Flow Science, Sigma Offer Free IOSO Trial

Optimization software helps engineers reduce the time needed to solve complex tasks.

Flow Science has formed a partnership with Sigma Technology, a Moscow-based developer of a high-efficiency, multi-dimensional nonlinear optimization software known as IOSO. Sigma recently released IOSO 2.04, which has direct integration to FLOW-3D. Using IOSO in conjunction with FLOW-3D, engineers can improve the performance of complex large-scale systems and technological processes based on what-if scenarios for arriving at optimal parameters.

Under the cooperation agreement, through Flow Science, Sigma will offer FLOW-3D customers in North America a free, 90-day trial license for IOSO PM, which allows for parallel optimization on multiple nodes.

IOSO is intended to help engineers reduce the time and cost for solving complex practical tasks, by allowing them to find the most efficient technical solutions based on multiple goals or criteria assigned by the user (multi-objective formulation). It aims to help minimize the number of calculations or the amount of experimental work required, while still achieving optimal parameters for the real-life systems.
