Automate Your Post-Processing Workflow with CloudHPC: From OpenFOAM to MED, One Script Does It All!

Published by rupole1185 on

Tired of spending hours manually post-processing your simulation results? Do you find yourself repeating the same steps every time you need to visualize your data from OpenFOAM, VTK, VTM, or MED files? Well, say goodbye to tedious tasks and hello to streamlined efficiency with CloudHPC’s automated post-processing workflow!

CloudHPC is designed to make High-Performance Computing (HPC) accessible and user-friendly. Our latest feature takes that accessibility a step further by automating your post-processing workflow. Now, you can focus on analyzing your results and drawing meaningful insights, rather than wrestling with complex post-processing tools.

How does it work? It’s incredibly simple:

  1. Upload Your Files: Upload your simulation results files (OpenFOAM, VTK, VTM, or MED formats) directly to your CloudHPC environment.
  2. Run the cloudHPC-postProcess Script: Execute the cloudHPC-postProcess script from the CloudHPC terminal. This script is pre-configured to automatically analyze your data and generate a comprehensive set of visualizations.

That’s it!

The script will then automatically generate a complete set of images, including:

  • CAD Views: Visualize the geometry of your model.
  • Mesh Views: Inspect your mesh quality and resolution.
  • Results Visualization: Explore scalar and vector fields to understand the distribution of physical quantities.
  • Slice Plots: Examine data along specific planes for in-depth analysis.
  • And more! The script is highly configurable and can be customized to meet your specific needs.

Currently Supported File Formats:

  • OpenFOAM: For Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations.
  • VTK (Visualization Toolkit): A versatile format for scientific data visualization.
  • VTM (VTK MultiBlock Data): Used for representing complex geometries and datasets.
  • MED (Model Exchange Data): A standardized format for data exchange in engineering applications.

Benefits of using the CloudHPC Post-Processing Workflow:

  • Save Time: Automate repetitive post-processing tasks, freeing up valuable time for analysis and interpretation.
  • Increase Efficiency: Streamline your workflow and reduce the time it takes to go from simulation to visualization.
  • Ensure Consistency: Generate consistent and reproducible visualizations across multiple simulations.
  • Improve Collaboration: Share your results and visualizations easily with colleagues.
  • User-Friendly: No need to be an expert in post-processing software. The cloudHPC-postProcess script handles the complexities for you.
