A premier frontloading CFD simulation tool
Moving CFD simulation early in the design process, frontloading CFD, enables engineers to tackle problems faster when dealing with moving parts. In many engineering applications, there are components that move, like rotating machinery or valves, which affect how fluids flow. Understanding how these fluids behave around these moving parts is critical for improving designs.
By running CFD simulations early on, engineers can learn about flow patterns, pressure distribution, and heat transfer near moving parts to find potential issues, like areas where the flow gets stuck or pressure drops too much.
Frontloading CFD also enables engineers to compare different design options early on to measure performance and make more informed choices. Addressing these issues early saves resources down the line.
Efficiently run CFD simulations directly on native CAD geometry
No matter your preferred CAD model, FLOEFD offers a seamless way to run CFD simulations directly on native CAD geometry, ensuring efficient and accurate analysis without the need for complicated data transfer or geometry simplification.
Engineers can define the fluid domain, apply boundary conditions, and specify material properties directly on the CAD geometry. Plus, you can get started right away. FLOEFD’s intuitive interface and user-friendly tools make it easy to set up and configure simulations, reducing the time required for preparation, no matter how complex the integration is.
Another aspect that contributes to the efficiency of FLOEFD is its automatic meshing capabilities. The software intelligently generates a high-quality mesh on the CAD geometry, adapting to the flow features and resolving the important fluid regions accurately. This automation reduces the time and effort needed for manual meshing, while still making sure you get accurate results.
