FLOEFD Extended Design Exploration is the Simcenter FLOEFD solution dedicated to parametric exploration and automated design optimization.
Integrated directly into the CFD simulation environment, it enables engineers to automatically evaluate multiple design variants and quickly identify the configurations that deliver the best performance.
Thanks to the integration of HEEDS technology, designers can explore the design space without manually running hundreds of simulations. The intelligent search process accelerates product development, reduces design time, and supports data-driven engineering decisions from the earliest stages of the project.

FLOEFD Extended Design Exploration Module
The Extended Design Exploration module expands Simcenter FLOEFD capabilities by introducing advanced parametric optimization and Design Space Exploration functionalities. Based on the HEEDS SHERPA algorithm, it combines global and local search strategies to automatically identify the highest-performing design configurations within the available solution space.
The algorithm progressively learns from the results obtained and intelligently adapts its search strategy, without requiring specialized expertise in numerical optimization. This enables engineers to quickly identify optimal solution sets, reducing the number of simulations required and shortening development times.
The module is particularly suited for multi-objective optimization studies, where multiple parameters such as temperature, pressure losses, energy consumption, weight, performance, and manufacturing costs must be optimized simultaneously.
Through the automated exploration of design variables, engineers can identify the best trade-off between often conflicting requirements and accelerate product innovation.
