Cradle scFLOW 2020 Patch 6

Co-Simulation

Compatible with heat and liquid
scFLOW V2020 supports thermal analysis in Co-Simulation with MSC Nastran and Marc. Coupled liquid-elastic body analysis can also be performed which was once difficult in terms of analysis stability. This will further expand the multi-physics analysis domain.


DEM-CFD

DEM (Discrete Element Method) implementation
DEM function has been added to scFLOW. Contact and sedimentation of particles can be considered. DEM-CFD analysis is possible solely within scFLOW, without a need of coupling withexternal DEM software. Co-Simulation with MSC Nastran, Marc, and Adams is also available.


Aero-acoustics in Cradle CFD (powered by MSC Actran )

Embedded aero-acoustics thanks to scFLOW2Actran
Perform MSC Actran’s aeroacoustics analysis within the scFLOW’s User Interface, from making analysis settings to generating mesh. The once-independent GUI will automate troublesome tasks such as mapping of the data of a transient analysis.


Visualization solution with scFLOW Postprocessor and MSC products

Enhanced interface integration with scFLOW Postprocessor and MSC products
The calculation results from MSC Nastran, Marc, Adams, Actran can be visualized in scFLOWPostprocessor. The results obtained from Co-Simulation can be displayed in a common draw window, enabling a precise qualitative and quantitative assessment.


SmartBlades (Centrifugal)

SmartBlades for impellers of centrifugal- or diagonal-type
A new blade generation tool has been added to SmartBlades, primarily for centrifugal and diagonal impellers. Create a 3D blade geometry by entering the required specifications including the head, flow rate, and rotation speed.


New Cavitation Model

Multi-process cavitation model
In a collaborative effort with Pr. Tsuda of Kyushu University, this model enables to obtain detailed information that cannot be captured by conventional cavitation models. This allows to predict phenomena such as pressure pulses and cavitation noise.
