Engineering school obtains software
licence
Harpoon is easy to use, allowing students to jump straight into the physics of the problem without having to spend weeks learning a package.
The Southampton School of Engineering Sciences is the first to take advantage of the new teaching licence option for Sarc's Harpoon The new competitive academic licensing options, which includes 20 floating licences of Harpoon, will support University Lecturers in explaining CFD

Software simplifies car design
Rieter has been able to make complex full car model creation a much more simple task than with previous methods.
Harpoon is easy to use, allowing students to jump straight into the physics of the problem without having to spend weeks learning a package.
This combined with extreme speed means that researchers and lecturers can mesh complex geometries in real-time.
Harpoon is already well established within the commercial sector and is currently in use at a large number of market companies in the automotive, industrial and aerospace sectors as well as university research groups.
"It is so refreshing to have a meshing tool that is so fast to use", says Dr Neil Bressloff, Lecturer, MSc Course Co-ordinator, Computational Engineering Design, Southampton University.
The decision to move to the academic licensing option was down to demand among the students, researchers and lecturers.
"Early experience of using Harpoon has been extremely encouraging, both in terms of mesh quality and speed of mesh generation", explains Bressloff .
"We have been using Harpoon for both internal and external flow domains in biofluid and aerodynamic applications and we are finding it invaluable in systematic design studies, in which it is necessary to generate high-quality meshes, quickly and automatically".
