In the world of construction, manufacturing, and heavy industry, cranes and lifting equipment play a crucial role in handling materials and executing tasks efficiently. However, ensuring safety and reliability in these operations is paramount. This is where standards like UNI EN 13001 come into play. UNI EN 13001 is a Read more…
FDS has a dedicated post-processor named SMOKEVIEW. On the cloudHPC you have the possibility of using it directly on the remote desktop of your running simulation. An alternative to this possibility can be provided by Paraview, the common opensource post-processor, widely used for industrial and accademic cases. It is possible Read more…
In the past posts about simulation schemes and function object, we talked about the possibility of setting a first or second order analysis and the possibility of running custom actions while openfoam is actually executing the simulation. This post is dedicated on automation: update OpenFOAM numerical settings automatically Given the Read more…
Jet Fans are commonly elements present in car parks. They are elements whose goal is moving air, smoke and heat in case of fire towards an extraction point. JetFan model is FDS is a strategic choice when running a fire scenario. Jet Fans applications is quite common in indoor car Read more…
Introduction Wind loads are critical considerations in the design of structures, and Eurocode provides comprehensive guidelines for calculating these loads – such as snow load. Ensuring that structures can withstand the forces imposed by the wind is crucial for safety and stability. In this guide, we’ll walk through the key Read more…
Introduction Snow loads are a critical consideration in the design of structures, particularly in regions prone to snowfall. Eurocode, the European standard for structural design, provides guidelines for calculating snow loads to ensure the safety and stability of structures under snow loading conditions. In this guide, we’ll walk through the Read more…
Introduction Fatigue analysis is a crucial aspect of engineering design, ensuring that components can withstand repeated loading cycles over time. CalculiX, an open-source finite element analysis (FEA) software, provides a robust platform for performing fatigue analysis. In this guide, we’ll walk through the key steps to conduct a fatigue analysis Read more…
Introduction Mesh generation is a critical step in the simulation and modeling process for various engineering and scientific applications. Open source mesh generation software has gained significant popularity due to its accessibility and flexibility. In this blog post, we will compare four prominent open source mesh generation tools: SnappyHexMesh, Salome, Read more…
FDS has default settings on how to deal with thermal radiation transport in the simulation. However, there are some simulations where reducing the ration calculations can be useful to reduce simulation time. Such as per simulation where there aren’t high change in temperature or in external fires. Otherwise, knowing the Read more…
FDS provide different methods in order to stop your running simulation: SOFT and HARD STOP. Sometimes your analysis just crashes and you would lose all of your data. Other times, you might want to stop a calculation, make few variations, and restart the simulation from when it left off. FDS Read more…
