Objective:

Learn about the CFD options possible with nTop

Solution:

There are different pathways for you to export your geometry out of nTop and run CFD. You can choose the path based on your requirements:
IntegrationSolver TechnologyBest Used For
Tools for Rapid Iteration / Design Exploration
nTop FluidsNativeLattice Boltzmann (LBM)Internal flow
SimScaleImplicit InteropImmersed Boundary (IBM)Conjugate heat transfer
Luminary CloudImplicit InteropRANS (GPU-based)External aerodynamics
Hexagon scSTREAMImplicit InteropImmersed Boundary (IBM)Electronics cooling
Tools for Design Validation
Ansys FluentMesh-based translationRANS (CPU/GPU)Any
Siemens Simcenter Star CCM+Mesh-based translationRANSAny
As of today, these are the available options. This will evolve as we add more capability to nTop Fluids and Implicit Interop.
