Mentor Graphics FloEFD 2019.1.0 v4540

Mentor, a Siemens business, announced the latest release of its award-winning frontloading FloEFD computational fluid dynamics (CFD) product with new functionality for geometry handling, physics and results visualization.

FloEFD Release Highlights - March 2019:

New Features

The following new features are available in this release.

- Fan derating. Fans are often set to run below their maximum capacity, to reduce noise and increase their lifetime, but still achieve thermal cooling requirements. Fans are run at less than maximum capacity by reducing the RPM that they operate at. This has the effect of derating (reducing) the fan curve and is simulated using the Derating factor.
- Logical Expressions in Formula Dependency. Boundary conditions can be dependent on coordinates, time and monitor parameters such as goals. It is now possible to define sophisticated dependencies using conditional and Boolean expressions such as IF, AND, OR, XOR, NOT, > (more than), < (less than), = (equal two). For example, you can easily set a value of a heat source dependent on two different temperature sensors (defined as temperature goals) so that the dissipated power is downgraded depending on the temperature at either one or another sensor.
- Altitude. The atmospheric pressure and temperature can be defined by setting the Altitude. Using the Altitude it is now much easier to conduct what-if or optimization analysis.
- Additional Rays for Radiation Sources. You can now add additional rays launched from a radiation source (for Monte Carlo radiation only). This allows for better resolution of radiation or light locally without significant increasing the total number of rays and therefore saving the calculation time. In addition, radiation freezing can be enabled automatically.
- Network Assembly.Node power can now be dependent on Temperature.






About Mentor Graphics FloEFD. FloEFD is a full-featured 3D computational fluid dynamics analysis solution built into major MCAD systems such as Creo, CATIA V5, Siemens NX, Solid Edge and SolidWorks. It tightly integrates with Inventor.

As an award-winning frontloading CFD solution, FloEFD enables users to move CFD simulation early into the design process where it can help engineers examine trends and dismiss less desirable design options. Fast to learn and easy to use, FloEFD eliminates the workflow complexity and meshing overheads of old-school CFD software.

- FloEFD Standalone
FloEFD is the fastest and most efficient computational fluid dynamics analysis tool that is tightly integrated with all major CAD workflows including Inventor and SolidEdge. It enables engineers to directly work on their CAD model for preparing and evaluating their concurrent CFD simulation. In addition, the unique 1D-3D CFD coupling with FloMASTER is an industry first, providing a tight coupling of 1D and 3D software technologies engineered to work natively together with integrated source code.
- FloEFD for PTC Creo
FloEFD for PTC Creo is the most popular computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis tool that is truly embedded into Pro/ENGINEER and Creo. It enables design engineers to frontload CFD by moving simulation early into the design process where it is more cost effective to identify and fix problems and enhance productivity by x2 to x40.
- FloEFD for CATIA V5
FloEFD for CATIA V5 is the only computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis tool that is truly embedded into CATIA V5. It enables design engineers to frontload CFD by moving simulation early into the design process where it is more cost effective to identify and fix problems and enhance productivity by x2 to x40.
- FloEFD for Solid Edge
FloEFD for Solid Edge is the only powerful computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis tool that is fully embedded into Solid Edge. It enables design engineers to frontload CFD by moving simulation early into the design process where it is more cost effective to identify and fix problems and enhance productivity by x2 to x40.
- FloEFD for Siemens NX
FloEFD for Siemens NX is a powerful computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis tool that is embedded into Siemens NX. It enables design engineers to frontload CFD by moving simulation early into the design process where it is more cost effective to identify and fix problems and enhance productivity by x2 to x40.
