 ELEMENTS CFD SOFTWARE SUITE ELEMENTS is a CFD software CAE suite built for motorsports and the transportation industry. Created and coded by Streamline Solutions, a joint venture between ARC and ENGYS Ltd. ELEMENTS offers unprecedented advantages over existing CFD CAE products for motorsports, production cars, commercial trucking and bicycle analysis. By using ARC's unique array of specialized testing capabilities, ELEMENTS has been validated on over 100+ models using physical data from the ARC rolling road wind tunnel and other full scale testing. ELEMENTS covers five major applications areas:

ELEMENTS offers a cost-effective solution that combines the best of vehicle design simulation practices, all within an easy to use GUI that requires no third party software. It is powered by a custom code based around the OpenFOAM® library. ELEMENTS allows stylists, engineers, aerodynamicists and management to use it and will allow companies to reach a complete design package faster, improve vehicle efficiency and lower costs. Main features of ELEMENTS are:

ELEMENTS CFD ADJOINT SOLVER ELEMENTS also has an adjoint solver, it allows for a more efficient way to optimize designs, while testing more variables than a typical parametric optimization. Most adjoints use 1st order accuracy (poor), whereas ELEMENTS Adjoint utilizes 2nd order accuracy (better), or even a quasi-transient approach (best), to deliver better predictions for improvements. Adjoint is the optimal solver to use for internal flows and shape optimization. Using sophisticated flexible modeling techniques, the ajoint automatically morphs to the best shape for the targets. For example, shape optimization takes the exterior of a car and shows whether you should push or pull on the surface to improve a given parameter, or set of parameters (drag, downforce, efficiency, balance, etc.). This delivers in a single run what would take many hundreds, or thousands, of CFD runs to deliver using traditional parametric techniques. To start using the Adjoint solver to lower your design time and opitmize body and duct shapes faster, contact ARC today via email or by calling 317-291-8600. |
