Southampton Implements 20 Floating Licenses of Harpoon

By DE Editors

Sharc Ltd. (Manchester UK) announced that Southampton School of Engineering Sciences (Southampton, UK) is the first to take advantage of the new teaching license option using Harpoon, an automatic hex-dominant mesher specifically designed to cope with complex geometric entities.

The competitive academic licensing options at the University of Southampton — a teaching and research institution known for its leading-edge research and scholarship — include 20 floating licenses of Harpoon, which will support University Lecturers in explaining computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

Harpoon enables students to jump straight into the physics of the problem without having to spend weeks learning a package. This, combined with its high speed, means that researchers and lecturers can mesh complex geometries in real time. (Read DE's earlier coverage on other applications for Harpoon.)

Sharc, a developer of preprocessor software for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA), is the developer of Harpoon, and the UK/Ireland distributor for Computational Engineering International's (CEI) EnSight.
