General Purpose Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Analysis
for Inventor

FloEFD is a full-featured general purpose fluid flow and heat transfer simulation tool serving the needs of Inventor users. FloEFD combines all simulation steps – starting with use of your Inventor solid models for model preparation to mesh generation, solving and results visualization – in one easy-to-use package. The FloEFD interface will be very familiar to you. Its interface is very intuitive and offers the same time-saving and ease-of-use functionalities as those offered by leading mechanical computer-aided design systems. Therefore, FloEFD can easily fit within your design process by using your solid models without any cumbersome data transfers or complications. Since FloEFD is a flexible tool, it has been used in the design of various products from across a wide range of industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, industrial machinery and pumps/ valves. It has been used by engineers around the world to Improve product performance, functionality and reliability Reduce physical prototyping as well as production costs Minimize risk of making design mistakes Combined with Inventor, FloEFD provides you with a powerful simulation tool and reduces the need for building multiple costly physical prototypes.		“We have been using traditional CFD software to analyze our Autodesk Inventor solid models for the last couple of years. But we found the analysis process too time-consuming because our software was unable to meet the rigorous demands of our development timescale. FloEFD on the other hand matches our needs for shortened design time and ease-of-use.” Saipem UK
Setting New Standards ... For analysis to become an integral part of the design process, it must not only be easy to use but also adapt readily to your design process. Because FloEFD is developed by engineers for engineers, it is perhaps the easiest-to-use CFD package commercially available today. Its interface is very intuitive and features functionalities that are familiar to mechanical engineers using MCAD tools. In addition, with FloEFD you have the option of either using your Inventor solid models for analysis or creating one from scratch. FloEFD offers a fully integrated solid modeler offering feature-based part and assembly modeling capabilities so you can build models effortlessly. You can even make real-time design changes with drag-and-drop ease through dynamic editing of features and sketches. Finally, FloEFD offers effortless model preparation. It features a powerful Wizard to guide you through the analysis process. It then uses the parameters you’ve input into the wizard to create an optimum mesh for your problem. FloEFD even automatically considers difficult areas like small gaps, or sharp corners and adapts to them. Or conversely, use its advanced mesh controls to further optimize the mesh – with FloEFD the meshing process is completely transparent and you’re not forced to use a “black-box” approach. With FloEFD you don’t have to change the way you design… you simply drop FloEFD into your product development process and become productive fast.
