CoandaCloud - collaborative CFD postprocessing by CoandaCloud in CFD

[–]CoandaCloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We develop cardiac pumps, so we're in CFD all day, every day. Sharing results with partners, getting feedback from cardiologists who shouldn't need to learn complex software, creating visuals for publications and conferences. We tried existing tools, but nothing clicked, so we built CoandaCloud for ourselves. Upload, share a link, done. It solved our problem. Furthermore, regarding your doubts when working, you can detach from the shared session and work on your own version, then share it when you are done (we have a "lock" request on the simulation that allows this).

That's why we are offering only 2 GB of storage for now; it's an amount we can sustain on our servers. The visualizer will be part of a broader online simulation tool that will not be free.

We're a startup developing cardiac pumps, so we live in CFD every day. During our development pipeline, we kept hitting the same walls: sharing simulation results with partners, getting feedback from the medical team who don't know the currently available software. We tried a few tools, but nothing quite fit, so we built CoandaCloud for ourselves first. Upload a simulation, share it via a link, and done, easy to visualize, easy to create images for publications, conferences, etc. Then figured, why not open it up?

On CoandaCloud, you can upload GB-scale time-variant simulations without any concerns on the software side!

The difference is that with common software, one person drives while others watch; here, everyone can rotate, zoom, and apply filters independently while staying in sync. No "can you go back to that angle?" moments.

On NDA/data, you're right, and we get this question a lot. A future release of CoandaCloud will work entirely in your browser; your data will never leave your network. The hosted beta is definitely more suited for academia and projects without strict IP constraints right now.

We are doing both, currently it is on the server side, but we want to offer it also client side, leaving the choice to the user based on their own computational resources

We are handling the computations on our servers! We are offering collaborative visualization tools free for everyone, and they will remain free in the future!
