tensorHVAC-Pro Theory Guide

Advanced CFD Solver for HVAC

Behind it's simplicity, tensorHVAC-Pro software use some advanced computation technologies, such as OpenFOAM for CFD solver, WSL to run Linux environment on windows, blender to manipulate the geometries, and paraView to generate and explore the results.

Technologies Stack

OpenFOAM

OpenFOAM is an open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software widely used for simulating fluid flow, heat transfer, and related physical processes. It provides a flexible C++ framework for developing custom solvers and analyzing complex engineering problems such as aerodynamics, combustion, and multiphase flow.

WSL

WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) allows users to run a Linux environment directly on Windows without needing a virtual machine or dual-boot setup. It enables seamless execution of Linux-based tools—like OpenFOAM—within Windows, making it ideal for engineers and developers who rely on Linux software for simulation or scientific computing.

WSL

Blender

Blender is a free and open-source 3D creation suite that supports modeling, sculpting, animation, rendering, and simulation. It’s often used in engineering and CFD visualization workflows for preparing geometries and creating high-quality visual renderings or animations of simulation results.

paraView

ParaView is an open-source data analysis and visualization tool designed to handle large datasets produced by CFD and FEA simulations. It enables users to visualize flow fields, temperature distributions, and other complex results through contour plots, streamlines, and 3D renderings, helping engineers interpret and present simulation outcomes effectively.
