SAMTECH to Organize Simulation Event at EWEC 2009
 LIEGE, Belgium,
Mar 5, 2009 - SAMTECH, European specialist in development of Computer Aided
Engineering software and advanced FEA modeling technology, announces its
participation to the European Wind
energy Exhibition and Conference (EWEC 2009), which will be held from
the 15th to the 19th of March in Marseille, France. On March 17th at 2:00
PM, SAMTECH will also organize a side event at EWEC 2009 to demonstrate to
wind energy industry the power and user-friendliness of the latest release
of its engineering software platform "SAMCEF for Wind Turbines (S4WT)". S4WT
is dedicated to the prediction of dynamic loads on Wind Turbine components,
through a global model of the whole wind turbine, with or without gearbox.
Building highly reliable wind turbines is an important challenge for the
future of the Wind Turbines Industry. It is crucial to remain competitive, to
reduce wind turbines time-to-market as well as prohibitive maintenance costs and
time during which wind turbines are idle due to mechanical problems. In order to
provide an answer to these requirements, SAMTECH used its 20 years experience in
the modeling of large flexible machines and its 10 years expertise in Wind
Energy to create SAMCEF for Wind Turbines (S4WT), that is now a very general and
open professional framework dedicated to the Virtual Prototyping of Wind
Turbines.
S4WT can be used at different levels in the wind turbine engineering process
and by different engineering teams pursuing the same goals (loads groups,
transmission departments, component teams, integration programs.). It is made of
two main parts that will be demonstrated during the workshop: S4WT Modeler for
sub-models creation and S4WT Desktop for automated computations and
post-processing of the whole wind turbine model with aerodynamic forces and
control.
After the technical presentations of the conference, the participants will
have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with SAMTECH teams. The S4WT
side event will be held on the March 17th from 2.00 pm to 6.00 pm, with three
sessions of one hour (first session starting at 2.30, second session starting at
3.30 and last session starting at 4.30). The event is free of charge.
Pre-registration has however to be done on
here, not later than
the 13th of March 2009.
About SAMTECH at EWEC 2009
SAMTECH will be present for the whole duration of EWEC 2009 (hall 3, stand
3713) in order to perform live demonstrations of S4WT.
SAMTECH will also present a paper on Wednesday 18th March in the structural
design and aero elasticity session (11.00-12.30, CT2 session) in order to bring
answers to questions of experts and scientists. This article was co-written
between SAMTECH Iberica and General Electric Global Research. It is entitled
"Matching experimental and numerical data of dynamic wind turbine loads by
modeling of defects".
SAMTECH is a member of UPWIND FP6 project that will also hold a side event
during EWEC 2009.

About SAMTECH
SAMTECH is a European leading provider of Computer Aided Engineering
software. Founded in 1986, SAMTECH develops and markets the general-purpose
Finite Element Analysis code SAMCEF, the Multi-Disciplinary Optimization
platform BOSS quattro and the Open CAE Integration Framework CAESAM on which
S4WT Desktop is based. These core engineering software tools answer to a wide
range of industrial needs from the preliminary phases of design to the most
advanced verification analyses. The software technology of SAMTECH has an
unsurpassed reputation for its quality and reliability. It has been adopted by
many major companies across all engineering disciplines as an integral part of
their design process. SAMTECH software are compatible with any CAD system (UNIGRAPHICS,
CATIA, PRO/ENGINEER, SOLIDWORKS, SOLID EDGE.) through STEP geometrical format.
SAMTECH is certified to ISO9001:2000 quality standards and operates through a
network of subsidiaries and representatives in key locations around the world.
