A Product Model based Approach to Interactive CAE Design Optimization

We present a software prototype for fluid flow problems in civil engineering, which combines essential features of Computational Steering approaches with efficient methods for model transfer and high performance computing. The main components of the system are described:-The modeler with a focus on the data management of the product model-The pre-processing and the post-processing toolkit-The simulation kernel based on the Lattice Boltzmann method-The required hardware for real-time computing
