Technical capabilities of the Center include a wide range of commercial and in-house simulation software, and state-of-the-art preprocessing and postprocessing tools. Center staff have broad expertise in modeling heat and fluid flow, solidification processes, deformation processes, heat treatment and distortion, residual stresses, and macro-micro structural modeling. Expertise is available in numerous public domain codes such as TOPAZ (heat transfer), KIVA (combustion), PATRAN (grid generation), P-THERMAL (thermal), ABAQUS (thermal/stress), and PROCAST (casting/thermal). Commercial and public domain visualization packages are employed.
