way - ASM saw record attendance this year. Intelligent Light's FieldView team, Applied Research Group staff, and international sales and support people were among the participants gathered in Orlando January 4-7, enjoying the opportunity to meet and talk with customers, partners, research colleagues, and friends both old and new.
Intelligent Light unveiled a true breakthrough in CFD at ASM with the first public demonstration of the new FieldView Version 13. This next-generation post-processing and workflow solution boasts an entirely new graphics core, a modern, unified GUI across all platforms, and robust new tools to manage and accelerate the CFD workflow. We demonstrated the new features and functionality of FieldView 13 throughout the conference, running large data problems interactively on laptops with unprecedented speed and performance. Audience members were both impressed and excited by the capabilities this upcoming release has to offer.  | | Dr. Matthew Godo, Intelligent Light product manager, demonstrates the new FieldView 13 release. |
The FieldView Version 13 beta release will be available soon for customers and evaluations at ilight.com. Our customer breakfast on Thursday gave friends and customers the chance to talk informally. Steve Legensky, Intelligent Light founder and general manager, discussed the launch of FieldView 13 and how the company is working to improve CFD productivity and capability in areas beyond post-processing. Dr. Matthew Godo, FieldView product manager, presented "A Practical Analysis of Unsteady Flow around a Bicycle Wheel, Fork, and Partial Frame using CFD," which describes the latest developments in this evolving, three-year research project. Addressing the challenge of complex, large data problems with a flexible, automation-based methodology, the study reveals surprising insights into aerodynamic flow.

automated CFD workflow can bring to any engineering organization. Developing robust, easy to use solutions that meet our users' challenges and help them get more from their CFD investments while saving time and reducing costs has always been our guiding philosophy. Our accomplishments and innovations in research, products, licensing, and other areas during 2010 continue to underscore that commitment.
