[Plugin] Khamsin (CFD Modelling) v1.0
-
Hibou Scientific Software Pty Ltd is pleased to announce the release of Khamsin version 1.0.
Khamsin, a SketchUp Plugin for CFD Modelling, allows for the set-up and management of analysis using open-source CFD tools and solvers directly from the SketchUp 3D environment. Khamsin enables the definition of all CFD simulation parameters directly within SketchUp without having to use different software for geometry definition and case setup (or hard to understand ASCII files).
Khamsin version 1.0 has been in development over the last few months and includes the following key features among other improvements:
- Amazon AWS: we introduced an option to submit and run analysis on the Amazon EC2 cloud and use the Amazon S3 storage system for analysis storage;
- Linux: while SketchUp does not work under Linux, you can now prepare and submit the analyse to a Linux computer from SketchUp on Windows;
- Installation process: the installation process has been revised to use the SketchUp rbz installation process.
Khamsin support thermal analysis, laminar and turbulent flow analysis with and without buoyancy forces, as well as two-phase laminar and turbulent flow with sharp interface (think water around a ship hull).
