various segments and sub-segments, mobile electronic devices will offer the utmost opportunities to touchless sensing technology providers.
In recent years, haptics and touch technology have become dominant paradigms in human-machine interface (HMI), which have become a prominent research area due to the proliferation of versatile digital devices. The physical keyboard is slowly retreating - although not obsolete - and giving way to touch-screening modes that allow users to not only move the screen, but also enlarge the screen and access virtual keyboards to interact with applications and the device itself. However, currently, the status of the touch-based technology is being challenged by touchless HMI technologies.
"Various approaches and methodologies are constantly being investigated to improve user interaction with digital devices," noted Technical Insights Research Analyst Jabez Mendelson. "Touchless sensing technologies present itself as one such approach offering numerous value-added benefits to users, which includes easy and natural interaction with digital devices."
Still, efforts to encourage users to opt for touchless sensing systems are called for, as remote controls, keypads and touchscreens have been employed to execute tasks and applications for many years. Apart from this, touchless sensing technology providers will have to address the significant problems and challenges faced in practicability in implementing the solution and also the technical limitations faced by them. For instance, if the touchless sensing technologies have a lesser accuracy rate, the users could end up waving their hands or blinking their eyes several times just to effectuate one task.
"Despite these challenges, original equipment manufacturers choose to use these next-generation touchless technologies in high-end and everyday products," said Research Analyst Jabez Mendelson. "Speech recognition, eye tracking and gesture technology providers should offer low-cost solutions to aid end-product manufacturers achieve this objective."

Altran Launches Season 3 of its International Innovation Contest
PARIS, November 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
The i Project (i for innovation) is the name of the Altran group's international
innovation contest, which grants EUR100,000 to each laureate project.
This in-house collaborative innovation programme challenges the Group's 22,000
Innovation Makers[1], and aims to promote internal research and innovation by way of a
competition open to all employees, whatever their profession, industry or country of
operation. Candidates submit to a jury a proposal for a useful go-to-market innovation, in
the form of a concept or prototype.
Since its creation in 2013, THE i PROJECT has already rewarded 11 innovative
collaborative projects conceived by transnational teams. From green energy management to
connected clothing, not to mention augmented reality, the first two seasons of this
programme led Altran to explore a new approach to management. THE i PROJECT encourages
personal initiative, promotes teamwork, and offers employees the opportunity to imagine
and develop a concept that inspires them.
"Following from the success of the first two seasons, with over 700 candidates, 170
submissions and a total of more than EUR1 million in financing awarded to the laureates to
develop their projects, THE i PROJECT has established itself as an innovation driver
within the Altran group. It is a perfect illustration of the Group's desire to provide its
clients with high value-added solutions in every field where innovation counts", explains
Pascal Brier, Executive Vice-President of the Altran group.
Like in the previous two seasons, the most innovative projects will each receive
EUR100,000 in financial support to complement and enhance their pioneering potential,
ultimately transforming them into economic realities to best meet the needs of Group
clients.
A look back on THE i PROJECT season 2
Season 2 of THE i PROJECT shed the spotlight on six particularly high-quality and
innovative projects. They were chosen from among the submissions for their ingenious
nature, perfectly in line with the expectations of the programme:

- Become responsible: like with a Tamagotchi, the child will have to make his Ibudy
evolve by doing as many things as possible every day
- Receive messages from family members and create a direct contact if necessary, even
remotely
- Feel safe. In the event the child gets lost he can alert his family members. The
child also has his emergency identity card on his Ibudy (name, age, blood type and
emergency numbers)
