By combining Ennova with OpenFOAM®, you not only access top-tier CAD import capabilities and state-of-the-art mesh generation but also enjoy a cost-effective, fixed-price approach to CFD. Say goodbye to steep HPC licensing expenses and welcome a contemporary graphical user interface, making simulations more budget-friendly than ever.
With the comprehensive pre- and post-processing capabilities offered in commercial CFD software, larger organizations have traditionally been well-equipped for CFD simulations. In contrast, smaller organizations with limited budgets often resorted to open-source software like OpenFOAM. However, this approach came with its own set of challenges, including a lack of a modern user interface, limitations in CAD data management, and less advanced mesh generation capabilities.
Now, a superior choice has emerged: Ennova CFD. Ennova offers top-tier CAD import functionality powered by Techsoft 3D’s Hoops Exchange, enabling seamless CAD data management across various formats and standards. It excels in CAD cleanup and boasts state-of-the-art mesh generation capabilities, developed by the same team behind the acclaimed ICEM CFD software. Ennova further streamlines the process with an intuitive GUI for OpenFOAM® setup and seamless integration with other popular CFD packages. To complete the package, Ennova’s post-processing capabilities are driven by VTK, the same technology that powers Paraview.
By utilizing Ennova alongside OpenFOAM®, you not only gain access to cutting-edge simulation features but also embrace an economical, fixed-price model for your CFD journey, free from the constraints of exorbitant HPC licensing costs. This opens the door to advanced simulations that are both accessible and budget-friendly.”
Meshing is crucial for CFD and FEA, but it can be time-consuming, especially with complex geometries. Achieving a balance between mesh quality, computational efficiency, and project timelines is a challenge. With Ennova, engineers can streamline the process and save time while maintaining accuracy. With Ennova you have more time to focus on simulations rather than on meshing and geometry clean up.
In this video we present an overview of the Ennova approach. It is under three minutes and gives the philosophy of our technology.
Veiw the setup & execution including geometry import, boundary condition assignment, launching OpenFOAM®, and result visualization in Ennova.
Ennova can seamlessly integrate into your established CFD workflow, enhancing its efficiency and capabilities. With its user-friendly GUI, it simplifies the setup of popular CFD packages, such as OpenFOAM®, while offering advanced CAD import, cleanup, and meshing tools. By incorporating Ennova into your workflow, you can streamline your processes, save time, and reduce costs. It provides an affordable alternative to expensive HPC licenses and empowers you to maximize your computational resources. Whether you’re conducting simulations on low-cost Linux clusters or cloud computing, Ennova can help you achieve more while maintaining the same familiar workflow.
Ennova provides excellent opportunity for working with OpenFOAM®
In this section, you’ll find answers to some of the common inquiries that may arise about Ennova CFD, Pre- and Post Processer for CFD.
No, Ennova is proprietary software developed by Ennova Technologies, the very team behind ICEM CFD. It's important to note that Ennova does not impose charges for the solver, which is OpenFOAM.
No, Ennova only does the installation for Ennova. OpenFOAM has to be installed separately by the user. However user only needs to select the OpenFOAM version installed and Ennova initiates the run.
Ennova uses a proprietary parallel architecture that utilizes modern multi-core CPU's to speed up CAD import, CAD cleanup and mesh generation by factors of 10x or 100x
Within your present workflow Ennova can be used as meshing tool if you don't want to change your solver. Thanks to the advanced geometry clean-up and meshing capabilities, you can generate high quality mesh in fraction of the time and then use your own solver for running the simulations.
