The Department of Energy needs a HUBZone-certified small business to develop and maintain a multiphysics simulation framework.
Key Details
The Department of Energy needs a multiphysics simulation framework that can tackle complex problems with a fully coupled, implicit solver. The framework should be able to scale to over 100,000 CPU cores for large-scale computations and have dimension-independent physics and ~30 pluggable interfaces. The framework should also have an intuitive API and flexible GUI to simplify the user experience from setup to execution.
