Improving CAD-to-Solution Processes to Enable Rapid Design and Assessment

Numerical simulation of physical phenomena has had a tremendous impact by enabling the design and assessment of a product’s fitness for a particular purpose without the need for cost-prohibitive, impractical, or destructive experimentation. However, time-to-solution for certain applications can be dominated by bottlenecks in the simulation workflow. These bottlenecks include, but are not limited to: quality meshing of CAD geometries, resolving physics and/or features that solutions are in insensitive to, and maximizing discretization efficiency given a computational budget. This minisymposium will feature talks addressing the amelioration of these challenges.
