NOGRID Points Software Release 6.2.0 on Market

NOGRID points 6.2.0 release is available now. NOGRID points software is based on the meshless Finite Pointset Method (FPM), is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package for simulation tasks.

The company implemented new features as solutions for simulation projects and optimization studies, including:

• A Bingham-Herschel-Bulkley viscosity model has been implemented.
• Smoothing of the smoothing length in some H_adaptGeo setups during initial point filling has been accelerated and requirements are less demanding now.
• A semi-implicit scheme for the bubble algorithm for the vp- solver has been implemented. It replaces a computationally expensive and less stable predictor-corrector scheme.
• A new keyword BND_free_bubble has been added to simplify the setup of a model with bubbles.
• For (almost) isolated free surface points in narrow under-resolved gaps, the adjacent wall boundary condition is used to effectively close off those gaps. Otherwise local high velocities might appear, bringing down time step size and increasing computation time.
• The loading of previous computation results given in Ensight format (either wall points or a volume point cloud) via assign has been repaired. The setting of initial data according to the loaded data has been improved.
