EIA-0216375Patrick A. TebbeLisa Grega新泽西大学MRI/RUI：工程研究和教育的计算建模设施的收购这一提案来自REU机构，推进工程机构（TCNJ）的计算基础设施，旨在改善计算机辅助设计和数值建模（结构和热流体）领域的研究和教育。要求提供三个具有三维图形和可视化功能以及扩展动态内存的高性能工作站，同时沿着两个工业有限元建模软件包的许可证和培训。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和加工，前者将通过基础设施和培训方面加以解决，后者将通过研究以下专题加以解决：铝合金温成形物理气相传输过程中瞬态和界面效应的数值研究及工艺模拟商业软件，如ANSYS和FLUENT。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。所需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Exceed软件维护培训包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.
