Description

FloCAD® serves as an add-on module for Thermal Desktop®, creating a comprehensive software solution for thermohydraulic analysis that encompasses fluid flow and heat transfer. The process of constructing fluid flow models in FloCAD closely resembles that of thermal models, allowing for the use of numerous shared commands across both model types. Users can create FloCAD models using a free-form approach, which allows for the simplification and abstraction of flow networks, or they can opt for geometry-based modeling that incorporates elements like pipe centerlines, cross-sections, and intricate vessels, as well as convection calculations linked to finite difference or finite element thermal structures. As an advanced tool for pipe flow analysis, FloCAD effectively accounts for pressure losses within piping networks arising from bends, valves, tees, and variations in flow area, among other factors. This versatility makes FloCAD a valuable asset for engineers looking to optimize system designs.

Description

Simcenter Nastran stands out as a leading finite element method (FEM) solver known for its exceptional computational performance, precision, dependability, and scalability. This comprehensive tool provides robust solutions for various applications, including linear and nonlinear structural analysis, structural dynamics, acoustics, rotor dynamics, aeroelasticity, thermal analysis, and optimization. One of the key benefits of having such a diverse array of solutions within a single solver is that it standardizes input/output file formats across all types of analyses, significantly streamlining the modeling process. Whether utilized as an independent enterprise solver or integrated within Simcenter 3D, Simcenter Nastran is instrumental for manufacturers and engineering firms across several sectors, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, heavy machinery, and medical devices. By catering to their vital engineering computing requirements, it enables these industries to deliver safe, reliable, and optimized designs while adhering to increasingly tighter design timelines. This versatility and efficiency make Simcenter Nastran an invaluable asset in the modern engineering landscape.
