Coreform Cubit: Essential for Nuclear Simulation

Coreform Cubit is used in nuclear simulation workflows as a Python-scriptable meshing software with a simple graphical user experience. Coreform Cubit is often the recommended choice for government and open-sourced codes such as MOOSE, OpenMC, and MCNP. Coreform Cubit is compatible with and closely related to the government-use CUBIT® code. Coreform Cubit has several commercial enhancements, including:

 

  • Direct CAD importers
  • Fully integrated neutronics workflows
  • Technical support
  • Responsive bug fixing

Coreform Cubit accelerates CFD simulations for leading provider of sustainable energy solutions

We estimate that on average, we save five hours per project doing preprocessing in Coreform Cubit compared to our previous meshing software, ICEM.

Fusion Research and Industry

Coreform Cubit is used for fusion workflows, including neutronics, finite element analysis, and computational fluid dynamics. Because of Coreform Cubit’s origins in the US national laboratories, it has long been the choice of engineers and scientists doing groundbreaking research and development across industries, including fusion.

As fusion private industry grows, researchers who have exited the labs and entered private industry transition are able to transition to commercial workflows by using Coreform Cubit. In addition to the familiar CUBIT® workflows, Coreform Cubit offers import of commercial CAD files, including SolidWorks, Catia, NX, and PRO/E, fully integrated neutronics workflows, and technical support.

Nuclear Fission Simulations

Coreform Cubit is used with OpenMC and MCNP by many leading nuclear fission companies to prepare complex parts for simulation. Coreform Cubit’s scriptable Python user interface, tight workflows => simulations with MOOSE, advanced hex meshing schemes, and neutronics simulation workflows assist users preparing neutronics, FEA, CFD, and multiphysics workflows.

Leading structural digital twin company Akselos relies on Coreform Cubit to efficiently mesh complex models

“Our production team has used Coreform Cubit extensively on a daily basis across the team for over five years. We have found Coreform Cubit to be a fully comprehensive, powerful, fast and intuitive meshing tool, which our customers often end up using as well. We have built many plugins to our software that run Coreform Cubit meshes automatically based on Python scripts. Coreform Cubit remains our preferred meshing technology.”
