ICON Presented at SAE International’s WCX 2025 in Detroit

Yesterday marked the conclusion of WCX2025.
ICON‘s Shaham Hosseini presented: “Targeting Enhanced Numerical Stability, Solver Performance & Accuracy on Industrial Applications.” The talk showcased two groundbreaking innovations in CFD:

  • iconSeamlessSolve – ICON’s next-generation, pressure-based solver featured in iconCFD® V5. It delivers significantly improved robustness, solver performance, and flow fidelity across a broad range of industrial applications.
  • iconPlatform – A streamlined, browser-based interface enabling rapid inspection and comparison of simulation results, drastically improving workflow efficiency and collaboration.

A huge thank you to SAE International for hosting another dynamic and forward-thinking WCX, with keynotes on today’s mobility challenges, panel discussions on the growing role of AI and great networking opportunities.
We’re already looking forward to returning to Detroit for WCX2026!
👉 In the meantime, connect with us at iconcfd.com/contact-us to explore how ICON’s solutions can deliver operational, commercial, and competitive advantages for your organisation.

ICON attended SAE International’s WCX 2024 in Detroit

It was great to attend #WCX2024 filled with industry insights and #networking opportunities. We are grateful for the chance to engage with leaders in #automotive #engineering and witness the latest advancements shaping our field.

We were very pleased to attend the presentation by Paul Norman and Kevin Howard of Ford Motor Company, which included the use of ICON’s CFD Simulation Software #iconCFD® in a paper on “A Mechanical Energy Control Volume Approach Applied to CFD Simulations of Road Vehicles”.

In another session, Kevin Howard presented on the “Introduction of the eGTU – an electric version of the Generic Truck Utility Aerodynamic Research Model”. The paper discusses the use of the #transient solver of ICON’s #simulation software #iconCFD® in #CFD simulations for the eGTU model.
The paper mentions leveraging iconCFD’s capabilities to assist in visualizing differences between internal combustion engine (#ICE) and electric #vehicle (#EV) versions of the GTU and to support discussions with simulated results. Specifically, it cites the use of iconCFD® for generating quantitative results and visualizations that help explain the experimental findings, such as reductions in drag due to changes in the vehicle’s #underbody configuration.

Thank you to all who contributed to making WCX 2024 a productive and enriching experience. We are looking forward to the continued progress and future partnerships in next year’s event!

Space- Comm Expo 2024

We were very pleased to attend the #spacecommexpo2024 at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre, with Exhibitors ranging from bluechips to a multitude of engineering SMEs, a higher footfall than last year and a bigger defence presence.
With many of the UK’s space hubs exhibiting and the various launch sites sending representatives, it’s great to see so much activity from the experts in the rapidly evolving #space sector.
The event also saw the launch of the Government’s Space Industrial Plan. It was nice to run into Mark Garnier OBE MP who chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group for the space industry.
We are looking forward to next year’s event, which is expected to be even bigger and hosted at London’s Excel. Contact ICON at https://lnkd.in/d2yXzHgU to discuss ICON’s #digitalengineering #simulation solutions tailored for space applications.
