In FDS, the calculations are performed within the set-up domain defined by the meshes. A mesh is a volume formed by rectangular cells. The number and size of the cells define the desired resolution of the mesh and therefore 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 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 Read more…
In Code_Aster, some time is necessary resume the analysis to make a more accurate post processing. As long as you work on your machine and using a graphical interface such as that of AsterStudy, the procedure can be trivial Read more…
During a FEM calculation it is important not only to be able to intelligently model a structure by making the necessary simplifications, but also, be able to understand the best solver is to use. The choice of the solver Read more…
Generating obstruction geometries for FDS is faster and easier with the help of the powerful 3D editing tool BlenderFDS. BlenderFDS is an opensource software that works as an user interface for FDS. You can download Blender and BlenderFDS directly Read more…
Often in FDS is useful to control various object’s actions, such create or remove obstruction and activating vents. Basic control logics can are set in FDS through the device namelist (DEVC). The namelist DEVC comprehends all the devices in Read more…
When you are running a FDS model, a common problem is how to tailor the computational power and memory (RAM) allocated to your simulation. It is important to monitor the vCPU and RAM in the first hours of the Read more…
Salome is perhaps the best performing geometric preprocessor and opensource mesh generator available. This software is available within the CloudHPC app and it is possible to take advantage of the high computing power made available by CloudHPC. In this 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 Read more…
