Caedium Goes Parallel for Faster CFD

By DE Editors

The latest release of Symscape’s Caedium (v2.2) can now perform computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in parallel on a single computer with multiple cores or on a cluster running Microsoft Windows HPC Server 2008. Either way it means a reduction in simulation turnaround time compared to previous versions of Caedium. Also available with this release are 64-bit versions of Caedium for Windows and Linux, which can perform larger simulations because they are no longer restricted by the 32-bit memory limit.

Caedium uses a custom version of OpenFOAM to provide high performance computing (HPC) CFD solvers, presented in a graphical user interface simulation environment for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

The new parallel capabilities can be configured with two preferences for a multi-core computer. To run parallel CFD simulations on a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster requires an additional three preference changes.
