No matter what CFD platform you are using, you will undoubtedly have to make CAD geometry ready for use in a simulation. This guide details what is involved in preparing the geometry for bramble. For bramble, CAD needs to be turned into a triangulated mesh format...

In a recent article we covered how we went about migrating from a commercial CFD software package to OpenFOAM. After discussing this further with a colleague, another interesting bit of learning came up – the Pareto Principle, otherwise know as the 80/20 rule....

When a simulation completes, we want to quickly determine what the effect of our test was. How have the forces and flow metrics changed, and perhaps more importantly, where and why have they changed? bramble produces a detailed set of forces, flow metrics and... by Ivor Annetts | Sep 30, 2022 | Bramble Blog
Back in the early-2000s some of our longer serving (older!) staff, myself included, were working at British American Racing. For those who may not know, this was a Formula 1 team that would eventually transition into Mercedes F1. We were getting into optimisation as...

When is a simulation complete? When it finishes solving, or when the postpro has generated, or even when someone has written a report? In bramble, it is when an engineer ‘signs-off’ the case, putting their name against its lifecycle. Signing-off a case lets other...
