The PHOENICS-Using Consultants Club
Its purpose
The Consultants Club has been founded for the benefit of:
- Persons and organizations wishing to avail themselves of the flow- simulating
capabilities of PHOENICS, and who prefer that the actual work of using the code should be
performed for them by a consultant;
- the consultants wishing to perform such services;
- PHOENICS users generally; and
- CHAM itself.
The first group will benefit through being enabled to find a suitable consultant more
quickly;
the second group will benefit from the world-wide advertisement of their availability;
the third group will benefit because perusal of the offerings of the various
consultants may give them ideas which will help them in their own work;
and CHAM will benefit by learning more about what the consultants are doing with
PHOENICS and so being stimulated to develop the code in the needed directions.
The rules
The rules of the club are simple:
- The members are the consultants offering the services.
- Members are of two kinds:
- Full members, and
- Associate members
- Each full member must have a current licence for the latest version of PHOENICS.
- Each associate member must be a registered user of the last-issued version of Shareware
PHOENICS.
- Each member is responsible for creating, and transmitting to CHAM's web-server, the text
and images which describe its speciality.
- Each member takes full responsibility for the quality of the work which it performs for
its customers.
- Despite being in commercial competition, each member undertakes to act respectfully and
helpfully towards other members and to offer them such work as it is unable to do itself.
- CHAM reserves (but does not expect to have to exercise) the right to withhold membership
if it believes that doing so would be in the best interests of the club as a whole, and of
the customers.
The information which is supplied
While members will be free to present themselves to their prospective customers in any way
they choose, it is to be expected that they will wish to provide information of the
following kinds:-
- About themselves:
- Who they are.
- Where they are.
- How long they have been active users of PHOENICS.
- What are their specialities, whether:
- in physical terms, for example two-phase flow, combustion or solid-stress analysis;
- in application terms, for example air-pollution simulation, heat-exchanger design or
ground-water flow; or
- in terms of other offerings, such as grid generation, inter-facing to other packages, or
post-processing.
- For whom they have worked.
- Some examples of their work, possibly in the style of CHAM's own "Applications
Album".
How to join
All that is necessary, in order to be allowed to join, is to:
- send an e-mail to dbs@cham.co.uk which contains information items 1, 2 and 3 and which
summarises what is proposed, in the first instance, for item 4;
- refer to your current licence agreement (for full members) or shareware registration
(for associate members);
- state that you wish to become a member.
After being accepted as a member by CHAM, all that is necessary is to send to CHAM,
electronically, the material which you wish to appear on your web-site.
Some members may already possess web-sites of their own. Then all that may be required
is that a link should be made to them.
The members
On Club Foundation Day, September 7 1998, there were no members. However, in order to set
an example which others can follow CHAM's "Virtual Wind Tunnel" activity is here
packaged in Consultancy Club format.
As will be seen, there is plenty of room for more members.
