ENGYS and RBF Morph announced a partnership to bring rbfCAE mesh morphing and shape optimization software into CFD workflows using HELYX and ELEMENTS.
rbfCAE is built on Radial Basis Function (RBF) technology. The software supports mesh morphing, shape optimization, fluid-structure interaction (FSI), reduced-order modelling (ROM) and virtual reality (VR) integration to simulation-driven design work.
rbfCAE lets engineers modify complex geometries on existing simulation meshes. The approach avoids repeated geometry regeneration and mesh reconstruction for each design change. The software combination applies to simulation workflows in automotive, aerospace, marine, energy and biomedical engineering.
“HELYX and ELEMENTS provide engineers with highly-scalable CFD capabilities for simulation-driven design. By adding rbfCAE to this process, we are extending those capabilities with advanced mesh morphing, geometry parameterization, optimization and FSI.” said Francisco Campos, director of operations at ENGYS. “This partnership will enable our users to take full advantage of our open-source CFD tools to explore more design alternatives, automate optimization studies, and integrate shape modification directly into their simulation workflows without the need for repeated remeshing.”
“This collaboration with ENGYS strengthens our mission to make advanced mesh morphing and optimization technologies more accessible to engineers worldwide,” said Marco Evangelos Biancolini, founder of RBF Morph and Professor at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. “By combining rbfCAE with HELYX and ELEMENTS, users can benefit from an integrated workflow that supports design exploration, optimization, and multidisciplinary simulation.”
