Challenge	HyPerComp Inc., a company that develops high-performance computing technologies for defense, energy, and commercial product design, faced a significant challenge in accurately simulating the various linear and nonlinear processes that govern a physical phenomenon. The company's work involves complex, multidisciplinary physical processes, and a high-quality mesh is a critical necessity for these simulations. The company usually receives geometries in IGES format, which are then imported into their system. However, the existing process was not efficient enough, and the company needed a solution that could provide high-quality meshes suitable for the most demanding higher order solvers. Read More
About Customer	HyPerComp Inc. is a company based in the United States that specializes in developing user-friendly, high-performance computing technologies. The company combines advances in physics-based numerical algorithms and parallel computing hardware to provide cost-effective simulations of complex, multidisciplinary physical processes. Their work supports various sectors, including defense, energy, and commercial product design. The company's focus is on creating technologies that can accurately simulate the various linear and nonlinear processes that govern a physical phenomenon, which is a critical requirement for their simulations.

Solution	HyPerComp Inc. turned to ANSYS ICEM CFD tools to generate tetrahedral, hexahedral, and hybrid unstructured grids. These grids are then used by their higher order CEM, CFD, and MHD solvers. The company also used ANSYS ICEM CFD geometry generation tools to create a variety of CAD models for subsequent analysis. Both Tetra and Hexa, components of the ANSYS ICEM CFD tools, produce very high-quality meshes that meet the company's requirements. The ANSYS ICEM CFD domain format is then converted into HyPerComp solvers format and used by domain decomposition tools for subsequent parallel runs. This solution provided the company with a fast and efficient mesh parameter setup, versatile mesh repair capabilities, an intuitive mesh editor GUI design, and robust geometry generation tools.
