CPFD Software Selects Reprise License Manager:

CPFD-Software, the creators of the fast, powerful, and accurate Barracuda ® Particle-Flow Software, are pleased to announce the selection of Reprise Software's Reprise License Manager (RLM) as Barracuda's new license manager.  The selection of RLM for Barracuda represents another example of CPFD developers responding to customers' requests and increasing the ease in which to use the powerful  engineering software.  Barracuda users have been freed from their node-locked workstations and now have the flexibility of using floating licenses.  This flexibility combined with easy to create license usage reports will help companies optimize usage for increased modeling and faster Return On Investment.

"The integration of RLM not only provides more flexible use of our product, it will make the development of our future product enhancements easier, such as our new chemical reactions module."  Tony Jones, Lead Developer for CPFD-Software, LLC.

"We're pleased to have been selected by CPFD-Software," stated Matt Christiano, CEO of Reprise.  "The acceptance of RLM continues to accelerate and provide more software users a better licensing experience and lower costs."

Barracuda version 12.1 released:

Barracuda version 12.1 with new features that broaden its use with engineering applications to particle flow behavior in diverse industrial unit operations was released on March 20, 2008.  Based upon the CPFD^® technology, the software accurately treats discrete particulate solids of any size-distribution, under dilute-to-dense loadings in a gas or liquid flow system.  Applications are broad across petrochemical, chemical, power generation, and material processing, such as risers, cyclones, deep-bed reactors, CFB power plants, coal or biomass gasifiers, and filtration/settling.  The new version 12.1 includes numerous general enhancements: treatment of wall-particle interactions, LES turbulence and wall shear, the ability to dynamically re-read flow boundary conditions, and numerical treatment of liquid-solid flows with fully-implicit coupling.  Users requested special graphics to help understand their complex, three-dimension flows containing millions of particles; the graphical output now includes time-averaged solids and fluid massflux.  Testing of this new version was the most thorough ever, and included large-scale experimental data from the PSRI.
