More than 400 representatives of the leading Russian and foreign companies from 15 countries that involved in gas transportation have convened to discuss new opportunities, challenges and the latest technologies and developments in gas mains industry.
The international conference “Permafrost in XXI Сentury: Basic and Applied Researches” was held on 27-30 Sept. 2015 in Pushchino, at the Institute of Physicoсhemical and Biological Problems in Soil Science RAS. The main topics of the conference were the following issues and research trends: “Permafrost Response to Climat Change”, “Permafrost Engineering and Hazards”, “Hydrology and Hydrogeology of Permafrost”, “Geophysical and Remote Sensing Data in Permafrost Investigations” and others.
Simmakers Ltd. became a gold sponsor of the international conference CERBA National AGM 2015, held on 8 September 2015 in Canada.
The Canada Eurasia Russia Business Association has a network of seven chapters located in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver, Moscow and Almaty, and a membership base of over 200 corporations and individuals in a wide range of sectors. As an association, CERBA provides an extensive network of contacts with frequent networking events, informative seminars on pertinent topics in the Eurasian market for Canadian companies (http://www.cerbanet.org).
Specialists of Simmakers Ltd. have introduced an article about new numerical simulation method of transient heat transfer. The last is based on spatial interpolation of soil temperature from temperature logs of monitoring wells.
In this new article, the R&D Department of Simmakers Ltd. focus on the modification of the Douglas – Rachford ADI scheme to account for convection in the computational domain.
The annual team retreat has become a good tradition of our company. A healthy lifestyle, outdoor activities, a positive state of mind and sense of well-being is what, in addition to high qualification of our specialists, allows us to develop unique software. A year ago the employees of our company climbed the mountains and experience rafting and this year they move across the Sahara desert.
The design of a frozen dam is impossible without thermal analyses in relation to architecture, the thermophysical properties of the soil, and meteorological and hydrological conditions.
The most effective tool for such simulations is the Frost 3D Universal software package that enables you to forecast soil freezing and thawing with regard to groundwater filtration.
Simmakers Ltd participated in the XV scientific conference “Information Technologies in Engineering”, held on 7-8 April 2015 at Giprotyumenneftegaz (R&D and engineering company, Tyumen, Russia).
As usual, the conference was attended by leading R&D institutes involved in the oil and gas industry: Giprovostokneft, Lukoil Engineering, SurgutNIPIneft, as well as software solutions vendors: Bentley Systems, ANSYS, CSoft and others. Among the conference participants were some of Simmakers Ltd customers: Fundamentstroyarkos, Tyumenneftegazproekt and our partners from NVIDIA.
The conference focused on topics such as new IT solutions, computer simulation technologies and the use of CAD and CAE systems in the oil and gas industry.
