MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center used Coreform Cubit to create all-hexahedral boundary layer meshes for OpenFOAM flow simulations and FESTIM tritium transport modeling, supporting research into fusion fuel extraction systems.

By preserving exact CAD geometries, eliminating overlaps, and automating exports to DAGMC and Exodus, Coreform Cubit supplied the reliable, reproducible meshing foundation the fusion neutronics research required. The result is a robust, scriptable pipeline from CAD to transport and decay photon source sampling, supporting confident dose rate predictions for complex tokamak systems.

Bill Ellis, from UKAEA, breaks down the project involving the simulation of a large 4,000-part CAD assembly using Coreform Cubit software.

To mesh assemblies of thousands of components for highly accurate simulations, Akselos uses the scripting power of Coreform Cubit
