CD-adapco Licenses LEDAS Variational Geometric Solver LGS 2D

By DE Editors

CD-adapco has licensed LEDAS variational geometric solver LGS 2D and intends to use it as a part of an integrated geometry modeling tool built-in its multi-disciplinary engineering simulation software STAR-CCM+.

LEDAS delivers the LGS 2D component to CD-adapco for several platforms. The batch includes 32- and 64-bit versions for Windows, Linux on both Intel and AMD platforms, HP-Unix on PA-RISC and HP Itanium, IBM AIX on Power PC, and Sun Solaris on Sparc64b and x86.

“Before choosing a geometric solver for our flagship STAR-CCM+ product, we extensively reviewed the offerings of all of the leading suppliers, “ says Jean-Claude Ercolanelli, CD-adapco’s vice president Product Management. “We chose LEDAS because they matched all of our selection criteria: completeness of technical features and capabilities, availability of hardware platforms and responsiveness of their team. We believe that our relationship with LEDAS will have positive results for all users of STAR-CCM+.”

The LGS 2D geometric solver is a computational module, engineered to support two-dimensional history-free parametric design in CAD and computer graphics systems, as well as many other applications that require parametric connections to be set between geometrical objects. LGS 2D supports creation and modification of geometric models by means of (explicit or implicit) constraints, which are solved simultaneously.
