NUMECA Releases FINE/Open with OpenLabs v10.1 for CFD

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Nov 24, 2020 – NUMECA is delighted to announce the official release of FINE/Open with OpenLabs v10.1 for Multiphysics CFD.
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.
