MRI/RUI: Acquisition of Computational Modeling Facilities for Research and Education in Engineering

EIA-0216375 Patrick A.TebbeLisa Grega新泽西学院MRI/RUI：为工程研究和教育收购计算建模设施这项建议来自一家REU机构，推进该机构(TCNJ)工程方面的计算基础设施，旨在改善研究和教育中的计算机辅助设计和数值建模(结构和热流体)领域。需要三台具有3-D图形和可视化功能以及扩展的动态内存的高性能工作站，以及两个行业有限元建模包的许可证和培训。该提案涉及两个具有国家重要性的战略领域：高性能计算和先进材料与加工。前者将通过基础设施和培训方面加以解决；而后者将通过以下主题的研究来解决：物理蒸汽传输中的瞬变和界面效应的数值研究以及铝合金热成形的过程建模。建模将使用商业软件如Ansys和FLUENT进行。还计划开展教育和培训活动。该项目还涉及教育推广和课程整合的机会。请拨的资金包括下列设备和相关费用。Sun Blade 1000工作站ansys RFD升级许可证FIDAP和Beyond软件维护包培训该设备将支持教育推广计划，并将与课程整合，涉及高中生、本科生和代表性不足的群体。

EIA-0216375Patrick A. TebbeLisa GregaThe College of New JerseyMRI/RUI: Acquisition of Computational Modeling Facilities for Research and Education in EngineeringThis proposal from an REU institution, advancing the computational infrastructure of the institution (TCNJ) in Engineering, aims at improving the areas of computer aided design and numerical modeling (structural and thermal fluids) in both research and education. Three high performance workstations with 3-D graphics and visualization capabilities and expanded dynamic memory are requested along with licenses and training for two industry finite element modeling packages. The proposal addresses two strategic areas of national importance: High Performance Computing and Advanced Materials and Processing.The former will be addressed through the infrastructure and training aspects; while the latter will be addressed through the research of the following topics: Numerical Study of Transient and Interfacial Effects in Physical Vapor Transport and Process Modeling of the Warm Forming of Aluminum.Modeling will be done using commercial code such as ANSYS and FLUENT. Education and training activities are also planned. The project also addresses educational outreach and curriculum integration opportunities. The funds requested include the equipment listed below and associated expenses. Sun Blade 1000 workstations ANSYS RFD upgrade license FIDAP and Exceed software Training for maintaining the packagesThe equipment will support educational outreach programs and will be integrated with the curriculum to involve high school student, undergraduates and underrepresented groups.
