CFD Software FAQs
What is CFD software used for?
CFD (computational fluid dynamics) software is used to predict how fluids and gases move and interact with products and systems. Engineers use CFD to evaluate airflow, pressure, heat transfer, turbulence, aerodynamics, cooling, and other fluid-flow behavior before physical testing or production.
What is CFD in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform?
CFD in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform provides SIMULIA fluid simulation tools within a connected environment. Engineers can analyze fluid flow, heat transfer, aerodynamics, and related physics in a Navier-Stokes-based solver while keeping simulation connected to the broader product development process.
What is PowerFLOW?
PowerFLOW is a Lattice-Boltzmann-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solution used to simulate complex fluid flow, aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, and thermal behavior. It is particularly well suited to applications involving detailed geometry and transient flow, such as automotive, aerospace, and cooling-system analysis.
What is the difference between Navier-Stokes and Lattice-Boltzmann CFD?
Traditional CFD methods solve the Navier-Stokes equations directly using mesh-based numerical techniques, while the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) models fluid behavior from the motion and interaction of particle populations on a lattice. LBM can be particularly effective for complex geometries, transient flows, and aeroacoustics.
