Announcement Alert: A successful collaboration between SimVantage and KaleidoSim Technologies AG (May 22th, 2022)

A successful cooperation between SimVantage (www.simvantage.com) and KaleidoSim (www.kaleidosim.com)  resulted in an intuitive GUI as well as a reliable and secure platform for SimVantage’s reactor simulation software to offer their simulation program as a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service.

The HUBCAP project: A new cooperation between KaleidoSim Technologies AG and MultiFluidX(March 24th, 2022)

We have been recently selected to be part of the EU-wide Hubcap program, in which we will cooperate with our new partner “MultiFluidX” (https://multifluidx.com/) to investigate on large-scale safe storage and transportation conditions for liquid hydrogen fuel. At KaleidoSim (https://app.kaleidosim.com/login) we specialize in revolutionizing HPC based Engineering by lifting workflows to the cloud. Thus we will provide the outstanding software of MultifluidX with the ability to compute 100s of simulation cases simultaneously in the cloud and at the ease of a click. Increasing data density, efficiency and insight into the most complex processes involving liquid hydrogen.

A successful project between ICP_ZHAW and KaleidoSim Technologies AG (December 26th, 2021)

Dario VanOerle, student at ICP_ZHAW , presented his bachelor thesis “Aerodynamic Characterization of Jet Planes and Spaceships”, supervised by Prof. Gernot Boiger, our collaborator at ICP_ZHAW . He has developed a seamless workflow which allows users to fully computationally characterize aerodynamic frames in less than 1h. More specifically hundreds of turbulent flow-simulation were conducted in OpenFOAM in order to derive pairs of drag- and lift- coefficients for as many angles of attack. Our OpenFOAM KaleidoSim platform (app.kaleidosim.com) provided approximately 5000 vCPUh to doing the process within 45 minutes.

Conference update: 16th International Conference of Multiphysics (December 9th, 2021)

In 16th International Conference of Multiphysics, Prof. Gernot Boiger, our collaborator at ICP_ZHAW has talked about “A Massive Simultaneous Cloud Computing Platform for Multiphysics Simulations”. This talk was basically about our OpenFOAM Kaleidosim platform (app.kaleidosim.com) that enables MSCC functionality for any Multiphysics simulation software to run any Multiphysics simulation in the cloud within minutes. Below are listed some features:

• The Self-Compile option;
• How to run and evaluate 160 simulation runs in 15 minutes.
• The Kaleidoscope Feature enabling the automated creation of large parameter studies;
• The Katana file downloader;
• Python based post-processing;
• The API Application Programming;

Feature update: Latest Version of OpenFOAM released (November 16th, 2021)

At KaleidoSim, we believe in never stopping!
We proudly announce that OpenFOAM version 8 and brand new OpenFOAM version 9 are available via KaleidoSim so that we can always support new features of simulations tools.

Conference update: 9th ESI OpenFOAM Conference (October 20th, 2021)

Prof. Gernot Boiger, our collaborator at ICP_ZHAW has recently participated in 9th ESI OpenFOAM Conference 2021 and talked about “A Massive Simultaneous Cloud Computing Platform for OpenFOAM”. This talk was basically about our OpenFOAM Kaleidosim platform (app.kaleidosim.com) and focused on some of its many exciting features:

• The instructive web-browser-based user interface (Web Interface);
• How to run and evaluate 160 simulation runs in 20 minutes.
•The Massive Simultaneous Cloud Computing (MSCC) feature which allows the orchestration of up to 500 cloud-based OpenFOAM simulation runs simultaneously;
• The Katana file downloader;
• Python based post-processing;

Conference update: 10th math2Market's GeoDict User Meeting (October 6th, 2021)

A successful cooperation between ICP_ZHAW and KaleidoSim resulted in a talk about “Generation of virtual three-phase structures based on Gaussian random fields” at 10th Math2Market‘s GeoDict User Meeting. This talk was basically focused on Digital Material Design (DMD) of solid oxide fuel cell electrodes. With the GeoDict Cloud based platform powerd by KaleidoSim, hundreds of virtual microstructures can be studied in parallel in a very short time using massive simultaneous cloud computing (MSCC). The statistical analysis of these results leads to new design guidelines for electrodes with improved properties.

Feature update: Kaleidoscope (September 1st, 2021)

The R&D cooperation between ZHAW/ICP and KaleidoSim has resulted in the release of the latest Kaleidoscope feature within KaleidoSim cloud platform, advancing the benefits of MSCC (Massive Simultaneous Cloud Computing). Extremely large parameter studies consisting of 100s of OpenFOAM simulation cases can now be generated, run and evaluated simultaneously in the cloud. This capability was designed to produce very large amounts of simulation data in extraordinarily short amounts of time.

Feature update : Automate Paraview post-processing (August 15th, 2021)

Wondering how to automate Paraview post-processing using KaleidoSim cloud software ?

In this tutorial video, Prof. G. Boiger of ICP -Institute of Computational Physics , ZHAW -Zurich University of Applied Sciences, demonstrates how to activate Paraview’s ‘Python Trace’ function to record, modify, upload and run a Python script in the cloud. The script operated paraview in batch-mode and thus automatically visualizes simulation results and creates screenshots.
