FINETM/FSI-OOFELIE couples the Finite Element (FEI) solver Oofelie, developed by Open Engineering, with NUMECA's fast and accurate parallel flow solver FINETM/Open with OpenLabsTM into one single environment dedicated to fluid structure interaction simulations. The workflow is handled by the SAMCEF Field generic interface.
This direct coupling carried out within one single environment allows a great gain in set-up time and an increased reliability. Moreover, one single step for the installation process is required.
Setup and start complete FSI simulations using only one software, FINETM/FSI-OOFELIE.
Applications include among others:
Wing flutter or buffeting>
Wind turbine blade deformation
Fuel tank sloshing
FSI in hypersonic rocket nozzle
Missiles subsonic wing oscillations
Thermal deformation
FINETM/FSI-OOFELIE combines the benefits of the powerful CFD software FINETM/Open with OpenLabsTM, including its mesh generator HEXPRESSTM, with the multi-physics capabilities of Oofelie, bringing the added value of a fully integrated environment for fluid structure interaction.
Key features:
Two-way strong coupling: equilibrium between fluid and solid at each time step
Steady and Unsteady computations. 2D and 3D capabilities.
Non-conformal meshes at the interface: finer fluid domain resolution possible
Structures: linear and nonlinear analysis. Elastic and thermo-elastic computations.
Scripting capability.
