The Challenge
HyPerComp Inc., a leading software company in the aerospace industry, specializes in the development and dissemination of high-performance computational technologies. These technologies employ parallel computing code/hardware architectures and physics-based mathematical models to solve a wide range of problems in both defense and commercial applications. The company's technology strengths include general geometry CAD modeling and repair, unstructured hybrid gridding, user-friendly GUI-based preprocessing, domain decomposition tools for fine-grain parallel architectures, higher order accurate space and time discretization for solving linear/nonlinear partial differential equations, solution acceleration techniques, and knowledge-based expert system shells. However, the company faced challenges in converting customer-provided geometries from IGES format into internal ICEM CFD formats for subsequent processing. The need for a solution that could generate high-quality grids with minimum pre-processing and setup requirements was evident.
The Solution
HyPerComp Inc. adopted the ANSYS ICEM CFD tools to address its challenges. These tools were primarily used to convert customer-provided geometries from IGES format into internal ICEM CFD formats for subsequent processing. The ICEM CFD Tetra and Hexa products were primarily used to generate unstructured meshes. The ICEM CFD domain format was then converted to HyPerComp UX format for use in the company’s domain decomposition tools. The ANSYS ICEM CFD software provided HyPerComp with mesh generation tools that were extremely powerful and user-friendly. The ICEM CFD Tetra tool automatically generated high-quality grids with minimum pre-processing and setup requirements. The Mesh editor also had very useful and potent repair capabilities.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of ANSYS ICEM CFD tools significantly improved HyPerComp's operational efficiency. The software provided powerful and user-friendly mesh generation tools, enabling the company to convert customer-provided geometries into usable formats with ease. The ICEM CFD Tetra tool automatically generated high-quality grids, reducing the need for extensive pre-processing and setup. Additionally, the Mesh editor offered potent repair capabilities, further enhancing the company's ability to handle complex geometries. Overall, the adoption of ANSYS ICEM CFD tools resulted in a shorter turnaround time for HyPerComp, allowing the company to deliver its high-performance computational technologies more efficiently.
