3DEXPERIENCE FLUIDS
Powerful, easy-to-use, cloud-connected CFD for designers & analysts
Cloud Enabled Validation
3DEXPERIENCE FLUIDS provides users with the ability to validate fluid and thermal performance for internal/external flows and conjugate heat transfer problems. A focus on turbulence models and boundary layer representation improves accuracy for those optimizing flow distribution and thermal management, predicting lift and drag, and more. With a CAD-enabled CFD approach, explore and compare design changes with only a few clicks.
As a 3DEXPERIENCE solution, all team members work with a single cloud data source and on-demand cloud computing resources, meaning CAD and CAE teams can work closer together and faster than ever.
“We chose a
3D
EXPERIENCE Works Simulation solution because it’s cloud-based, which supports our remotely located engineering organization, works seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS design data, and incorporates the Abaqus Explicit solver, which is best suited for the types of simulation studies that we need to conduct on our parts, which can involve hyperelasticity, creep, fatigue, and contact.”
– Thomas Morgan
Design Engineer
HIGHLIGHTS
High-End CFD Solver
- Quick and accurate steady-state and long transient simulations with thoroughly-validated RANS solver.
- Analyze internal and external fluid flows with turbulence model leveraging mesh tolerant near-wall treatment.
- Automated hex-dominant meshing (HDM) enables users to accurately capture flow over complex geometric surfaces.
- Native conjugate heat transfer solver including radiation, with automatic interface detection.
- Capture multidisciplinary requirements including fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and 3D CFD-1D model coupling
Convenient Workflows
- Faster turn-around time for each design iteration with intuitive GUI and minimal user interactions.
- Fully-automatic and robust body-fitted meshing allows users to accurately capture complex product performance with limited manual effort and domain expertise.
- Guided workflow allowing non-expert users to setup simulation scenarios in minutes.
- Native access to CAD data on the 3D EXPERIENCE Platform eliminates data transfer and translation steps and expedites design iteration.
Efficient Simulation
- 3D EXPERIENCE FLUIDS includes 16 cores of local/cloud compute access.
- Credit-hour- and token-based access to up to 144 cores of cloud HPC.
- Patented error estimator technology predicts convergence errors, reducing wasted iteration time.
- Explore hundreds of alternatives within a single environment leveraging design automation with comprehensive result analytics.
- Create, deploy and re-use custom simulation processes (DOE loops, trade-off studies, etc.)
