Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced
several new capabilities for its Flowmaster® simulation software
solution for thermo-fluid systems. From concept through design,
optimization, and validation, the Flowmaster products are used at
every stage of development so that engineers can minimize design
effort to accurately simulate fluid flow and thermal analysis of
their end-products. The latest release contains several significant
features for pre-processing, simulation, data management, and
design collaboration.
The new Flowmaster “experiments” capability harnesses the power
of robust simulation within an exploratory methodology. It allows
users to create response surfaces and export meta-model data as
either standard ANSI C code or as S-Functions for use in a
real-time environment providing support for hardware-in-the-loop
simulations. Using a Latin Square algorithm helps users generate
unique combinations of distributed input values between specific
bounds. This ability creates an ideal foundation for designing
experiments, and the creation of meta-models and response surfaces
that characterize a Flowmaster system response.
“Our ‘experiments’ features in the new Flowmaster release
continue to provide our customers with the ability to conduct
superior ‘what-if’ analysis for fluid flow simulations,” stated
Erich Buergel, general manager of the Mentor Graphics® Mechanical
Analysis Division. “The ability to export Flowmaster models as C
code or S-Functions allows us to support systems engineers
performing system level testing of embedded systems in real-time
environments.”
Additionally, Monte Carlo simulations can be performed to
produce simulation results based on a probability distribution
generated from a mean and standard deviation for selected input
parameters. This allows the effect of small variations in input
values to be examined and allows the Flowmaster product to be used
in risk analysis and quality control environments such as Design
for Six Sigma (DFSS).
With this latest release, systems engineers can now implement an
integrated native 1D-3D solution by leveraging the power of the
Flowmaster and FloEFD™ products. Computational Sciences Expert
Group (CSEG) provides simulation services to automotive and
aerospace OEMs by providing predictive analytical capability in the
product design cycle. “With an increasing push towards analysis led
design where simulation is required to provide design guidance
before the prototypes are available, there is a strong need to
characterize component performance data from CAD and design
requirements,” said Sudhi Uppuluri, principal investigator at
Computational Sciences Expert Group. “Having access to the tightly
coupled, general purpose 1D-3D CFD simulation of Flowmaster and
FloEFD will enable us to characterize the more complex components
of a system in 3D and insert those characteristics into the 1D
system level models for simulation, thereby taking advantage of
higher accuracy for components and minimizing the computational
resources and execution times at a system level.”
Additional capabilities found in this latest Flowmaster product
release, targeting aerospace and automotive systems design
applications, include:
- Improved thermal bridge for heat
transfer analysis which automatically recognizes the transition
between different flow regimes
- Dynamic journal bearing based on the
popular Booker and Martin modeling for fluid flow analyses
- Advanced heat exchangers used to
predict pressure drop and heat duty for single phase, cross-flow,
compact heat exchangers
- Traceable data management for project
sharing and effective project management
