Saving Energy and Reducing Faucet Pressure Losses with Continuous Adjoint Optimization

In the United States alone, individuals use an average of 88 gallons of water a day within their home [1].  Delivering that tremendous quantity of water involves a complex system of valves, pumps, and piping systems, each with their own engineer problems to solve. Conservation of potable water and reduction in energy usage to deliver […]

Surface Optimization with Continuous Adjoint

Engineers routinely seek to improve their designs in order to increase a device’s efficiency, reduce energy losses, and increase performance at a new operating point. This is of course when the right driving forces (business or engineering) exist and design improvements are economically feasible. Oftentimes, the methods we use to improve designs rely on the […]

Enhanced Topology Optimization with Multi-Objective Continuous Adjoint

Topology optimization has proven to be an integral tool in the virtual prototyping process within industry. Engineers leveraging next generation optimization methods, such as continuous adjoint, can quickly gain valuable insight needed to enhance their products. Oftentimes, real designs must satisfy multiple objectives e.g. maximizing mass flow while maximizing swirl for an inlet port of […]

Cloud Computing with HELYX and Penguin Computing On-Demand

Companies using simulation in their design process, often utilize a spectrum of computing resources to meet budgetary and uptime requirements, manage security risks, and remain flexible in order to use only as much compute time as needed.  The types of computing paradigms include running on local workstations; local high performance computing (HPC); remote HPC; and […]

Improving Engineering Design with Topology Optimization

Virtual prototyping using simulation and optimization tools enables faster, leaner, and more cost effective product development cycles within engineering teams. This on-demand webinar discusses how next generation topology optimization methods within HELYX Adjoint enable industry leaders to achieve more. You’ll be

Multipoint Adjoint Topology Optimisation for Automotive HVAC System

In the previous post about multipoint adjoint optimisation I showed the concept and process of our recent developments in this field on a very simple demonstration case (Definitely read this before you continue!). We now have received permission by our partner Volkswagen AG to show the original case that sparked this development. I will introduce […]

Multipoint Adjoint Optimization

ENGYS developers and application engineers have been closely involved in the success of the adjoint optimisation methodology since its first implementation into CFD codes more than 10 years ago. Since those early days, ENGYS has constantly driven the development forward to improve robustness and accuracy as well expanding the functionality. HELYX-Adjoint has been adapted as […]
