About SWS

Presenting you the future ready CFD platform

simulationHub web services, SWS, is a cloud-based platform that facilitates engineers to perform CFD calculations in a fully managed and scalable cloud infra. You concentrate on your CFD problem and we take care of all the HPC infra required to run your jobs.

SWS Platform is an intelligent platform. It offers smart CFD focused web services. We do auto CAD cleanup, smart meshing and solver parameters setup, smart post-processing for you, tremendously reducing the inputs a traditional CFD software operator inserts to perform a simulation.

SWS offers extended services in domains connected to CFD applications viz. geometry processing, weather information, terrain information, etc.

What the SWS platform does for you

Auto CAD cleanup

Smart meshing

Solver parameters setup

Smart post-processing

Fully managed, scalable HPC cloud infra

You concentrate on your CFD problem, and SWS takes care of the HPC infrastructure required to run your jobs.

From CAD geometry to CFD results, in the cloud

A complete CFD workflow can be automated end-to-end using the SWS web services.

01

Fluid volume extraction

Automatic CAD cleanup and fluid volume extraction from solid and surface geometries.

02

CFD meshing

Good quality mesh generated from your fluid volume, with mesh quality checks.

03

CFD solver

Subsonic, steady-state and turbulent flow simulations on managed cloud resources.

04

Post processing

High-quality results: 2D contour plots, path lines and surface pressure plots.

SWS APIs

Smart, CFD-focused web services

Each stage of a CFD simulation is available as a web service, along with extended services for geometry, terrain and weather information.

Core CFD workflow services

Fluid Volume Extraction (FVE)

The FVE stack offers automatic CAD cleanup and extraction of fluid volume from solid as well as surface geometries. It can extract fluid volume from many geometrical file formats. It can automatically close the open geometries for you.

CFD meshing

This set of web services offers multiple options to generate a good quality mesh from your fluid volume. It also offers an independent service to check mesh quality or set up meshing parameters on your own.

CFD solver

SWS currently offers subsonic, steady-state and turbulent flow simulations. These services can import mesh in multiple formats. You may specify what sort of resources you want your simulation job to run on, or leave it to us and we decide what's best for your simulation.

Post processing

This set of web services offers capabilities to generate high-quality post-processed CFD results, both for simulations done on the SWS Platform and those done on your premises. Post-processing capabilities include 2D contour plots, path lines and surface pressure plots.

Extended services

Terrain generation

SWS has an extended web service to get the terrain geometry in STL format for any given patch of earth. This is quite useful in the AEC sector.

Weather data

The SWS stack of services also includes querying historical weather information. This is a useful service for CFD with urban / city development use cases.

SWS app examples

Engineering simulation apps built on SWS

SWS platform offers the range of APIs to quickly develop and deploy CFD simulation apps. It has all the building blocks to develop easy-to-use cloud-based apps. See how SWS is used to develop engineering simulation apps.

Autonomous HVAC CFD (AHC) app logo

Autonomous HVAC CFD [AHC]

This app is built for HVAC designers and generates occupant thermal comfort for various HVAC system configurations. Complete CFD workflow is automated using SWS meshing, simulation, post-processing and report generation APIs.

Autonomous Valve CFD (AVC) app logo

Autonomous Valve CFD [AVC]

This app is built for control valve designers and calculates valve performance curves like CV, KV, and Cdt just by providing a 3D CAD model of a control valve. Complete CFD workflow is automated using SWS meshing, simulation, post-processing and report generation APIs.

Pedestrian Comfort Analysis (PCA) app logo

Pedestrian Comfort Analysis [PCA]

The PCA app estimates pedestrian comfort conditions in an urban environment. The app is designed for architects and urban planners, and only needs a building mass model and site location. The comfort plot using various comfort criteria is calculated using SWS weather data, meshing, simulation, post and report generation APIs.
