Siemens releases latest Simcenter FLOEFD software

1 min read

Siemens Digital Industries Software has released its latest Simcenter FLOEFD software, a CAD-embedded computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool.

Part of the company's Simcenter portfolio pf simulation and tool solutions, the Simcenter FLOEFD software is intended to help companies speed up the design process enabling engineers to simulate fluid flow and thermal problems quickly and accurately within their preferred CAD environment.

The latest version offers new modules and improvements that can improve accuracy and solve rates.

The upgraded software enables faster and more accurate simulation and users can frontload CFD simulation early into the design process to understand the behaviour of their concepts and eliminate weaker options.

Simcenter FLOEFD can reduce the overall simulation time by as much as 65-75 percent, according to Siemens, and offers up to 40 times user productivity enhancement. Part of the Xcelerator portfolio, this software is intended to help design engineers increase productivity and contribute to the creation of a far more accurate digital twin.

The new Electronics Cooling Center module in Simcenter FLOEFD combines existing best electronics-specific capabilities and integrates new ones from the Simcenter Flotherd software to enhance electronics cooling functionality.

A second new module helps users create a compact Reduced Order Model (ROM) that solves at a faster rate, while still maintaining a high level of accuracy. Its package creator helps users create thermal models of electronics packages easily and quickly.

The Power Electrification module can now simulate an electrical device as an electro-thermal compact model, which can save significant user and computational time.
