Description
Developing particle simulations for Autodesk 3ds Max can be achieved with greater efficiency than many competing fluid dynamics plugins, enabling artists without coding or scripting skills to utilize a flexible procedural geometry modifier with ease. This tool also offers an intuitive channel-editing interface, akin to what is found in node-based image compositing software. Unlike the Autodesk 3ds Max SDK, it does not provide optimized geometry and particle lookup functions, which is where AWS Thinkbox Stoke excels, allowing for the rapid generation of expansive particle clouds. Additionally, it supports various formats, including PRT and RealFlow BIN, while also facilitating simulations from several popular plugins like FumeFX, Particle Flow, cebas thinkingParticles, and 3ds Max Force Space Warps. Users can create and simulate new fields, such as velocity fields, as well as manage field data through widely accepted formats. This functionality can be seamlessly integrated with 3ds Max subsystems, including Particle Flow, MassFX, Hair and Fur, and various materials and renderers. The user-friendly nature of this solution empowers artists to focus on their creative process without the burden of technical complexities.
Description
MFiX, which stands for Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchanges, serves as an open-source solver designed for multiphase flow and is recognized as NETL’s primary suite of computational fluid dynamics tools for simulating reacting multiphase flows. It has established itself as a benchmark for the comparison, implementation, and assessment of constitutive models in multiphase flow scenarios and has been utilized across a wide variety of multiphase flow devices and industrial applications. Offering various modeling techniques, MFiX includes the Two-Fluid Model, Discrete Element Model, Coarse-Grained Particle DEM, Superquadric Particle DEM, Glued-Sphere Particle DEM, Particle-in-Cell model, hybrid approaches, and a dedicated single-phase solver tailored for granular flows. These advanced models enable the simulation of numerous systems such as gasifiers, circulating fluidized bed combustors, fluidized beds, fluid catalytic crackers, and chemical looping combustion systems, addressing complex interactions involving hydrodynamics, heat transfer, species transport, and various chemical reactions. As a result, MFiX contributes significantly to the understanding and optimization of these intricate processes in both research and industrial settings.
