From October 23 to 25, 2024, Marco Evangelos Biancolini, CTO and founder of RBF Morph, participated as a speaker at the Engys User Group Meeting (UGM) 2024 in Weybridge, England. The event brought together leading experts in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and simulation-driven engineering to discuss the latest advancements in digital design and optimization.

Biancolini’s presentation, titled “Interactive Sculpting and FSI with the rbfCAE Platform”, introduced the capabilities of the rbfCAE platform. He outlined its potential for fast design exploration, interactive adjoint sculpting, and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) applications. The talk demonstrated how RBF Morph’s cutting-edge Radial Basis Functions (RBF) technology seamlessly integrates with ENGYS’s HELYX software, enabling real-time parametric shape modifications and adjoint-driven optimization.

A key highlight of the presentation was a Formula 1 aerodynamic optimization case, where rbfCAE’s adjoint sculpting allowed engineers to refine designs interactively, improving performance without requiring a full mesh rebuild. Additionally, Biancolini showcased a wind turbine FSI simulation, illustrating how mode embedding can enhance fluid-structure coupling for more accurate deformation predictions.

Looking ahead, Biancolini emphasized RBF Morph’s commitment to expanding the rbfCAE platform with automatic CAD connectivity, reduced-order models (ROM), and virtual reality (VR) integration. These developments aim to further streamline digital twin applications across industries.

RBF Morph’s continued presence at Engys UGM 2024 reinforced its leadership in parametric mesh morphing, showcasing its impact on automotive, aerospace, and energy engineering.
