Engineering and
Software Solutions
for CFD and FEA
Why combining a proprietary software with open source software?
Open source solutions basically offer solvers on Linux and therefore provide very good possibilities for automisation and scripting.
Why DHCAE Tools?
We offer a state-of-the-art industrial CFD/FEA workflow from CAD model to results.
DHCAE Tools’ software developments adapt to the user’s needs and overcome open source deficits.
- Cost advantages: no license costs for CFD/FEA solvers
- Reliable, robust and proven CFD/FEA techniques
- Customisable and expandable for own problem definitions and for the individual company workflow
- For short-term increased need: computing capacity promptly available
- Constant revision of methods by universities and research institutions: high reputation and state-of-the-art technique
- Steady, stable and accurate
However, a mere open source solution might present a high entrance barrier for users due to
- the necessity of a long initial training,
- the need of knowledge of the solver language and of Linux,
- a text file based working
- geometry import based on STL geometry input,
- a difficult and error-prone command language,
- a time-consuming preparation of calculation cases,
- the fact that there is no real support for CAD data and
- no support for open source software.
- Complete CAD based workflow
- Easy meshing and case setup: user-friendly and very time-efficient
- GUIs obviate text file based working
- Highly flexible workflow including Windows OS
- Additional functionalities: e.g. coupling of CFD with FEA
- Adapted tools: integration of in-house CAE environment into the workflow
- Reliable analysis by detailed job control
- Training and support
DHCAE Tools supports the efficient and professional usage of simulation methods both in form of computational services and with software tools for in-house usage. DHCAE Tools develops its tools for the professional usage of open source solver technology for industrial applications. This combination results in tools that distinguish themselves by being highly reliable and user friendly. At the same time, they exploit the cost advantages by the usage of free solver technology.
