ADVENTURECluster Overview

Overwhelming calculation speed
Calculate a model that you had given up on due to scale with full assembly

ADVENTURECluster is a domestic large-scale structural analysis software developed by Allied Engineering Corporation (SCSK Gr.). It is capable of computing large-scale analysis models with tens to hundreds of millions of degrees of freedom at overwhelming speed. Its scalability and high speed can wipe out problems in large-scale analysis that were previously given up on, and dramatically increase the potential of CAE. In addition, because it frees users from geometry data simplification and advanced mesh modeling techniques, it is also being used by "newcomers" who are handling CAE for the first time and "designers" whose main job is not CAE. The number of users has been increasing year by year. The analysis functions are expanding year by year to meet the needs of a wide range of customers.

ADVENTURECluster Performance

Here we introduce an example of analysis simulating the engine explosion process that represents the performance of ADVENTURECluster. In automotive engine reliability analysis, there is a need for analysis that simulates multiple processes from the assembly process to engine startup and shutdown. However, there are many issues that need to be addressed in order to achieve this analysis with high accuracy. For example, in order to obtain analysis results within a limited development lead time, there may be an increase in man-hours required for manual pre-processing, such as "simplifying the CAD model shape to reduce the size of the model," or “generating mesh” generation. In addition, as the number of analysis processes are considered to increase, the analysis time increases, and in some cases, it becomes difficult to conduct a sufficient evaluation study within the limited time available. By using ADVENTURECluster, complex engine analyses with many such analysis issues can be performed with reduced scale and time constraints, making it possible to balance the trade-off between analysis accuracy and computation time.

Detailed mesh is required for accurate analysis without simplifying the model.

Automotive engine analysis requires a series of multiple processes.
  • Process 1: Press-fitting valve guides, valve seats, etc.
  • Process 2: Bolt fastening (axial load)
  • Process 3: Thermal stress calculation (temperature rise)
  • Process 4: Combustion pressure load (× number of cylinders)
  • Process 5: Thermal stress calculation (temperature drop)
「ADVENTURECluster」Solver Detailed Information

POINT1 : ～Processing time～Reduction of pre-processing hours

Even huge meshes can be generated in a short time with ADVENTURECluster

The total man-hours for pre-processing from CAD import, mesh generation, contact condition setting, and property value input are shown in the figure below. ADVENTURECluster allows for fast analysis time, so the mesh can be automatically cut uniformly and calculations can be performed without concern for the analysis scale. (Of course, the mesh size can be changed depending on the type of analysis.) Even a huge mesh with more than 6 million elements can be generated in as little as30 minutes.

POINT2 : ～Analysis time～ Overwhelming calculation speed, multi-parallel efficiency

High parallel efficiency can be maintained even when the number of parallels is increased
Overwhelming calculation speed

The graph shows a multi-process analysis of an engine calculated for each number of parallel cores. For structural analysis software, the decline in parallel efficiency becomes a major problem as the number of parallel cores increases. In addition, the larger the matrix to be solved as the number of nodes increases, the more memory is required, requiring a high-specification computer. However, ADVENTURECluster has developed a unique solution method (*CGCG method, a hybrid solution method with the direct method) that maintains high parallel efficiency and reduces memory consumption even when the number of parallels increases.

Advantages of using ADVC

Many of customers have already introduced some kind of structural analysis software. However, many issues associated with analysis work remain, including problems with analysis accuracy, calculation time, stability of contact problems, and expansion of the analysis domain. ADVENTURECluster is a software that can help with such issues.

Do you have any of these issues?
Wanted to do assembly analysis, but gave up due to scale.
Modeling technology is complicated and cannot be analyzed easily.
Calculation time is required, so sufficient analysis cannot be performed by the deadline.
ADVCsolves the problem!
Expansion of analysis coverage
  • ●From partial analysis to full model analysis in practical time
Reduction of pre-processing manhours
  • ●Shift from analysis specialists to designers
  • ●Reduction of meshing know-how by fine mesh
  • ●Prevention of evaluation omissions by simplifying geometry
Increased CAE studies
  • ●Analysis time until results are displayed is significantly shorter than before, greatly increasing the number of analysis studies within a limited time frame.
