Simcenter FLOEFD is a CAD-embedded computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solution that supports NX, Solid Edge, CATIA V5 and Creo. Due to its unique technology, it can reduce the overall simulation time by up to 75%. This new release provides a range of new features and enhancements. The new capabilities featured in this version range from linear buckling and modal frequency analysis of loaded models, to three-component mixture combustion and the preview of Simcenter FLOEFD for NX results in Teamcenter and many other new capabilities. Let\u2019s take a look at the list of new functionalities available in the latest release:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-cyan-blue-color\">New Structural Simulation Specific Functionality<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simcenter FLOEFD 2021.2 has a few new features specifically for structural simulation applications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Linear Buckling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is now possible to simulate linear buckling structural analysis, enabling users to consider buckling of their products under loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To access this functionality, you will need the <strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">\u201cSimcenter FLOEFD Structural\u201d<\/span><\/strong> module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/videos.mentor-cdn.com\/mgc\/videos\/5400\/9f3eac9d-34ce-4bc5-af2c-7eed12e3c922-en-US-video.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>Simulating buckling with Simcenter FLOEFD 2021.2.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Modal Frequency Analysis of Loaded Model<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Modal frequency analysis of a loaded model is now possible.

Also, an option to use the selected licenses only for the current session has been added. This allows for better control of the used licenses and avoids blocking licenses that are not needed by the user and making them available for other users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Adding Simcenter FLOEFD SC to Flexx Licenses with Simcenter FLOEFD for NX<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All Flexx licenses which contain the Simcenter FLOEFD for NX product can now be used for concurrent use of Simcenter FLOEFD SC, so the Simcenter FLOEFD SC product is added into Flexx licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Package Creator added to EDA Bridge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The EDA Bridge module now has Simcenter FLOEFD Package Creator capability, allowing users of the EDA Bridge module to also create and import chip packages with the help of the Package Creator tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Material Import from PTC Creo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Materials defined in Creo models can now be imported into the Simcenter FLOEFD Engineering Database. This allows users to easier use already defined materials from the CAD model also in Simcenter FLOEFD simulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Automatic Disabling of the Cache in CATIA V5<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enabling the cache option in CATIA V5 may cause some issues, therefore Simcenter FLOEFD for CATIA V5 detects if the cache is activated and automatically disables it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New CAD System Support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Support of Siemens NX series 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For additional information and a complete list of new capabilities for Simcenter FLOEFD CFD simulation software, please go to the Support Center site (<a href=\"https:\/\/support.sw.siemens.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/support.sw.siemens.com<\/a>) or read the release highlights file provided with the installation package.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s New in the latest Simcenter FLOEFD 2021.2 version?
