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.
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
- 3DEXPERIENCE 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.)
