Overview of CFD in the 3DEXPERIENCE

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the 3DEXPERIENCE provides customers with the ability to engineer products with precise, real-world performance predictions – quickly. Navier-Stokes technology enables multi-scale, multi-physical insight, allowing users to address diverse challenges across various industries and applications.

A focus on turbulence models, boundary layer representation and conjugate heat transfer means improved accuracy for engineers predicting flow distribution, thermal management and aerodynamics amongst other prominent challenges. This access to simulation-driven product development leads to better quality designs while avoiding costly manufacturing issues.

The Key Benefits of CFD in the 3DEXPERIENCE

Single Source of Truth CAD Data

With a single source of truth data system, there is never a concern about analyzing incorrect or outdated designs.

Advanced Realtime Meshing

State-of-the-art meshing capabilities that update in realtime. No more mesh-unmesh-edit-remesh.

High-End RANS Solver

The industry-leading RANS Solvers that you already know and love.

Multiphysics With The Touch Of A Button

Since all physics simulation can be contained within the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, structural, thermal, electrical and fluids simulations can be paired with ease

Industry-Leading Support

We’re simulation experts and, as such, provide the best support in the industry. No problem is too large or too small for us to tackle collaboratively

CFD in the 3DEXPERIENCE Products

Fluid Dynamics Engineer - (FMK)

Perform fluid flow and heat transfer simulations, leading to better quality designs while avoiding costly physical testing.
• Efficiently explore fluid flow and thermal performance design alternatives to accelerate product innovation with a thoroughly validated RANS solver.
• Leverage full integration with CAD and PLM for concurrent, simulation-driven product development.
• Easily predict steady-state and long-transient flow and thermal behavior of products with the designer-centric guided interface.
• Collaborate with project stakeholders around fluid flow simulation results for informed decisions.
• Include local compute using up to 16 cores - with additional compute capacity also available.

CFD in the 3DEXPERIENCE Add Ons

Plastic Injection Engineer (IME)

Validate and optimize plastic part and mold tooling designs by simulating the filling, packing, warpage & mold cooling early in the product development process - then use the data to accurately simulate part performance with FEA.

Flow Driven Generative Design (GDF)

With the help of Fluid Flow Optimization, leverage 'get-it-right-first-time' design methodologies. Generative Design promotes improvement of fluid flow efficiency, minimizing pressure drops and preserving mass flow rate.

CAD Connectors

Work with your native CAD in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, minimizing rework for simulation studies. Available for SOLIDWORKS, CATIA V5, Inventor, Creo and more.

Cloud compute tokens (SRU)

Cloud compute tokens mean no more costly hardware! Traditional token model using Dassault’s cloud for solving.

Cloud compute credits (SUN)

Cloud compute credits are expendable and allow analysis to be performed on any number of cores up to 144. This means no more right sizing local installs or waiting days and days for large jobs to solve.

HVAC Optimization via Simulation

Improve energy efficiency, air quality and comfort in modern buildings

CFD in 3DEXPERIENCE FAQs

CFD in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform provides SIMULIA fluid flow and thermal simulation capabilities within a connected engineering environment. Engineers can analyze internal and external flows, heat transfer, pressure losses, turbulence, and other fluid-performance characteristics while keeping simulation connected to product design and engineering data.

Fluid Dynamics Engineer uses a traditional Navier–Stokes, RANS-based finite-volume CFD approach and is tightly integrated with design and data management on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. PowerFLOW uses the Lattice-Boltzmann Method and is particularly well suited to high-fidelity transient applications such as aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, and thermal management.

Yes. Fluid Dynamics Engineer supports both steady-state and transient fluid simulations. Transient analysis can be used when flow or thermal conditions change with time and a steady-state solution does not fully describe the system behavior.
