scFLOW is a capable and highly parallelisable CFD package for aerodynamic models. It is especially good at modelling moving geometry, whether as rigid bodies or coupled to FEA models. scSTREAM uses a structured Cartesian mesh for faster solving on specific types of models.

Ennerdale is a community that is situated in the south of Johannesburg. To reach Ennerdale from Pretoria took us longer than an hour as we drove through the city of Johannesburg, other townships and communities and a rural area where a commercial farmer has planted his mielies. Just before we arrived in Ennerdale, we had […]

This blog is a bit overdue considering that the last blog on this topic was published at the end of 2019 and we are almost a quarter of the way through this year. If you have forgotten what was discussed in Part 1 and Part 2, here is a quick recap of the main topics […]

This blog post is a follow up to a previous blog post (Part 1).  In the first blog post the following topics were discussed: What is a y+ value? Laminar vs turbulent flow. How to determine if your flow is laminar or turbulent? Introduction to wall functions. In this blog we will go into more […]

The new suite of Cradle’s CFD products was released on 15 November 2019, and it comes equipped with a range of new features. The Cradle suite of products includes the following: scFlow scStream scPost If you are familiar with the Cradle suite of products, you might ask what has happened to scTeta. It is still […]

The topic of targeting a specific y+ value for a turbulent flow simulation is a very important topic. There is however a bit of groundwork that needs to be done before being able to build a mesh to target a specific y+ value. In this first part we will focus mainly on the following topics: […]

Its been a few months since Simufact was acquired by MSC Software with their suite of products: Simufact Forming, Simufact Welding and Simufact Additive Manufacturing. Now these products are integrated into MSC One, the new All Inclusive token system from MSC Software! What this means to existing MSC One customers, is that they now got […]
