Blender provides a graphical interface for FDS with the advantage of being able to share BIM geometric data. Importing and converting IFC to FDS models is a useful way of incorporating complex designs into Blender for the development of fire fluid dynamics analysis with BlenderFDS. This is possible via the 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
If you are so lazy that you don’t want to waste time entering the CloudHPC platform, the CFD FEA Service calculation service, then you have to use the python application created ad hoc for this operation. This allows you to execute code Aster from Windows without having the solver installed Read more
A useful feature of the Cloud HPC Service is the possibility to access to Smokeview and check your results live directly from the webapp. The Cloud HPC System allows you to run large and complex FDS analysis by renting the needed computational capacity and to easily manage your simulation directly 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
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
You have run your simulation with code_aster FEM on the cloud and it is converged and now you need to post-process the results.The results files are several hundred GB and you don’t want to saturate your internet bandwith. This could be a tipical cloud computing scenario. You absolutely need to Read more
Code Saturne is an opensource CFD software that allow to simulate single phase flow behaviour. It has an integrated GUi that help you to manage the simulation.As evert CFD software, the computational cost is very expensive to company or freelance engineer. for this reason CFD FEA SERVICE has inserted the Read more
One of the main challenges when running a complex FDS analysis is the simulation time. Long simulation time usually depends on the high amount of calculation and available computational capacity allocated. The dimension of the computational domain, and therefore of the meshes’ cells number, contributes to increase the simulation time. Read more
