- Opening Remarks -
Innovative operational efficiency through cutting-edge optimization technologies and products using AI/machine learning
- Yasuhiko Fujikawa, President & CEO, VINAS Co., Ltd
- We are pleased to announce our partnership with Empower Operations Corp. and will introduce OASIS AI, a next-generation optimization design technology that uses AI/machine learning to achieve optimization easily, quickly, and cost-effectively without changing traditional application workflows, as well as numerous case studies from a wide range of industries.

- Latest Trend of Optimization Technology Using AI
- Gary Wang, Ph.D., ASME Fellow, Distinguished Professor, Simon Fraser University / CEO, Empower Operations Corp., Vancouver, Canada
- This talk will give a brief review of the previous three generations of optimization technologies, along with their pros and cons. Then it will focus on the 4th generation of optimization technology, AI-driven optimization. With the assistance of AI, optimization deviates from the traditional mathematical framework and brings exciting new features to optimization. Its advantages will enable optimization to be used like a point-and-shoot camera and yet with professional photography quality. Example applications will be given to showcase its capability. Future research and development directions for AI-driven optimization will also be discussed.

- Overview of OASIS AI
- Cenk Feridunoglu, Ph.D., Director of Engineering, Empower Operations Corp., Vancouver, Canada
- This talk will focus on the advantages of OASIS AI, invented by Empower Operations Corp., as compared to other optimization algorithms. It will also give an introduction to a wide scope of applications of OASIS AI in product design, process optimization, PHM, digital twin, and non-manufacturing scenarios. The typical workflow of using OASIS AI for optimization will be explained along with a design example. The general approach of embedding OASIS AI will be described to show its simplicity. The potential of using OASIS AI in cloud applications will also be discussed.

- OASIS AI Product Overview and Usage Instructions
- Yukihiro Yamamoto, Engineering Department 3, VINAS Co., Ltd.
- The presentation will provide an easy-to-understand overview of OASIS AI, an optimal design system that uses AI and machine learning, with a focus on its features such as quick finding optimal solution and easy setup and operation.
|
| 15:10 - 15:30 |
- Demonstration:Automatic Mesh Control Using OASIS AI
- Shunsuke Ohtsubo, Engineering Department 1, VINAS Co., Ltd.
- Fidelity Pointwise is the reliable mesh generation tool for CFD/CAE simulations. Pointwise bottom-up approach meshing can control the mesh to be high quality by the user's operations. However, it might be necessary to manually survey for appropriate settings with the user's experience or/and trial-and-error. This session will demonstrate automatic control for mesh quality improvement with OASIS AI and discuss how it could be integrated with Pointwise and the other tools.

- 【Case Studies】
Part 1: Optimization of product geometry by CAE/CFD simulation
- Yukihiro Yamamoto, Engineering Department 3, VINAS Co., Ltd.
- OASIS AI has been applied in a very wide range of fields. We would like to introduce some examples of performance improvements achieved by CFD and structural analysis that are similar to those of the target products used by our product users. In each case, the optimal solution to the performance target was obtained with a very small number of calculations.
- Case 1.Westland Helicopters Inc. - Optimal engine intake design
- Case 2.Flywheel Design Optimization
- Case 3.Optimization of gate positions in injection molding

- 【Case Studies】
Part 2: Optimization of turbomachinery performance by CFD simulation
- Yoshiyuki Sawa, Engineering Department 1, VINAS Co., Ltd.
- Optimized design of turbomachinery is used to improve pump performance, increase compressor efficiency, reduce blade tip vortices and blade root secondary vortices, reduce fan noise, and much more. In this session, examples of performance improvement by combining OASIS AI optimization and turbomachinery design tools will be presented.
- Case 1.HEVVY Pumps - Example of centrifugal pump efficiency improvement
- Case 2.Example of optimal design for gas turbine blades
