This means that the engineer can perform various Engineering Simulation studies, such as Natural Ventilation CFD Simulation to validate Building layout design, Airflow Simulation to Improve building aerodynamics, HVAC CFD Simulation and Data Center CFD Studies to optimize the energy efficiency performance of Data Center HVAC Implementations.
The award-winning Solid Edge FloEFD will not disturb or Need Troublesome modification of the Engineering workflow.
Solid Edge FloEFD simply Complements into the Development process in Solid Edge Premium Suite without any disruption.
Offers increased Versatility to test Several design Concepts in Much fewer Hours – when the R&D Money committed to the Engineering project is Smaller and fairly flexible.
It Assists the Engineering design Department to become Significantly more efficient at discarding suboptimal Engineering ideas Earlier and let the CAE Simulation Engineers in the CFD Research and Consultancy team focus on solving more complex Engineering analysis Challenges and complete Design Validation faster.
Frontloaded CFD solutions Provide significant Engineering time savings.
The Traditional Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation, such as FSI Simulation includes Several subprocesses, such as CAD Geometry Clean Up, Setting Configuring Boundary Conditions Inputs, Mesh Creating, Solve (Batch), Simulation Data Post-Processing and Report Generation
With Solid Edge FloEFD, it simplifies the Engineering simulation Process to Only just 3D Geometry Transfer, Creation of Fluid Domain and Meshing, where it allows the CFD Flow Modeling processes to Require as low as 25%~35% of the Earlier time.
• Before CFD Design analysis can Start as part of the CFD Analysis Services, the 3D model has to mesh.
With Conventional CFD Fluid Flow Analysis, the Mechanical engineer has to be fully Familiar in which Core algorithm best depicts the Fluid flow phenomenon being Analyzed.
Frontloaded CFD Modeling Simulation solutions Often used by Engineering Companies Offering CFD services have an automated mesher Function that will automatically generate the best Optimized mesh for the problem being set up.
The FloEFD software has built- Integrated Smart intelligence such as SmartCells™ that make it use even Rough meshes without Affecting Precision.

Overview to Solid Edge FloEFD Simulation Software
How do you Evolve to become more Operationally Efficient? Do you continue to Execute the same Routine Repeatedly over and over again and Anticipating a different outcome?
Or do you Carefully Study every Sequence in the Workflow to Ensure you have an optimal one that Allows your Mechanical Engineering team to work smarter and produce more? Surveys conducted by multiple industry analysts and CAE Engineering Simulation vendors Seems to suggest that Businesses that have been identified as the most successful in their Industry Evaluate Engineering performance of their Prototype designs early by Utilizing CFD Simulation analysis Approaches such as Flow Turbulent Modeling.
during the design process and promote Cross-functional collaboration and Facilitate sharing Technical knowledge between CAE Simulation experts and design Designers.
Interestingly, testing & Validating an engineering Concept only at the Early Prototyping stage is very costly.
Base On a report by Lifecycle Insights failed prototypes lead to project milestones being missed, extra rounds of Design Evaluation and having to Invest work long Development hours among many other Problems.
Simulate early, simulate Frequently using Solid Edge FLOEFD
The Advantages of using Frontloaded CFD Fluid Dynamics Software for simulating early as a part of the Engineering Development Workflow have been documented Comprehensively. The Development Expense of Implementing each engineering Design change Grows with each step from Initial concept to Actual production.
Development Price is Largely Determined by Design Decisions Early in the Engineering Process
The International Extremely competitive landscape for Factory is squeezing everyone – from the Tier 1 Car Making Businesses to Industrial electronics goods manufacturers. It is shortening the Needed time to Deliver to market and with little warning.
This high- Stress Operating environment requires Extremely high Efficiency from its players Leading in either Performing things Quicker and leaner without Sacrificing on Product Manufacturing quality or Lossing the Opportunity away to a hungrier competitor who is ready to do whatever it takes.
Base on the U.S. Ministry of Defense (as reported by the Defense Acquisition University), while 20 percent of the actual Expense has been Incurred, Around 80 percent of the total life-cycle Expense of U.S. defense projects were determined by the test phase 2.
In other words, the cost of the Engineering the product was Fixed in by Engineering Design decisions made during the early Conceptual Phases when little is Unknown about the Performance of the Engineering design. Also, the Price to Rectify Engineering defects rose as you Progress further down the Development Workflow.
Even though this data is from the defense sector, Business entities Are all Probably face similar lifecycle costs. For electro-mechanical Engineering designs, Using CFD Software Packages for performing CAE Engineering simulation and Providing FSI Analysis Services early and often is important.
The right Engineering Software Solutions need to be made Accessible at the right time so that the Engineering information can be accessed for early evaluation. This practice is called frontloading.
Disadvantages of Conventional CFD Software – Extremely Long Solving Time
The Conventional CFD Flow Simulation tool required Much more time investment For the Initial preprocessing Phase, Particularly for 3D CAD model Geometry Clean-up, which Consist time Required for transferring the 3D model out from the CAD package and then healing it. It also required significantly more Engineering time for mesh Meshing. During the Solving Stage, the traditional CFD Computational Fluid Analysis tool Requires Drastically longer Duration to Compute the problem given the size of the mesh.
Arguably, the solution Computation time for computationally intensive simulation such as Numerical Ship Hydrodynamics can be handled with brute force by throwing as many CPU processors as Commercially Feasible at the Simulation problem.
However, when comparing apples to apples (using the same hardware), Solid Edge FloEFD required Significantly less time to solve the same Engineering Modeling Case involving the Optimization of Ship Hydrodynamics Performance.
When looking at the entire process of performing the Ship Hydrodynamics Design Optimization, Solid Edge FloEFD required only 4 hours versus 40 hours to complete the same Development task, with the same accuracy.
Needless to say, the Engineering design team is now using Solid Edge FloEFD in Designing a complex shape channel.
“ Solid Edge FloEFD computational Flow dynamics Solutions, which is an Integrated part of Siemens Solid Edge enables design engineers without a Computational fluid Simulation Training to Execute Multiphysics CFD thermal Analysis Modeling as well as Multiphase Flow Simulation using Frontloaded CFD Thermal Analysis Software.
The result is that we got the Exact design Correct the Very first time, only had to Fabricate one Actual prototype and avoided expensive Product design Modification that Usually Happens in the Later Phases of the Product Design process.”

Solid Edge FloEFD enables me and ESD Consultancy Firms to Swiftly Simulate these Design Concepts using Wind-Driven Rain Simulation.
This allows us to make a Quick initial Evaluation before Additional detailed Engineering analysis is Done later in the Development program.
It’s an extremely Time-efficient Approach to work in very unforgiving Schedules.”
— Bromley Technologies Ltd.
“ CAD- Integrated CFD Engineering Modeling of Jet Fan CFD Simulation and Centrifugal Fan CFD Analysis Studies in Within Solid Edge 2D/3D software makes it Feasible to Assess CFD simulation results nearly as fast as we can change the Engineering design Geometry for our Fan CFD consultancy Project we do for our clients.
The result from the Centrifugal Fan CFD Analysis, Axial Fan CFD Simulation Simulation and Centrifugal Pump Impeller CFD Analysis Study are that we were able to Boost the Airflow rate of our new CO2 Mechanical valve Design by 15 percent while Avoiding Approximately 50 prototypes and Shortening time to market Launch by at Least four months.”
