CloudHPC has now expanded its functionalities with regards to Calculix. This is a Finite Element Software very popular in mechanical engineering applications that allows to execute a number of analysis such as: All these analysis can be linear or non linear in terms of material, geometry or contact between parts. Read more…
PrePoMax (https://prepomax.fs.um.si/) is an opensource user interface to Calculix. Thanks to this, you can easily generate the input file to use for any Calculix analysis. Once the input file is generated, it is also possible to benefit of remote hardware resources provided by cloudHPC and speed up the solution time Read more…
CloudHPC is a very special environment. As you would expect from a cluster it is possible to execute several CFD and FEA/FEM analysis using engineering simulations software. Differently to many other providers, on cloudHPC you can also execute preprocessing and postprocessing for CFD FEA/FEM analysis directly on the browser. In Read more…
The fvSchemes file in OpenFOAM is used to specify the numerical discretization schemes used for different variables in the simulation. It controls the accuracy and stability of the simulation results. To open the fvSchemes file, navigate to the system folder in your OpenFOAM case directory and open the file with Read more…
CalculiX is a free and open-source software package for finite element analysis. Engineers and scientists can use it to solve complex problems in fields like structural mechanics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics. CalculiX can handle both linear and nonlinear behavior of structures, and can analyze both static and dynamic loads. Read more…
ERROR: FDS MPI_PROCESS In the past we highlight how you can set your FDS analysis correctly to reach a good scalability. Often this involves using the MPI_PROCESS parameter to correctly split the workload among different processors. When doing that it may happen that you rin into the following error: The Read more…
ERROR: Numerical Instability - FDS stoppedIf you run an FDS analysis, it may have happened to step into an error similar to the following one: This error represents a numerical instability: it means that FDS, during the computation of the fluid flow field, obtained some unphysical behaviour such as very high velocity or very low Read more…
cloudHPC today is releasing the new snappyHexMesh calculator. This is a tool which helps users into choosing the main geometrical parameters of a CFD mesh built using snappyHexMesh, the opensource meshing software included in OpenFOAM. Thanks to this tool, using few parameters, the user can obtain geometrial info about his Read more…
As a cloudHPC provider, it is important to give guidelines to users about estimating the cost of using remote hardware resources for one single simulation. Today we talk about OpenFOAM and we discover how you can estimate the cost of one single simulation. Let’s start from scratch: OpenFOAM is an Read more…
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…
