What is SC/Tetra?

SCTetra is a general-purpose thermal fluid analysis software that uses the finite volume method based on pressure and density and unstructured mesh.

SCTetra is a complete CFD, which revolutionizes the image of previous commercial CFD software products in "speed", "accuracy" and "total efficiency". It is widely used in automotive, marine, turbomachinery, heavy, power generation-related industries and in industries and facilities.

About software support

SCTetra is a professional engineering group with best-in-class recognized CFD software in the field of thermofluid analysis in Japan. Since their inception in 1984, they have worked closely with customers to understand their problems and needs and reflect them in the technological development of Cradle Software.

Key Features and Benefits

Assorted data repair functions to recover CAD data

SCTetra is equipped with many functions to repair CAD data, including the auto-wrap function in case there is any error or defect in the data.

Fast and robust automatic mesh generator

SCTetra can create meshes quickly, even for complex geometry. It uses easy-to-use GUIs that help intuitively configure mesh refinement.

Easy configuration of analysis conditions by the wizard

The wizard-guided configuration allows for ease of use without any confusion and avoids omissions in data entry.

High computing speed with low memory consumption

SCTetra has achieved low memory usage and high-speed computing using a vertex-centric scheme, so it can handle over 10 million elements using 2GB of RAM. (It may vary slightly depending on the shape of the model and the conditions of analysis.)

Cutting-edge visualization

In addition to the simple and useful visualization functions, SCTetra can create stunning presentation materials with realistic visual effects and animation.
