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…
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 snappyHexMesh there are three steps to follow and complete: blockMesh – Read more…
CloudHPC is able to provide a number of real-time information when running OpenFOAM simulations. In particular it gets useful to add some OpenFOAM function object which are able to plot some variables calculated by OpenFOAM. Thanks to these, you can monitor your analysis and it is possible to make a Read more…
How many times have you wanted to launch a FEA/FEM analysis on Code Aster but did not have the necessary computing power? In this article we show you how you can overcome this problem by carrying out an analysis on the CloudHPC website, a computing resource service made available by Read more…
CFD FEA Service offers the use of a Cloud HPC service to run your scripts for CFD, FEM and other simulations. The CloudHPC system (High Performance Computing) allows you to rent the computational capacity made available, in order to run large and complex engineering analyses in FDS. The offered service Read more…
A design of experiment is a methodology of authomatically execute multiple analysis to verify, for instance, the influence of boundary conditions to a CFD case. Thanks to cloudHPCexec, a linux tool which you can install as a normal .deb package, this is possible and easy to do. Let’s discover how! Read more…
When running your simulation on the cloud it’s common to be a bit confused about multiCORE multiThreads capabilities of the machines. Generally, the confusion becomes even bigger when thinking that not all the software available on the platform are able to use both these functionalities. Before going furthere it’s worth Read more…
The Heat Release Rate (HRR) is a fundamental parameter to describe the fire hazard. A simplified method to estimate HRR is analyzed in order to rapidly assess a fire hazard in FDS. Generally, in fire engineering, a the traditional fire development curve approximate the behavior of the HRR. The Heat Read more…
