Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation involves using the fundamental laws of mechanics, governing equations of fluid dynamics and modeling to formulate a physical problem mathematically. Once formulated, computing resources use numerical methods to solve the equations using CFD software to obtain approximate solutions for the physical properties involved. This system must be able to provide solutions for:
- Rapid and accurate simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer
- Frontloads simulation without disrupting the design workflow
- Delivers powerful parametric studies and design comparison functionality for easier what-if analysis
Solutions:
- FLoEFD for Solid Edge
- FLoEFD for NX
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computational technique used to perform simulations on complex structures and systems. It involves breaking down a large, complex problem into smaller, simpler parts called "finite elements" which are then analyzed collectively. This system must be able to provide solutions for:
- Enables innovation through virtual design exploration
- Provides immediate feedback on design performance
- Accelerates the speed of simulation studies
- Optimizes material usage and minimizes product weight
- Reduces the need for costly physical prototypes
- Evaluates designs for deformation, stress, resonant frequencies, buckling, heat transfer thermal stress and vibration response
Solutions:
- Solid Edge Simulation
- NX Simulation
