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…
FEM analysis are possible on the cloudHPC thanks to several software among which Code_Aster and Calculix. When performing these analysis, it is important to keep in mind the possibilities of study the user can. In fact FEM analysis can highly differenciate as they can regard static study, modal analysis, buckling Read more…
An Important FDS feature is the ability to restart a simulation. The Cloud HPC allows you to restart your simulation directly from the web-app, with the MISC parameter RESTART. When running a simulation, there could be times in which you need to stop your simulation, in order to make few Read more…
Blender FDS gives you the tools to generate a geometry directly with edit commands available. However, for complex geometry the software allows you to import CAD models such as STL file. In this post is shown how to generate a complex geometry starting from a STL file. Blender FDS allows 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…
Meshes define the computational domain of your simulation. Multiple meshes are useful to assign the work load to different cores, achieve a good scalability and optimize the simulation. However, it is fundamental to properly aligned abutting meshes in order to be able to run the simulation. Blender FDS tool is Read more…
Blender provides an add-on named BlenderFDS a graphical interface for FDS which allows to set and manage complex geometries and FDS input parameters. FDS is a free and open-source software tools provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). FDS is computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. BlenderFDS helps Read more…
