In addition to its CAD-integrated fluid dynamics and thermal simulation capabilities, FLOEFD can be extended with specialized modules dedicated to specific industries, applications, and physical phenomena.
The platform is organized into four module families, enabling engineers to address challenges ranging from general fluid dynamics to electronics cooling, from lighting system design to automated design optimization.
This modular approach allows each company to configure Simcenter FLOEFD according to its specific needs, adding only the tools that are truly required for its product development process.
Simcenter FLOEFD modules
Simcenter FLOEFD is a modular CFD simulation platform designed to adapt to a wide range of industrial sectors and application scenarios.
FLOEFD Basic
FLOEFD Basic represents the core of the Simcenter FLOEFD platform, providing all the essential tools required to perform fluid dynamics and thermal analyses during product development.
It includes key capabilities for internal and external flow simulation, heat transfer analysis, automatic SmartCells mesh generation, and the CAD-integrated CFD solver.
The FLOEFD Basic family also includes advanced modules dedicated to the simulation of complex physical phenomena and HVAC applications, providing a comprehensive solution for most mechanical design requirements.
FLOEFD Electronics
FLOEFD Electronics includes all modules dedicated to the design and thermal management of electronic systems. This family provides specialized tools for the thermal analysis of PCBs, electronic components, batteries, power devices, and electromagnetic systems, enabling increasingly accurate simulations directly within the CAD environment.
The Electronics modules also allow automatic import of electronic boards from leading EDA software, electromagnetic behavior simulation, Joule heating analysis, structural deformation evaluation, and the development of increasingly reliable electronic products.
FLOEFD Lighting
FLOEFD Lighting is the module dedicated to the design of professional lighting systems. It combines CFD simulation with advanced radiation models to simultaneously analyze device cooling and light behavior within the product.
Thanks to dedicated LED models, radiation simulation capabilities, and junction temperature calculations, FLOEFD Lighting enables engineers to optimize performance, energy efficiency, and the lifetime of lighting systems from the early stages of the design process.
FLOEFD Extended Design Exploration
FLOEFD Extended Design Exploration extends simulation capabilities by introducing powerful tools for parametric exploration and automated design optimization. Based on the HEEDS SHERPA algorithm, the module automatically searches for the highest-performing design configurations by exploring multiple geometric and operating variations with a minimum number of simulations.
This technology enables engineers to quickly identify optimal design solutions, reduce development times, and improve product performance without relying on lengthy manual optimization processes.
