  • Whats New in Cradle CFD 2025.1

       

    In this version, the latest feature of the battery safety model, a thermal runaway model based on reaction kinetics has been implemented in scFLOW. Steady-state 3D-ROM files can now be visualized in scPOST and scFLOWParametric studies have never been easier to set up, send, and monitor. When using a voxel fitting mesher, the facet accuracy can be set for each part, which is a better way to improve the shape quality. The Combustion Progress Variable (CPV) method included in LOGEacs is now available for scFLOW combustion analysis. This makes it possible to perform combustion analysis of industrial furnaces and other equipment at very high speeds. Computation time has been reduced for analyses using discontinuous junction and DEM functions. On the other hand, the new AMG solver improves robustness when dealing with coupled problems. It is now possible to set a porous material (pressure loss body) as a stationary phase in multiphase flow analysis, and it is now possible to model porous materials without expressing complex shapes. Entering large amounts of table data in STREAM is now faster and easier. In addition, the blower fan model can now set a one-dimensional flow velocity distribution at the outlet. scPOST has improved handling of large optimal plot files, dramatically improving latency and memory usage.

  • Moving Towards 1000x Productivity: Introducing Hexagon's scFAST, a fully NVIDIA GPU-Optimized CFD Solver

    Since its inception in 1984, Software Cradle has been at the forefront of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) innovation. Now part of Hexagon (following its integration into MSC Software in 2019), Cradle offers industry-leading solvers: scFLOW, designed for general fluid flow simulations using an unstructured polyhedral mesh, and scSTREAM, a fast Cartesian-mesh solver optimized for electronics cooling and thermal management.

    In our continuous drive for performance and efficiency, we have introduced scFAST, a fully GPU-optimized CFD solver. Built specifically for NVIDIA Hopper and NVIDIA Blackwell architectures, scFAST marks a significant leap in simulation speed and scalability.
