DesignSPHysics is a software module built into FreeCAD that provides a Graphical User Interface for DualSPHysics. It is under development since September 2016 and in Beta stage.
Check the Official Webpage for downloads and more information.
DesignSPHysics enables the user to create cases with solids and fluids and exports it to a DualSPHysics compatible format. In addition, it does the hard work for the user, generating the case data automatically, simulating, and post-processing, all inside FreeCAD.
It includes support for pre-processing with GenCase, simulation with DualSPHysics and post-processign with several tools of the DualSPHysics package.
In the future the code will be modular, so integration with different SPH solvers can be used. Right now it's optimized to be used with DualSPHysics
It is developed as a FreeCAD module with a macro bootstrapper, in Python 3.5+, using the QT libraries via PySide.
This enhanced version of DualSPHysics/DesingSPHysics enables DualSPHysics simulations of Non-Newtonian and Liquid-Sediment hydrodynamics.
Liquid-Sediment tool is based on Drucker-Prager yield criterion, hence the possibilty of modelling bulk solids behaviour.
Moreover post-processing functions include the BoundaryVTK tool which enables to export rigid bodies as surface mesh, and the MKsMixing tool which enables evalution of fluid particles state of mixing.
As only limitation, DigitalDynamicsLab/DesignSPHysics will not work on GNU/Linux.
To install DualSPHysics/DesingSPHysics, open FreeCAD 0.18+ and go to the menu Macro -> Macros... From there, press the Addons... button on the bottom right corner, search for DesignSPHysics and click Install / Update. FreeCAD will advise you to reboot the application and you'll be set.
Take in mind that as it includes DualSPHysics, the package may take a while to download.
Then to install DigitalDynamicsLab/DesignSPHysics just download zipped code, unzip to %appdata%/FreeCAD/Mod, in the same directory remove the original folder DesignSPHysics and rename this way the unzipped folder.
To execute DesignSPHysics just open the FreeCAD Macro dialog and double click DesignSPHysics.
