Bye Aerospace is an aviation start-up focused on creating innovative electric aircraft solutions. Their response to the high cost of new pilot training: an innovative, all-electric airplane dubbed the eFlyer. The firm also develops and integrates structural and mechanical systems along with aerodynamic advances in design, building products that offer significant cost benefits and improved performance.
In this case study, the focus was a sea-water dredging system and the purpose was to evaluate the sediment flow path of fine silt injected into the stream. The client was concerned that inline concentration measurements of sediment were far lower than expected values. They were interested in gaining a better understanding of how sediment was distributed through their pipe system. For the CFD consulting team at Predictive Engineering, this analysis was an interesting opportunity to showcase the multi-phase capabilities of STAR-CCM+.
The sediment is injected at the far end of the pipe, down stream of the main inlet, and is modeled as a Lagrangian Multiphase. Here, the motion of the sediment particles is calculated through the main continuum phase of the fluid in the pipe. The particles varied in size as defined by a distribution provided by the end-client. The fluid makes two 90° bends through a pipe coupling and a sharp bend through a tee, which causes a significant amount of swirl in the fluid.
We're proud to be working with Aerion Supersonic during their rollout of the Siemens portfolio. Providing a broad engineering software portfolio and an extensive history of implementation, Applied CAx and Siemens Digital Industries Software will allow Aeron Supersonic to realize the digital thread from design, analysis, test, and certification to streamlining of future manufacturing.
In a seamless transition, we recently set up a new support system for our customers. The good news? From the outside, nothing has changed. Customers can still use their existing methods to reach us for FEMAP, NX CAD, NX CAM, Solid Edge, Simcenter, STAR-CCM+ and Teamcenter support questions.
But from the inside, there are many advantages with our new support system. With an intuitive design and top notch features, Freshdesk lets us integrate various channels into a single ticketing platform.
Other advantages include:
If you're currently one of our support customers, please keep reaching out to us in your usual way.

Applied CAx and Predictive Engineering have been working closely with our customer SHB Power Plant Engineering on the modeling of bio-fuel power generation in STAR-CCM+. A local company in Portland, Oregon, SHB specializes in upgrading boilers to increase efficiency and reduce emissions. This has been a unique project that has involved software support for Simcenter STAR-CCM+, engineering consulting services, and technology transfer so that SHB can run the models in-house for further design exploration.
When was the last time you evaluated your relationship with your CAD vendor? The most powerful, flexible, and innovative product development solution in the industry, NX for Design has the features, performance, and capabilities to help you get product to market faster than ever before.
With NX, you can consolidate on a single solution with a single data set, a single user interface, and lower total cost of ownership. You are concerned about data. We understand. We have the tools needed to help you bring all of your data forward to NX with the highest quality, and minimum amount of effort. With synchronous technology, you can make any changes needed to the data to help you execute your design changes.
Siemens Digital Industries Software has put together a good succinct article on moving from Creo to NX, and includes a profile on Team Penske and their managed migration process from PTC to NX.
