SimManager lets less experienced CFD users easily perform parametric analysis and optimization studies, and customize and automate their own design process. Using its built-in GUIs and the Python script language, any user can create custom applications based on ESI Group CFD engineering analysis software.
Key features of SimManager include:
-
Standard wizards for
- Parametric Analysis (Design of Experiments), and
- Optimization with support for Geometric Parameters, Boundary and Volume Conditions, and Simulation Parameters
- Single (Brent) and Multi-Parameter (Powell, Simplex) Optimization
- SimManager has the ability to launch and control one or more CFD-ACE+ engineering analysis tools through scripting
- All tool functionality is accessible by means of the Python script language from SimManager. Scripts can be written from scratch or can be created by means of GUI (journaling)
-
Embedded Python interpreter, which allows for incorporation of your own programs into an analysis process. This is useful, for example, for:
- Addition of new capabilities, such as a control system model
- Integration of proprietary numerical algorithms
- Customized GUIs, scriptable plotters
ACE+ Suite modules
ACE+ Suite comprises of the modules which can be used solely, coupled or in conjunction with complementing software.
