UDM (Unified Data Modelling)

Roadmap - "S:\Research Directorate\Engineering Design\Projects\Digital design\Roadmap.xlsx"Plan - "S:\Research Directorate\Engineering Design\Projects\Capability Development\UDM\UDM plan.xlsx"

Open Source FEA software

FEA, CFD, SPH (Small Particle Hydrodynamics)

Benchmarking

NAFEMS Benchmark tests

Assess correctness/accuracy

Assess relative performance

Like for like i.e. same no of cores

Increase in performance given use of i.e. extra cores without the need for additional licenses?

Tests / trials

What should these tests be?

Follow Abaqus benchmarks

Codes

GiD - universal pre and post processor. NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational Basis Spline [B-Spline]) surfaces for geometry definintion.Not Free.Code comparison: "S:\Research Directorate\Engineering Design\Projects\Capability Development\UDM\UDM plan.xlsx"
