Design

ARTES enables users to customise predefined designs or create geometries from scratch. Parametric settings can be tailored to the requirements of each simulation.

Predefined geometries cover four configurations. Geometry parameters include shoulder radius, rear length, and front angle.

Mesh

ARTES integrates geometry parametrisation and automatic mesh generation, reducing meshing effort and accelerating design-space exploration. When geometry is updated, the mesh is regenerated automatically.

Farfield and surface-normal mesh cells are aligned to the body surface and farfield. During simulation, automatic shock adaptation refines the mesh around the shock to improve shock-layer resolution.

Simulation

Built on the validated NSMB CFD solver, ARTES combines reliable, high-fidelity simulations with an automated workflow. Its solver supports multiblock, parallelized, high-fidelity computation.

Processing

Integrated post-processing helps users analyse and visualise CFD results, turning simulation data into actionable insights. The flyer illustrates heat-flux and temperature contours for an ARV-1 capsule.
