Flow/thermal Simulation

A new version of CFdesign upfront CFD software is available. CFdesign Version 9 enables engineers to set up and view first-pass fluid flow and heat transfer simulations in minutes, while generating high-fidelity design reviews up to 20 times faster than with previous versions. Developed for multi-tasking mechanical, electromechanical, and thermal engineers, the new version offers new analysis features to increase innovation during new product development. Automation in CFdesign Version 9 allows both novices and experts to breeze through simulation set up in less time. The new process is based on two new features: auto mesh sizing and rules on parts. Auto mesh sizing performs a comprehensive topological interrogation of the geometric model, assigning mesh sizes based on curvature, geometric gradients, and proximity to neighboring features. An optimally sized surface and volume mesh ensures faster mesh generation and higher-quality simulation results without any user input.
