Open Source

For our customers, FLUIDIAN acts as a consulting company in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) open-source softwares. Indeed, we are specialized in customizing and engineering global solutions based on open-source softwares and librairies.

 We make use of open-source components which we customize and further develop to fit our customer’s needs and requirements. In some cases, we develop interfaces between these components so as to automate specific processes. We also implement additional layers needed for coherence of the simulation phase.

 Here under is a list of open-source tools we make use of in our daily work.

 

CAE Linux  is our favorite Linux distribution. It includes a large number of data processing and simulation tools. It is based on an Ubuntu distribution and integrates Open-Source office tools, a browser and email client.


Salome  is a simulation platform developed by CEA, EDF and OpenCascade. It integrates a 3D modelling engine, mesh libraries for 2D and 3D as well as a post-processing module.


Code_Saturne is a CFD computation engine developed by EDF. It allows modelling incompressible and dilatable flows with or without turbulence and heat transfers.


Paraview is a 3D visualization software developed by KitWare. Users may swiftly build visualizations to analyse their results. Navigation through these results may be interactive in a 3D GUI or automated through batch scripts.


OpenFoam is a CFD engine developed by SGI. It integrates a large number of physical models related to fluid dynamics.


Gmsh is a software and a mesh library. Generating mesh can be done in its graphical interface or in a third party software using the library. Gmsh is light, fast and processes can be automated through a dedicated scripting language.
