Pune, Feb 26, 2002

C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) and the Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT, Mumbai launched the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software package IIT ZEUS, during "Techfest 2002" held at Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai recently.

The product was launched in the presence of Prof. Ashok Misra, Director, Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai.

IIT ZEUS is a multipurpose Computational Fluid Dynamic software for product design. IIT ZEUS is the confluence of various technologies such as Computer Aided Geometric Design, Computer Graphics, Structured and Unstructured Grid Generation Algorithms and specific pre-and post-processing.

The special features of IIT ZEUS include the user specific simulation, import and export of multiple file formats, rapid digital prototyping, and automatic 2-D and 3-D grid generation. Also IIT ZEUS is OpenGL enabled.

IIT ZEUS is accessible on C-DAC's PARAM 10000, which is housed at the National PARAM Supercomputing Facility (NPSF), and also at the premier institutes where the parallel computing systems have been installed.
C-DAC has been a major researcher in the area of CFD. In addition to developing efficient software packages, PHOENICS, PAM-CRASH are also available on PARAM 10000.

IIT ZEUS will be exclusively endorsed in India by C-DAC, with the objective to promote the usage of the software amongst research scientists and engineers in the broad areas of Fluid Mechanics, Structural Analysis, Product Design and many multi-disciplinary applications. The subsequent version of IIT ZEUS, which incorporates three-dimensional capabilities, will be available from December 2002.
