Siemens Simcenter FloEFD 2022.1.0 v5572 for Solid Edge

Siemens Digital Industries Software announces the new release (2022.1.0 v5572) of its Simcenter FLOEFD software for Solid Edge, a CAD-embedded computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool.

Simcenter FLOEFD 2022.1: CAD embedded CFD enhancements

Model the complexity

Electronics Cooling & Thermal Management Enhancements

SmartPCB tutorial aids PCB thermal, electro-thermal and thermo-mechanical analysis
New engineers to electronics cooling and experienced engineers alike can leverage a guide to the SmartPCB technology in Simcenter FLOEFD. The included tutorial included with version 2022.1 explains how to import EDA files with Simcenter FLOEFD EDA Bridge for thermal analysis, then perform electrical-thermal co-simulations with HyperLynx DC drop analysis software, and finally how to conduct linear static structural simulations. (see also electro-thermal and thermo-mechanical enhancements in version 2021.3 further below)


Improved PCB via filler material properties
Via filler material can be set for a group of vias. Vias are grouped by their diameter and their type that can be either through hole, blind or buried via. In addition, you can select a subgroup within a group by a rectangular box and define separate filler material for the subgroup. Also, you can disable plating for the group of vias.


Solar radiation model with Turbidity

A new solar radiation model can be used to account for the haze effect of the atmosphere on the intensity of incoming solar radiation for outdoor studies. The haze effect is accounted via the Turbidity factor. The Turbidity factor allows you to describe the optical thickness of the atmosphere due to both the absorption by water vapor and the absorption and scattering by aerosol particles relative to a dry and clean atmosphere. For reference a blue clear sky default is 3.5, while for polluted cities a turbidity factor is close to 6-7.

Go Faster

Structural Analysis enhancements in Simcenter FLOEFD 2022.1

Remote Mass load modeling can be used to speed up structural analysis by taking into account the gravity force (weight) from a body without modeling the body itself.


The advanced material check for structural analysis is now an option that allows you to check solid bodies for which different solid materials are specified and detect invalid contacts between surfaces which are not in contact with fluid.

Reduced order thermal modeling (BCI-ROM) workflow and accuracy

You can now export boundary condition independent reduced order models (BCI-ROMs) in multiple formats simultaneously to support system or circuit simulation which is more efficient. Additionally, accuracy is now improved for when there is a large difference between the initial temperature and the ambient temperature and a large HTC.

Electromagnetics modeling: improved performance and coil values

By default, 1st order polynomial is now set for the fluid domain in electromagnetic simulations which holds potential to speed up analysis time in many instances. Additionally in coil models you can now can get Electrical Current (for AC Voltage condition) and Voltage (for AC Current condition) values on using the Electrical Source associated feature goal.



Simcenter 3D helps you conquer engineering challenges. As the most comprehensive, fully-integrated CAE solution, you can work across simulation domains from a common engineering desktop.
Simcenter FloEFD software puts the power of CFD simulation in your hands. Use it directly in NX, Creo, CATIA V5 or Solid Edge in order to explore the full potential of your ideas quickly, without disrupting your design process. Understand the impact of changes in the geometry or boundary conditions on the results effortlessly, conduct fast and frequent what-if analysis, and generate insightful reports inside your preferred CAD platform. Built on a foundation of intelligent, fast and accurate technology, Simcenter FLOEFD can help reduce the overall simulation time by as much as 75% and enhance productivity by up to 40x.
Simcenter FLOEFD software for Solid Edge delivers the industry’s leading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis tool for fluid flow and heat transfer. Fully embedded in Solid Edge, Simcenter FLOEFD has intelligent tech-nology at its core to help make CFD eas-ier, faster and more accurate. It also enables design engineers to frontload CFD, or move simulation early into the design process, allowing users to iden-tify and fix problems earlier, saving time and money and enhancing productivity by up to 40 times.
