Hexahedral Meshes (Hex-dominant, Structured, Unstructured Hex) – SNAPPYHEXMESH Hexahedral cells are 6-faced, 8-vertex elements (like bricks or cubes). Pros: Cons: Tetrahedral Meshes (Unstructured) – SALOME Tetrahedral cells are 4-faced, 4-vertex elements (like pyramids). Pros: Cons: The Common and Often “Best” Solution: Hybrid Meshes (Tetrahedral Core + Prism Layers) In modern Read more…
SALOME Platform is a powerful open-source software suite for pre- and post-processing in various engineering applications, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA). One of its key features is the ability to work with Python scripting for automated geometry creation and mesh generation. In this post, we’ll Read more…
In the realm of engineering simulations, meshing plays a pivotal role in translating real-world geometries into discretized representations that numerical solvers can understand. Choosing the right meshing tool can significantly impact the accuracy, efficiency, and overall success of your simulations. Enter SALOME Platform, a powerful and versatile open-source software platform 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…
You have run your simulation with code_aster FEM on the cloud and it is converged and now you need to post-process the results.The results files are several hundred GB and you don’t want to saturate your internet bandwith. This could be a tipical cloud computing scenario. You absolutely need to 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 article we are going to see how you can use SALOME Read more…
