Our users asked, we answered. Today, we’re excited to share more about our latest zCFD software release with two new additions.
Here are the key updates:
The solution to disk performance bottlenecks
Overlapped output I/O allows our users to write the solution to file whilst the solver continues to run, hiding the cost of writing to disk. This is especially useful when disk performance is a bottleneck such as:
- When running large simulations
- When file system performance is slow
- When a large number of outputs are required – e.g time history of unsteady simulations
Affine mesh transformation
Affine mesh transformations allow users to specify a completely arbitrary rigid body mesh motion when using the overset solver. This opens up various possible simulations and use cases with zCFD. Such simulations include:
- Rotorcraft simulations
- Flapping wing simulations
- Any simulation where a combination of rotational and translational motion is required.
Accuracy, speed, and flexibility are critical areas delivered by zCFD, and these new updates will make the software an even better solution for our users. Whether your organisation is optimizing industrial processes or exploring new engineering concepts, here are a few reasons to choose our CFD solver.
Why choose Zenotech’s CFD solver?
Expert CFD at the touch of a button
zCFD allows users to simulate various flow regimes from low to high speeds. With a choice of time-marching approaches, flux schemes, and turbulence models, it provides the tools you need for precise, real-world simulations. No matter the complexity of your project, our solver adapts to deliver accurate and reliable results.
Cloud Ready for flexibility and scalability
With flexible licensing models designed for the cloud, it’s easy to access zCFD remotely, scale computational resources on demand, and leverage flexible licensing models to suit your needs.
It is also available on-demand via Zenotech’s EPIC product, ensuring that your projects stay on track without the constraints of local hardware limitations.
High Order Solver
When only the greatest levels of accuracy will do, our solver combines traditional finite volume methods with high-order (DG) overset regions. This approach allows you to refine your simulations without re-meshing, providing superior precision while minimizing computational overhead.
Efficient Simulation of Complex Geometries with Overset Meshes
The solver’s built-in overset mesh capability enables you to simulate complex geometries with ease. By combining multiple meshes, you can seamlessly model both static and dynamic components without sacrificing accuracy or simulation time.
GPU Accelerated
Our CFD solver is GPU-accelerated and automatically detects and utilizes NVidia GPU accelerators to maximize computational efficiency. With the power of GPUs, your simulations run faster, enabling quicker iterations and more timely decision-making.
We’re continuously working to make your experience of zCFD smoother and faster, and we’d love to hear what you think. Test ZCFD for yourself.
