Software
Zentech has always recognised the benefit of consultancy services to the ongoing development of successful proprietary software in addition to the need to provide bespoke software solutions when required.
Zentech has developed a number of engineering application software programs, including Zencrack, ZenRiser, and Pipeline for varied applications:
- Zencrack: Develops focussed finite element meshes at crack tips
and evaluates fracture mechanics parameters (e.g. stress intensity
factor, energy release rate). The software uses these parameters to
carry out 3D crack propagation simulations, assessment of crack
initiation fracture toughness, residual life prediction, and to help
create failure assessment diagrams. A range of loading histories is
supported for general fatigue and creep loading systems. The software is
interfaced with Abaqus, Ansys, and Simcenter Nastran finite element
codes.
- ZenRiser: Performs non-linear dynamic analysis for design and
analysis of flexible riser and umbilical configurations. This also
includes installation of large diameter HDPE outfall pipes by a floatout
and sink method.
- Pipeline: Performs fast 3D static, non-linear stress analysis of various situations encountered during offshore pipeline installation and operation. This includes pipe laying using a barge with stinger or ramp.
Consultancy projects leverage these tools as required. In addition, we have experience of bespoke software development for clients to implement specific features within our existing software and to develop stand-alone software for specific tasks.
For multiphysics simulation, the team at PhasePot would be happy to assist you in your research project by examining the microstructure in question and finding ways to improve the process and product.
We can help you in this pursuit by creating a tailor-made software package with special features to address key objectives of your research project.
PhasePot is a user-friendly and versatile tool that you can plug and
play on your laptop. However, we can help you with A to Z of
microstructure simulation to address your real engineering problems by
offering you our consultancy services and help you get the results that
you are looking for.
Zencrack
A state-of-the-art software tool for 3D fracture mechanics simulation. Zencrack utilises the finite element method via interfaces to Abaqus, Ansys and Simcenter Nastran to allow calculation of fracture mechanics parameters such as energy release rate and stress intensity factors. These parameters are used to drive crack growth simulation.
Zenriser
Performs 3D non-linear analyses of offshore flexible or rigid riser or pipe systems subject to wave and current loading. The motions of up to two vessels may be defined and applied at any end of any pipe as a boundary condition.
Pipeline
Performs fast 3D static, non-linear stress analysis of various situations encountered during offshore pipeline installation and operation, e.g. laying, lifting or pulling, towing, spanning on an irregular seabed and installation start-up, recovery and abandonment procedures.
PhasePot
PhasePot is a Multiphysics simulation program coupled with CALPHAD for materials process modelling. PhasePot integrates the phase-field and Monte-Carlo Potts methods for efficient simulation of polycrystalline microstructures in 2D.
