Verteilte Entwicklung am Beispiel des Flugzeugentwurfs (EFENDA) Abschlussbericht

The destination of the project was to provide all tools for the interactive and collaborative simulation of flows in a single integrated environment. As a part of this environment the TU-Berlin has developed an interactive and collaborative process-control-module for the flow-solver FLOWer of the BMBF-project MEGACADS. It has been tested successfully. The developed process-control-module has the following features: runs on HP-UX- and SGI-Irix-graphic-workstations, easy portable to other platforms where Covise is running, all parameters that can be altered sensefully during simulation of FLOWer (version 114) and other important data for the simulation can be controled interactively, flexible, also for future versions compatible concept for the data-transfer to FLOWer through Covise data structures. Saving of FLOWer-input-files with new data is possible, automatical saving of log-files where any changes of the parameters are registrated, easy to apply graphical-user-interface that bases on Xforms, possibility of collaborative use with other users, shared application. The result of the project means for the development of aeroplanes: Although the persons and recources that take part in a simulation are in different locations, possibly very far from each other, a flow-simulation can be done whith the help of the B-WiN (a network whith very high capacity for scientist) as if they were in the same place. This reduces the travelling-costs and avoids expensive fault-calculations on super-computers.
