SimManager lets less experienced CFD users easily perform parametric analysis and optimization studies, and customize and automate their own design process. Using its built-in GUIs and the Python script language, any user can create custom applications based on ESI Group CFD engineering analysis software.

Key features of SimManager include:

• Standard wizards for
• Parametric Analysis (Design of Experiments), and
• Optimization with support for Geometric Parameters, Boundary and Volume Conditions, and Simulation Parameters
• Single (Brent) and Multi-Parameter (Powell, Simplex) Optimization
• SimManager has the ability to launch and control one or more CFD-ACE+ engineering analysis tools through scripting
• All tool functionality is accessible by means of the Python script language from SimManager. Scripts can be written from scratch or can be created by means of GUI (journaling)
• Embedded Python interpreter, which allows for incorporation of your own programs into an analysis process. This is useful, for example, for:
• Addition of new capabilities, such as a control system model
• Integration of proprietary numerical algorithms
• Customized GUIs, scriptable plotters, and so on
