CloudHPC is continuously committed into expanding the range of software available on our platform. This autumn, the range of CFD, FEA and FEM software available to users is expanding with a new tool dedicated to mesh generation: cfMesh+ cloud. This tool is dedicated to generate mesh for OpenFOAM and similar Read more…
Often users ask how much a simulation on cloudHPC is when using FDS. To this question the reply is generally articulated and this post investigates the main parameters that influences your simulation cost. cloudHPC pricing First of all, it is important to remind you how cloudHPC pricing works. Compare to Read more…
CloudHPC data security is a very important task to guarantee. In an cloudHPC system like ours we often deal with massive data coming from engineers which can be under NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) between users of our platform and their clients or protected by patent. For this type of situation Read more…
A fundamental stage in FDS to achieve a good scalability regards the use of MPI (also named multicore) parallelization method. This method, as we highlighted in an old post, is based on the MESH definition in the input FDS file. To achieve a good scalability it is fundamental you split Read more…
On cloudHPC it is possible to execute code_aster cluster with OpenMPI. This means the process is going to be divided among the cores available on the instance so your simulation can proceed faster. When executing MPI processes it is mandatory to “split” the mesh: the parallelization in fact works that Read more…
Many users wonder how which procedure follows our snappyHexMesh script. The reply to this question is rather simple and this post aims at giving you the most important info. basic steps to generate mesh with snappyHexMesh Obviously to use snappyHexMesh there are three steps to follow and complete: blockMesh – Read more…
CloudHPC is able to provide a number of real-time information when running OpenFOAM simulations. In particular it gets useful to add some OpenFOAM function object which are able to plot some variables calculated by OpenFOAM. Thanks to these, you can monitor your analysis and it is possible to make a Read more…
A design of experiment is a methodology of authomatically execute multiple analysis to verify, for instance, the influence of boundary conditions to a CFD case. Thanks to cloudHPCexec, a linux tool which you can install as a normal .deb package, this is possible and easy to do. Let’s discover how! Read more…
When running your simulation on the cloud it’s common to be a bit confused about multiCORE multiThreads capabilities of the machines. Generally, the confusion becomes even bigger when thinking that not all the software available on the platform are able to use both these functionalities. Before going furthere it’s worth Read more…
