Simcenter FLOEFD for Creo
CFD fully embedded with Creo (and Pro/ENGINEER) for fluid flow and thermal simulation.
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.
Why Simcenter FLOEFD for Creo?
It 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.
Creo-embedded CFD Simulation
CAD-embedded simulation enables engineers to conduct analysis in the same user environment as design. Therefore, engineers can use the latest Creo CAD geometry for analysis to conduct multiple design studies and evaluate how the modifications influence the performance of the design without the hassle of data translation.
Parametric Study and Design Comparison Functionality
The compare configuration and parametric study capability inside Simcenter FLOEFD enables engineers to understand the influence of changes in the geometry or boundary conditions on the results.
Users can evaluate the design envelope by assessing results by numerical values, by graphs and by visual images and animations and thereby compare a wide range of project permutations.
Fast and Automated Meshing Technology with SmartCells™
Simcenter FLOEFD uses meshing technology which is recognized as the most efficient framework for simulating fluid flows, heat and mass transfer. In addition, the meshing process can be automated easily for even the most complex CAD geometries with the aid of SmartCells technology.
SmartCells are unique technology that combine robust Cartesian meshing with highly efficient analytical or semi-empirical solver models; thus providing high levels of simulation accuracy with fewer number of mesh cells than in traditional CFD. SmartCells typically reduce the manual time spent by traditional CFD tool users in meshing even complex geometries by an order of magnitude on average thus dramatically reducing a historical bottleneck to CFD user productivity.
Instinctive User Experience
Simcenter FLOEFD for Creo features an easy-to-use GUI with considerable intelligent automation built-in as standard:
"The usage of Simcenter FLOEFD in combination with Creo has halved the lead time of the design process and ensured that one third less was spent on building physical prototypes."
"With Simcenter FLOEFD the development time can be reduced up to 29%. I can see the result from a wood stove simulation in a section that makes it easy to understand how the air moves through the combustion process."
"I appreciate the straightforward and fast simulations with Simcenter FLOEFD. We at APEX-Research successfully used Simcenter FLOEFD for many years and now we have increased confidence in its results through our own modeling experiment."
