NUMECA is now Cadence
Cadence offers education licenses at a significant discount from our standard commercial rates. These licenses may be used for classroom courses as well as student projects and include our full comprehensive turbomachinery, marine and multiphysics environments and the entire meshing range.
Our Research & Development licenses for FINE™/Turbo, FINE™/Marine and Multiphysics, include the academic membership for free.

Research & Development projects
In the development of state-of-the-art technologies, Cadence works in partnership on several R&D projects with many universities worldwide.
Soot model developed at TU Delft
FINE™/Open-DBS with OpenLabs™ was used to develop a soot model by adding a transport equation for the soot mass-fraction with added nucleation and oxidation source term based on Khan and Greeves + Magnussen’s oxidation model. It was applied to simulate Kent and Honnery’s turbulent ethylene flame (1987).
Stevens Institute used FINE™/Marine to study a free-surface hydrodynamic model for simulating planing hull hydrodynamics. In addition, FINE™/Marine is an example of Cadence’s close collaboration with universities, as its solver originated as a research tool at Ecole Centrale de Nantes and is still developed there.
The Technische Universität München-Institute for Flight Propulsion is using FINE™/Turbo in research projects. For example, the software has been used to study interaction between the flow and different casing treatments for a high pressure compressor.

Universidad Publica de Navarra used FINE™/Open-DBS with OpenLabs™ successfully for predicting wind flow to complex terrain surfaces.
