Meancalc: Cost Optimisation & Quality Assurance for Precision CFD
Meancalc's intelligent run-time control optimises your simulations - eliminating wasted computing costs, ensuring accurate results, and streamlining simulation workflows. Automatically detect and remove initial transients, set statistical accuracy targets.
Let Meancalc handle the rest.
Are Your Simulations Costing You Too Much Time and Money?
To stay competitive, engineers are increasingly relying on CFD simulations. However, this raises two critical questions:
How long must the initial simulation phase be ignored before data becomes reliable?
Once steady-state is achieved, how much more data is needed for robust statistics?
Currently, many simulations are run for pre-determined durations based on user estimates, balancing computational costs against accuracy. This approach often leads to inefficiencies, wasted resources, or uncertainties.
Without intelligent runtime control, companies face delays, higher costs, and risks to project outcomes. Here’s a closer look at the challenges teams face daily:
High Costs from Long Runtimes
Fixed simulation times often result in unnecessary HPC usage, driving up costs and straining budgets without guaranteeing accurate results.
Results Skewed by
Initial Transient
Including too much early-stage data in final results distorts statistics (e.g. mean values), and creates unreliable data points that often require rework.
Excessive Energy Consumption
Overextended simulation times waste energy, raising operational costs and increasing environmental impact.
Meancalc. Smart Run-Time Control for Reliable, Cost-Efficient Simulations
Meancalc enhances simulation efficiency using statistical analysis detecting and removing initial transients during post-processing. By adding error bars to mean values, Meancalc ensures valid conclusions are drawn when comparing simulation results.
Meancalc can be embedded into automated workflows to adjust run-time dynamically based on specific accuracy targets. This ensures reliable, high-quality results while eliminating wasted HPC costs and energy.
Meancalc delivers precise, unbiased results by eliminating early signal transients. Meancalc highlights statistical convergence, estimated errors with confidence intervals, and optional statistical analyses.
