Capvidia Releases FlowVision HPC

By DE Editors

Capvidia (Leuven, Belgium) continues to provide innovative CFD simulation solutions with its new FlowVision (high performance computing) HPC release. This release features a parallel solver optimized for multi-grid and multi-core cluster configurations. An optional direct coupling with Simulia-Abaqus provides a solution for realistic multiphysics simulation such as fluid-structure-interaction.

Technical partnerships between Capvidia and Dassault Systems’ SIMULIA have resulted in development of a direct bidirectional interface between FEM Abaqus and FlowVision. This direct coupling allows them to address extremely complex fluid-structure-interaction problems in an efficient and controlled way.

FlowVision HPC includes multiphysics simulation through direct bidirectional coupling with Abaqus for fluid-structure-interaction, automatic and direct data exchange with Abaqus controlled with MPM (multiphysics manager); its exact fit to CAD model boundary with automatic adaptation to geometrical shape and solution; a clearance model for an efficient solution to dimensionality problems such as modeling of small clearance in large compressors and a manageable mesh size; and HPC with its efficient parallel solver supporting multi-grid and multi-core processor configurations (Linux/Windows).
