Simcenter FLOEFD
Simcenter FLOEFD is an MCAD-embedded Multiphysics CFD simulation tool for easy, fast, robust and accurate fluid flow and heat transfer analysis inside CAD environments suitable for design engineers as well as simulation engineers. Fully embedded in the PLM design environment, and with its unique automation technologies, Simcenter FLOEFD helps engineers to both frontload CFD and carry out parametric studies throughout the complete design and prototyping phases of product development.
Salient Features:
- Seamlessly integrated within major MCAD systems (NX, CREO, CATIA, SOLID EDGE, SolidWorks), Direct utilization of CAD bodies/Assemblies without translation.
- Automatic Fluid Volume detection and creation.
- Automatic meshing for fluid and solid regions with adaptive mesh refinement.
- Smart Cells feature to address the boundary layer meshing and refinement.
- Interactive GUI with wizard, smart part and material libraries, easy report generation feature,
- Industry standard turbulence modeling with Transitional Turbulence k-ε model, with automatic recognition and switching of flow regime from laminar and turbulent flows.
- Robust Solver with automated solution convergence built in.
- Built in parametric study environment to analyze “what if” scenarios and optimize design.
- Available as modules, users can opt for specific modules depending on their organization requirements and applications, thus bringing down the investment by eliminating certain features.
