Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the
next generation of the FloEFDTM concurrent computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) simulation product addressing a broader range of
real-world challenges such as radiation, combustion and hypersonic
flows. Its intuitive user interface is now available in the most
popular languages in the engineering world such as German, French,
Japanese and Chinese, thereby increasing engineering efficiency
because users will be able to work in their native language. With
unparalleled ease-of-use, the FloEFD product empowers mechanical
engineers who may not be experts in general fluid dynamics or
thermal simulation to effectively conduct such analyses and to
create better products faster.
Bronswerk Heat Transfer BV, based in Nijkerk, Netherlands, is a
manufacturer of market-leading and innovative heat transfer and
fluid flow systems for the energy and process industries. Their
engineering team developed a new generation of efficient air-cooled
cooling systems that are superior to other products on the market.
“We chose FloEFD, a proven Concurrent CFD toolset for analysis and
validation of our Whiz-wheel fan,” said Guus Bertels, associate
director of advanced design and analysis at Bronswerk. “Over the
past few years we have used both CFD tools and physical
measurements to characterize the behavior, particularly the
aerodynamics, of large air-cooled cooling systems. We have learned
that Concurrent CFD often can produce data that would be impossible
to acquire with measurements, due to physical constraints, the
Heisenberg principle, and other factors, therefore, we have been
able to produce a truly revolutionary design. Our Whizz-wheel based
cooling systems are breaking all industry records for energy
efficiency, nose reduction and weight savings.”
“Our latest version of FloEFD concurrent CFD addresses the key
challenges our customers require by providing advanced simulation
and analyses,” said Erich Buergel, general manager of the Mentor
Graphics® Mechanical Analysis Division. “Our easy-to-use yet
powerful multiCAD-embedded CFD solution provides straightforward
simulations that help users at all technical levels to quickly
identify design problems and improve product quality.”
The FloEFD product is available with two new optional modules,
providing the following features for improved productivity and
efficiency:
- FloEFD with “Advanced Module” for
Combustion and Hypersonic Flows:
- The FloEFD tool can simulate combustion
of gas-phase mixtures (fuel and oxidizer) using the equilibrium
approach. To effectively analyze such cases, the equilibrium model
is extended for pre-mixed combustion at the onset and upon mixing
gases. Also the FloEFD product can now analyze physical changes in
airflow such as molecular dissociation and ionization.
- FloEFD with “HVAC Module” for Radiation
Flow and Comfort Parameters:
- Advanced radiation model for
semi-transparent layers: This feature supports previous customer
requests for automotive and HVAC applications by extending the
radiation models to semi-transparent solid materials such as glass
and plexiglass. Applications where this feature is valuable include
space heaters, automotive lighting, commercial lighting devices,
glass walls and windows in structures.
- Comfort parameters for thermal
efficiency and ventilation: The following comfort parameters can be
measured with the FloEFD product: predicted mean vote, draft
temperature, predicted per cent dissatisfied, flow angle, and local
air quality index for fluids.
The new modules are available for all FloEFD products, including
the FloEFD product for ProENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro, the
FloEFD product for CATIA V5, and the FloEFD for NX™ product.
Concurrent CFD for Advanced Productivity and
Reliability
The Mentor Graphics Concurrent CFD methodology can reduce
simulation time by as much as 65 to 75 percent compared to
traditional CFD tools. It enables users to optimize product
performance and reliability while reducing physical prototyping and
development costs without time or cost penalties. The FloEFD
product is an established technology and supported by a dedicated
CFD development team. Mentor Graphics is the world’s third largest
general purpose CFD provider with the largest knowledge base in
electronics cooling.
