Version 4.0 Multiphysics simulation software has a new user interface that provides streamlined model-building. Task-specific tools show only currently possible and necessary actions. A series of new LiveLink options integrate the software with CAD programs such as Autodesk Inventor, Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, and Matlab. It runs on Windows HPC Server 2008.

Model set up is smooth and direct, making tough problems quick and easy to solve. Version 4.0 brings an unprecedented level of clarity to product design simulation by combining an organized model overview and a streamlined model-building process in the new COMSOL Desktop. It uses functional form, structure, and aesthetics as the means to achieve simplicity for modeling complex physical realities. For instance, task-specific tools appear on the Desktop right when you need them and show only the currently possible and necessary actions. This helpful user convenience removes uncertainty from model building and brings order to simulations.
COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.0 now runs on Windows HPC Server 2008, creating a scalable and affordable high performance computing solution for simulation and virtual prototyping. Current users with a COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.0 floating network license will be able to deploy across as many Windows HPC Server 2008 nodes as they choose, at no additional COMSOL Multiphysics licensing cost.
COMSOL Multiphysics supports parallel processing through standard shared-memory multicore computers as well as distributed-memory clusters. Users can turn to clusters to solve a series of parameter steps for a model, one parameter per node, or they can solve a single large model using distributed memory. For maximum performance, the COMSOL cluster implementation can utilize shared-memory multicore processing on each node in combination with the MPI-based distributed memory model.
There is a lot to be had at this second edition of the day-long Trinidad and Tobago Mango Festival 2010.
The day is full of activities meant to promote mango as a business enterprise, to teach people about the various features of mango life and to offer some tempting mango delicacies and fruit. It opens with a mango market, and then a presentation on how mangos are used around the world in various ceremonies. Just after lunch the formal part kicks in, and this includes a tea party. Admission: Adults $10, Children over 12: $5, Under 12: Free
The first half of this free workshop provides an overview of COMSOL Multiphysics Version 4: its capabilities, new abilities and functionality enhancements, and its new, more efficient, user interface. The second half of the workshop, which begins at 2pm, is a hands-on tutorial in COMSOL Multiphysics Version 4.0a. Both sessions are directed at both new and existing users. The speaker is Dr. Jiahe (Jan) Wang of Comsol, who specialises in numerical simulation of environmental fluid mechanics and inverse problem modeling. Please note that seating is limited.

The High Commission of India, the Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Cultural Cooperation (MGICC) and The UWI hold an International Ayurveda Conference and Exhibition. The event, supported by the Department of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy), Government of India will be inaugurated by the Honourable Fazal Karim, Minister of Science, Technology and Tertiary Education for the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago.
The Society of Caribbean Linguistics, in conjunction with The UWI Faculty of Humanities and Education, will host the SCL 18th Biennial Conference, to be held at the Amaryllis Beach Resort in Barbados. Scholars, students, educators, writers, and the general public are encouraged to participate. Sessions include presentations, workshops, colloquia, poster sessions, and plenary addresses.
There has been considerable published research on religion internationally but insufficient work has been conducted in the Caribbean and Latin America. This conference, Religion in the Caribbean: Addressing the Challenges of Development and Globalism, hosted by the Department of Behavioural Sciences, UWI, seeks to fill that gap by bringing together scholars who have been doing research in this area.
The St Augustine Campus of The UWI is preparing to host its annual Conference on the Economy (COTE 2010) in October. COTE aims to highlight, developmental issues facing the country and the wider Caribbean.
Organized by the Department of Economics, Faculty of Social Sciences, COTE 2010 is open to decision makers, policy makers, technocrats, private sector representatives, academics, students and the general public.
