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
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
FDS simulation results ran in the Cloud HPC are available through the web-app STORAGE. Visulizse the FDS results by means of the Pyrosim results application. The Cloud HPC service is offered by CFD FEA Service to run your scripts for CFD, FEM and other simulations. The High Performance Computing system 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
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
CloudHPC data security is a very important task to guarantee. In an cloudHPC system like ours we often deal with massive data coming from engineers which can be under NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) between users of our platform and their clients or protected by patent. For this type of situation 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 from this website. Blender FDS gives you the tools to generate 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 FDS which are able to operate in different ways depending on 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 simulation. The offered services by the Cloud HPC allows you, not Read more
