Advantech Co., Ltd., a company with the world's top market share in the field of industrial computers (headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, with a Japanese subsidiary in Taito, Tokyo), has announced the "SOM-7583," a COM Express Mini Type 10 module product equipped with the 11th generation Intel Core processor, suitable for a wide range of high-performance applications. This compact and powerful "SOM-7583" features onboard LPDDR4X memory and NVMe SSD, supports TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) compliant 2.5GbE LAN, 1x PCIe Gen 3 x4, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps), 2x SATA Gen3, and includes I/O capable of outputting "independent 4K display" through 2 ports. The "SOM-7583" is ideal for applications in edge environments such as aerospace devices, industrial control systems, inspection equipment, in-vehicle devices, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).

Wavefront Inc. will hold an online seminar titled "Utilization of the Latest Thermal Fluid Analysis Software and Turbo Design Software"! In recent years, various initiatives have been undertaken to achieve a carbon-neutral society. For example, in the automotive industry, with the further promotion of electrification, energy conservation, and efficiency, there is a growing demand for thermal fluid analysis, including cooling simulations for electric motors (water cooling/oil cooling) and oil agitation simulations for planetary gear mechanisms used in EVs/HEVs. In this seminar, we will introduce the thermal fluid analysis software "Simerics MP+" specialized for these complex simulations! Additionally, the construction of small hydropower plants contributing to sustainable renewable energy supply is becoming increasingly active. Since installation locations are not limited as long as there is a drop and flow, many potential development sites remain, and many companies are entering this field. We will also introduce the turbo design software "CFturbo," which serves as a stepping stone for those involved in small hydropower generation to increase turbine efficiency while reducing design time and costs, as further proliferation and diversification of small hydropower generation is anticipated!

A Piston Cooling template for two-phase flow piston cooling simulation using oil injection has been added. It is now possible to model multiple pistons with a single piston cooling module. Additionally, conjugate heat transfer simulations can be performed without using Python scripts.

A Fuel Tank template has been added to simulate two-phase flow in the fuel tank of a vehicle.

A Vehicle template has been added for performing simulations of automotive exterior, under-hood airflow, and thermal damage analysis. Additionally, a new mesh type has been introduced, allowing selected solid components or internal fluid components to be retained within the template. Furthermore, "Drag development" has been added to the output of drag calculations.

A Marine template has been added for performing hull simulations. Additionally, a "Submerged hull" type for simulating underwater objects such as submarines and UAVs has been added. It is also possible to choose whether to maintain the water surface and whether to include propulsion.
