FLOEFD<\/a> for NX is an easy-to-use, fast and accurate Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis tool that is fully integrated in NX. FLOEFD enables engineers to frontload simulation by moving CFD simulation early into the design process. This allows the design engineers to examine and evaluate design options earlier to obtain optimized product performance and reliability.<\/p>\n

FLOEFD features intelligent<\/em> automation at its core to make frontloading of CFD a reality:<\/p>\n

\u2022 An intuitive user experience \u2013 short learning curve<\/p>\n

\"FLOEFD.JPG\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Use of native Siemens NX CAD data \u2013 no translation or fluid body creation<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fast automated mesher \u2013 fast and easy SmartCell\u2122 meshing<\/p>\n

\u2022 Unique solver \u2013 getting accurate results fast for highly complex geometry<\/p>\n

\u2022 Powerful parametric study and design comparison functionality for easier what-if analysis<\/p>\n

Automatic recognition of model change \u2013 geometry and simulation data are synchronized FloEFD can be easily inserted into your current NX design flow without any disruption to your existing process and reduce your overall simulation time by as much as 75%.<\/strong><\/p>\n
