Speakers
- Chelsea Hall: Digital Marketing Strategist at CFturbo, joining us from New York City.
- Ralph Peter Miller: President of CFturbo, joining us from New York City.
- Sasha: CAE Engineer at CFturbo, joining us from Dresden, Germany.
CFturbo Overview by Chelsea Hall
Welcome everyone. CFturbo has been on the market since 2008, with offices in Dresden, Germany, and Brooklyn, New York. We specialize in:
- Turbomachinery Design Software
- Engineering Services (CFD, FEA, Optimization)
- Product Development
CFturbo Design Methodology by Ralph Peter Miller
CFturbo design methodology starts with inputting your duty point or design point, characterized by:
- Volume Flow Rate or Mass Flow Rate
- Head or Total Pressure Difference
- Rotational Speed
- Inlet Boundary Conditions
Our software uses fundamental physical equations and empirical correlations to create 3D models.
Integration with Ansys by Sasha
CFturbo integrates seamlessly with Ansys, allowing for bidirectional parameter updates and automated optimization. This integration improves data processing, reduces pre- and post-processing time, and enhances workflow robustness.
Q&A Session
We addressed several questions from the audience, including topics on fluid domain creation, heat transfer modeling, and meshing small features in geometry.
Conclusion
Thank you to our speakers, Chelsea, Ralph, and Sasha, for their insightful presentations. For further inquiries or demonstrations, please contact us at Ozen Engineering, Inc. Have a great day and holiday season!
The broadcast is now starting. All attendees are in listen-only mode. Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to our presentation, to our webinar, where we will talk about CF Turbo primarily and then how CF Turbo interacts with ANSYS. I am Meitin, principal at Ozen Engineering.
We are engineers all day, doing FEA, CFD, and electromagnetics. We are an elite channel partner for ANSYS, primarily selling ANSYS tools, and recently added CF Turbo tools to our portfolio.
We cover the West Coast, including Oregon, Nevada, and California, and the East Coast as Mellow Technologies, with offices in Maryland and North Carolina. We also operate in Michigan as CatFan. ANSYS headquarters is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and CF Turbo headquarters in the U.S.
is in New York City. As Ozen Engineering, we represent both ANSYS and CF Turbo in these territories. We specialize in semiconductor simulations, solar industry simulations, mono and multi-objective design optimizations, and multi-design optimization with any physics.
We have mechanical and electrical engineering teams, and we couple ANSYS in biomedical industry with musculoskeletal models. We are involved in autonomous vehicles, human body and outside human body electromagnetics, and antennas for IoT and autonomous vehicles.
Today, we will discuss turbo machinery and our interest in CF Turbo's alignment with ANSYS software products. CF Turbo is an outstanding solution for turbo machinery design, simulation, and optimization, including pumps, blowers, fans, compressors, and turbines.
We can bring designs into ANSYS tools for CFD and subsequent fluid-structure interaction for structural simulations. We are excited about our engagement with CF Turbo.
Our agenda includes three speakers from CF Turbo: Chelsea Hall, digital marketing strategist; Ralph Peter Miller, president; and Sasha, a CAE engineer. Chelsea Hall will introduce CF Turbo, Ralph Peter Miller will talk about CF Turbo tools, and Sasha will discuss CF Turbo's integration into ANSYS.
Chelsea Hall has spent her career in creative work, administration, arts and culture, nonprofits, political campaigns, and the mechanical engineering industry.
Ralph Peter Miller studied fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and turbo machinery at Dresden University, worked at General Motors, and founded CFD Network and CF Turbo.
Sasha is a CAE engineer at CF Turbo headquarters in Dresden, Germany, with a mechanical engineering degree and a specialization in automotive engineering and internal combustion engine simulation.
CF Turbo has been on the market since 2008, with two offices in Dresden, Germany, and Brooklyn, New York. We are happy to partner with Ozen in Silicon Valley. We serve various industries, including large corporations, small and medium businesses, and startups.
Our software solution is for experts and beginners. We have a network of distributors globally and serve various industries. Our software is made for experts and beginners. We are working on several software solutions for over 200 clients worldwide.
We are looking for people ready to dive into key industries. Our last slide is a drawing, and I will turn it over to Rolf.
