Case Study: Software Engineering Dept. achieves faster moving object simulation with Hexagon scSTREAM

Software Engineering Dept - Customer Case Study

The Software Engineering Dept. at Cradle CFD, the software vendor, sought to enhance the moving object function within its scSTREAM structured mesh software. The challenge was to overcome limitations in its existing function, such as high computational loads, long calculation times, an inability to use parallel computing, and the need to simulate complex physics like thermal conductivity between moving objects.

Hexagon's solution involved a collaborative development process with its user base to implement parallel computing and advanced thermal analysis capabilities for moving objects in scSTREAM. This resulted in dramatically faster computation times, with some user cases being solved in a day instead of a week compared to unstructured mesh software, and significantly expanded the range of applications for which the software could be used.
