Discover Fluid-Structure Interaction and further speed-up in meshing and convergence time in the new version of FINE™/Open with Openlabs™.

HEXPRESS™/Hybrid

• The viscous layers extrusion method and the improved projection option (EXACTMESHING keyword) have been sped up, resulting in an overall mesh generation time cut down by 4% to 63% among our database cases.

• Speed up and robustness improvements for distributed MPI version

• Global speed up for the surface to volume mesh generation

• An improved version of the optimizer for OpenFoam quality criteria is now introduced

GPU acceleration (FINE™/Open) BETA

Use Graphical Processing Units (GPU) in FINE™/Open to decrease even further your convergence time. 

Combine the CPU-Booster™ to the new GPU technology to speed up your computations up to 10 times faster.

Fluid-Structure Interaction: flutter analysis with the Non-Linear Harmonic NLH method (FINE™/Open) BETA

FINE™/Open now includes an additional module for performing Fluid-Structure Interaction simulations (FSI). The combination of the modal approach and the NonLinear Harmonic (NLH) solver ensures a fast and accurate analysis of flutter or any forced-response phenomena with limited computing resources.
