Altair announced an investment in Garching, Germany based FluiDyna GmbH, a renowned developer of native GPU-based fluid dynamics and numerical simulation technologies. The companies will collaborate to develop GPU optimized computational fluid dynamics applications for classical aerodynamics and multi-phase flows. For computationally intensive disciplines like CFD, FluiDyna's technology to use graphics processing units as massively parallel processors offers the benefits of being less expensive, faster and significantly more energy efficient than cpus. FluiDyna specializes in the development and application of GPU-optimized numerical methods to rapidly solve complex fluid flow and thermodynamics problems. The company's commercial product offerings include ultraFluidX for aerodynamics simulation and nanoFluidX for particle-based fluid dynamics simulation. In addition to being the exclusive reseller of ultraFluidX and nanoFluidX, Altair will soon launch and provide access to these technologies through its popular Altair Partner Alliance program to its HyperWorks clients globally.
