Description
Summary:Summary While modern CFD tools are able to provide the user with reliable and accurate simulations, there is a strong need for interactive design and analysis tools. State‐of‐the‐art CFD software employs massive resources in terms of CPU time, user interaction, and also GPU time for rendering and analysis. In this work, we develop an innovative tool able to provide a seamless bridge between artistic design and engineering analysis. This platform has three main ingredients: computer vision to avoid long user interaction at the pre‐processing stage, machine learning to avoid costly CFD simulations, and augmented reality for an agile and interactive post‐processing of the results.
