Description

Enhance engineering processes with the only comprehensive and user-friendly CFD platform designed for multidisciplinary design and optimization. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) plays a crucial role in multiphysics system analysis, allowing for the simulation of fluid behavior and thermodynamic characteristics through advanced numerical models. Engineers leverage the Cadence Fidelity CFD platform for various design tasks, including propulsion, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and combustion, to enhance product efficiency while minimizing the need for costly and time-intensive physical testing. This robust Fidelity CFD platform offers a seamless end-to-end solution tailored for applications across aerospace, automotive, turbomachinery, and marine sectors. With its efficient workflows, massively parallel architecture, and cutting-edge solver technology, the platform delivers remarkable performance and accuracy, significantly boosting engineering productivity in addressing contemporary design challenges. Ultimately, Fidelity stands out by not only simplifying complex processes but also enabling engineers to innovate rapidly and effectively.

Description

OpenFAST is a publicly accessible wind turbine simulation software created by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). It enhances the earlier FAST v8 code, merging elements of aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, control mechanisms, and structural dynamics to facilitate detailed, coupled nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic time-domain simulations of wind turbines. The tool accommodates various setups, such as onshore, fixed-bottom offshore, and floating offshore turbines. Designed to cultivate an open source developer community among research institutions, industry players, and academic circles, OpenFAST offers a comprehensive software engineering framework that includes well-structured source code, automated testing processes, and compatibility across multiple platforms. Significant updates from FAST v8.16 to OpenFAST feature the creation of a new GitHub repository that centralizes modules, glue codes, and compiling utilities; a revised versioning system; and the implementation of unit testing at the subroutine level. This evolution not only improves functionality but also enhances collaboration opportunities among users and developers involved in wind energy research.
