Overview The award-winning FloEFD is part of a new breed of CFD tools called Concurrent CFD. FloEFD is a full-featured general purpose CFD tool serving the needs of Inventor, Solid Edge, SolidWorks as well as other popular MCAD systems. FloEFD combines all simulation steps - starting with use of your 3D CAD data for model preparation, to mesh generation, solving and results visualization - in one easy-to-use package. Concurrent CFD can reduce simulation time significantly in comparison to traditional CFD tools and enables users to optimize product performance and reliability while reducing physical...

“FloEFD computational fluid dynamics software enables design engineers without a fluid analysis background to perform thermal simulation. The result is that we got the design right the first time, only had to make one prototype and avoided expensive design changes that typically occur in the late stages of the development process.” “FloEFD results are easy to understand and interpret by any engineer who is already familiar with the subject-matter being studied.” A. Heijmans, Development Manager, Eclipse Combustion James Young, Design Engineer, Azonix Image courtesy of Voxdale w w w. m e nto r....

Concurrent CFD Reduces Simulation Time Concurrent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a breakthrough technology that enables design engineers to conduct upfront, concurrent CFD analysis throughout the product's lifecycle, using the familiar MCAD interface, thus reducing design times by orders of magnitude compared to traditional methods and products. Concurrent CFD can reduce simulation time by as much as 65 to 75 percent in comparison to traditional CFD tools and enables users to optimize product performance and reliability while reducing physica prototyping and development costs without time...

Within both conventional and upfront CFD it is necessary to transfer geometry from the CAD system and clean it before it is suitable for analysis. This process has to be repeated as design changes are made in the analysis suite and taken back into the CAD system to keep...

FloEFD for Creo Parametric FloEFD for Creo Parametric is the only fully embedded Concurrent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool for Creo Parametric. As a Pro/TOOLKIT application, FloEFD enables you to analyze and optimize complex fluid flow and heat transfer effects on your designs directly inside Creo Parametric. FloEFD has the same “look and feel” as Creo Parametric. When you’re ready to conduct analysis, you simply go to the “Flow Analysis” menu and start preparing your model for analysis... it’s that simple. And because FloEFD interacts directly with the native 3D CAD data defined by...

FloEFD for CATIA V5 FloEFD for CATIA V5 is a fully embedded Concurrent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool for CATIA V5. It enables you to study and optimize complex fluid flow and heat transfer effects on your designs directly inside CATIA V5 and faster than with any other CFD software. Developed by engineers for engineers, FloEFD for CATIA V5 runs inside the CATIA V5 interface so you don’t need to learn a new interface to use the software – you simply prepare your model for analysis as soon as you’re done with the design. Also, unlike other CFD programs, FloEFD for CATIA V5 interacts directly...

FloEFD for NX TM FloEFD is a multi-CAD embedded Concurrent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution for NX. FloEFD enables you to analyze and optimize complex fluid flow and heat transfer effects on your designs directly inside NX. Because FloEFD is an embedded solution, it “looks and feels” exactly as NX. Therefore, you use the same user interface for design and analysis – CFD analysis simply becomes an extension of your design tool. And unlike other 3rd party CFD programs, FloEFD interacts directly with the native 3D CAD data with no translation or copies - in order to keep pace with on-going...

FloEFD - Solves Real-World Problems in All Major Industries ... Aerospace/Defense Automotive/Transport “We have found exactly the same results from FloEFD and our test rig. That’s important because maybe in a few years, after we’ve built an extensive library of results, then we won’t need to build and test physical prototypes anymore.” R. Aarntzen, R&D/Engineering Manager, Watts Industries Biomedical/Medical Systems Chemical/Processing Computers Construction/HVAC Consumer Goods “We had complete confidence in the simulation results because FloEFD had provided such an accurate simulation of the...
