The Blue Ridge deal capped the latest in a string of Autodesk
acquisitions to build out its base Simulation portfolio, the most
prominent transaction being the 2009 purchase of Algor. At that
point, Autodesk had built up a fairly complete simulation story,
including multiphysics capabilities from Algor and plastic
injection simulation functionality from its prior purchase of
Moldflow.
Blue Ridge Numerics and Autodesk had collaborated around Inventor
for years, already working together to develop tight integration
between the tools and ensuring that geometry could be easily passed
back and forth between the programs. The newest release of the Blue
Ridge Product, now called Autodesk Simulation CFD, is essentially a
rebranded version of CFD 2011 launched nine months ago prior to the
acquisition, with a couple of important extras.
The most compelling addition, is the inclusion of Fusion,
Autodesk’s direct modeling module, to Autodesk Simulation CFD. What
this does is give CFD users, who could very well be analysts not
skilled in CAD software, an easier way to prepare models for
simulation. Just as rival CAD vendor SpaceClaim is positioned as a
complementary tool to ANSYS for the very same reason, CFD users can
tap Fusion to more easily make changes, manipulate geometry, and
de-feature models for simulation.
The addition of Fusion also opens up Autodesk Simulation CFD to
work with virtually any CAD model. The second big change with the
new CFD tool is the adoption of Autodesk’s licensing manager, which
provides far more flexibility in how users can deploy the program.
A High Performance Computing (HPC) license is built into the base
agreement so users that work with CFD on a HPC platform won’t incur
additional costs, and there is more flexibility in purchasing
things separately. On the latter point, one license could cover
someone using the interface to set up a simulation and reviewing
results, while another was tapping the solver to run an actual
simulation.
«Now that we have all these great simulation tools, we want to make
sure folks in the industry know we also have the people to back
them up,» said Mihelcic, adding that 100 percent of the Blue Ridge
Numerics development team came over with the acquisition and are
still working on developing the CFD code.
