Soon We'll Have the First Fluid Dynamics Study of a Hookah
Flomerics says today it will provide its engineering fluid dynamics (EFD) simulation software to universities and colleges around the world for teaching and research purposes.
Flomerics EFD products are gaining popularity because, unlike traditional computation fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software, EFD operates inside mechanical CAD software, working directly with the CAD data. "This unique feature allows users to skip the most time-consuming aspects of using CFD software," said John Parry, research manager at Flomerics. "The user doesn't need to learn a new interface, there is no CAD export and meshing is fully automated, so students can focus solely on learning about fluid dynamics instead of how to use software."
Products available for engineering purposes:
- EFD.Pro - EFD fully embedded within the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire environment
- EFD.V5 - EFD fully embedded CFD solution within the CATIA V5 environment
- EFD.Lab - a general purpose CAD-embedded fluid flow and heat transfer software
EFD has sophisticated physical models to simulate a wide range of engineering tasks -- from creeping non-Newtonian flows to supersonic gas flows with high mach numbers. EFD is also provided with a number of detailed ready-built and documented validation cases that can be used as course material. The version of the software available to education has the same capabilities as the commercial version, with no restrictions on physical modeling or meshing.
COSMOSFloWorks is a SolidWorks product developed by Flomerics that uses the same underlying technology, so educational users of SolidWorks may already have COSMOSFloWorks.
EFD is available for immediate shipment to educational and research institutions. Interested readers may download their choice of free EFD online demos at http://www.nika.biz
