Section 4: Technical nitty gritty

4.1 - Service
The service provided by Trampo is the calculation of CFD simulations using Trampo's cloud computing Software on Trampo's cluster. Third party software is used for the file transfer and the actual running of the simulations.

4.2 - Export agreement
To use our compute service, you must have a current export agreement signed for STAR-CCM+®.

4.3 - Priority
Trampo provides its services on a first in, first served basis.

4.4 – Maximum run time vs actual run time
It is your responsibility to ensure that your account has sufficient balance OR that your maximum run time is long enough to ensure that simulation will run until it hits its stopping criteria. If a simulation hits its stopping criteria before it's maximum runtime, the remaining hours will automatically be credited to your Trampo user account balance. This credit will be valid for 1 year from the payment date.

4.5 - Files automated deletion
You must keep a local copy of your input files. Once a simulation has computed, results files are uploaded on your computer synchronised folder.
For security reasons, results files will be permanently deleted after 1 week from the end of the simulation compute. Trampo does not keep any back up of your files.
We highly recommend you manually cut results files from the synchronised folders on your computer and paste them in your own file storage location. This enables you to permanently delete your files on Trampo yourself.

4.6 - Input files security scan
Trampo has an automated scanning process which identifies potential threats in macros and other input files. Trampo reserves the right to:
• manually look into input files which come up on our system as a potential security threat,
• and/or manually identify amendments which do not alter the input file’s functionality and amend the file accordingly,
• and/or manually block your simulation and request you to change your input files.
Macros must comply with our macro guidelines below or the simulation might be blocked.

4.7 - SIMULATION compute scan
Trampo understands your needs by scanning your simulation standard output and standard error. We do not scan your simulation for any other information. Your simulation logs will be deleted at the same time as
your simulation. We only retain the following information long term:
-number of regions
-physics models
-Volume mesh number of Cells

4.8 - Macro guidelines
TBC.

4.9 - Confidentiality of scanned data
Any information gathered by Trampo in the process of scanning files is strictly confidential and is not released to third parties unless requested by you or by law.

4.11 - COMPUTE speed benchmarks
TBC.

4.14 - Job cancellation
A simulation that has been submitted can be cancelled on this website. The minimum charge applies.

4.15 - Inspection
You must inspect the completed service and give Trampo written notice that the service does not comply with the relevant specifications or descriptions within :
-1 week from the end of the simulation run OR
-1 week from your simulation submission if the simulation did not run.
Otherwise, the completed service is deemed to have been accepted.

4.16 - File sizes and file transfer policy
Your maximum total files allowance at one time on Trampo's system is 50Tb. If you think you might need a larger file allowance, please contact us in writing before submitting your simulation.
Your maximum time to upload your files is 3 days from the time of submission. If you have a combination of very large files and very slow internet, please contact us in writing when you submit your simulation.

4.17 - Default Star-CCM+ version
If the version that the file was created in is not installed on Trampo's cluster, Trampo will try to run your simulation using the default Star-CCM+ version, the oldest version installed on our cluster. We typicaly keep all Star-CCM+ versions less than 1 year old installed on the supercomputer.

4.18 - Maximum run time

Runtime limitation are described below:

Instant: 5 hours

Fast:

1-1792 cores: 336 hours [2 weeks]

1793+ cores: 5 hours

Standard and Low priority:

1-1024 cores: 336 hours [2 weeks]

1025-4096 cores: 168 hours [1 week]

4096-8192 cores: 96 hours [4 days]

8193+ cores: 5 hours
