FloEFD for CATIA V5 applications for simulation of flow and heat transfer in liquids and gases in the environment, DS CATIA V5.
FloEFD fully integrtrovano Wednesday DS CATIA V5 and uses solvers based on computational fluid dynamics techniques (CFD)
Main advantages
Jobs directly with the model in Friday DS CATIA V5
No need to convert the geometry in another format, often resulting in a loss of quality The objective calculation of fluid dynamics and heat transfer at any time, fully synchronized with the model
Minimization efforts, and as a consequence, the error in the process of synchronization tasks and set hydro-model
Automatic detection of changes in the model.
There is no need to "manually" construction geometry describing the area occupied by the liquid / gas
Automatic detection area occupied by the liquid / gas.
It uses the same graphical controls, as in the other modules DS CATIA V5
Very easy to learn
Easy to use
It uses wood elements of the model DS CATIA V5.
Intuitive and fully interactive
The use during project creation / analysis of the results of the model elements identified in the graphics window / model tree
Visualization of calculation results in the form of static and animated images directly in the graphics window
Support for exporting results to MS Excel, Word. The ability to play and record animations
Support for many-model
For effective multi-parameter study implemented - the ability to clone projects, automatic launch a series of calculations.
Automated to reduce the number of cases in which to analyze performances and results of the calculation necessary to involve experts in the field of fluid dynamics and heat transfer
Reliable and fully automatic generator computational grids
It uses unique model turbulence and boundary layer
Automatic control of the convergence of the solution.
Reliable and accurate numerical methods and physical models
A large set of physical models
Exact solution
Ability to calculate very complex structures and natural phenomena.
