[Blog] <Thorough Comparison> How to Choose Fluid Analysis Software? Differences Between ANSYS Discovery, Autodesk CFD, and ANSYS Fluent, and the Optimal HPC Environment

We provide support from hardware to software implementation!

OpenFOAM is a fluid simulation software that allows for numerical fluid analysis free of charge. Software for such fluid analysis includes ANSYS's FLUENT and CFX, as well as CD-adapco's STAR-CD and STAR-CCM+. However, depending on the module configuration, some of these software packages can have high annual usage fees. That is why Applied is currently supporting the transition to OpenFOAM, which can be used for free. This time, we will also introduce suitable hardware for using OpenFOAM. ■ Various parts can be customized according to your needs! ■ Recommended models based on application and software usage are also available! ■ On-site hardware maintenance can be added! *For a fee

In civil engineering sites, the use of sheet piling methods is essential for safely utilizing the site, including temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways. Traditionally, steel plates have been widely used, but due to their weight, they can be cumbersome to transport, install, and remove. Hyper CLT sheet piles are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil use. The 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle with small machinery, contributing to reduced burdens during installation and improved work efficiency. They can be utilized in a wide range of civil engineering sites for measures against muddy conditions, ground protection, heavy machinery scaffolding, and ensuring pedestrian pathways. As a registered technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS "TH-250021-A," it is also recommended as a material for innovative ideas, safety measures, and environmental considerations in public works.

Fukuda's new flagship model. - Masterless type (FLA-0200 series) - General type (FLA-0201 series) Two models of air leak testers. With the mastering correction function, high-precision measurements can be achieved in a short time. Please take a look at the catalog.

Fukuda Co., Ltd., which develops, manufactures, and sells leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing performance, provides a technical document that clearly explains the methods and theories of airtight testing, titled "Technical Manual." We are offering it as a PDF file. Please take this opportunity to download and view it!
