EFD.Pro-V8.2-For Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire by Flomerics

EFD.Pro is the only fully embedded Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool forPro/ENGINEER Wildfire. As a Pro/TOOLKIT application, EFD.Pro enables mechanical design engineers to analyze and optimize complex fluid flow and heat transfer effects on their designs directly inside Pro/ENGINEER.
Everyone is fully aware of how quickly you can conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with Pro/ENGINEER Mechanica; however, if your designs involve both fluid and thermal interaction, you may not have all the necessary information you need in order to set-up your model for analysis. These loads in most cases are due to complex thermal or fluid flow phenomena which you either do not have or may receive very late in the design process.

With EFD2MECH, an optional module for EFD.Pro, you now have the option to accurately investigate stresses and deformations due to flow and heat transfer induced loads at the push of a button. EFD2MECH significantly reduces the amount of time necessary for preparing analysis models by ensuring timely access to needed data. It should also be noted that with the addition of EFD2MECH, EFD.Pro does not replace Pro/ENGINEER Mechanica functionality but rather complements its current thermal analysis capabilities with advanced analyses such as radiation.

EFD.Pro has the same “look and feel” as Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire so you are not forced to learn a new interface simply to use the software. And unlike other CFD programs, EFD.Pro interacts directly with the native 3D CAD data defined by Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire – with no translation or copies - in order to keep pace with on-going design changes.

7 Key Technologies distinguish EFD.Pro from traditional CFD software, making it easier to use, more robust, and more accurate. Its sophisticated physical models can simulate a wide range of engineering tasks across a wide range of industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, industrial machinery and pumps/ valves.

EFD.Pro has been used by Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire users around the world to

Improve product performance, functionality and reliability
Reduce physical prototyping as well as production costs
Minimize risk of making design mistakes
In short, if you use Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, you ought to take a closer look at EFD.Pro – the only fluid flow and heat transfer simulation tool that fits into your design process without requiring you to change the way you design products.

Setting New Standards
For analysis to become an integral part of the design process, it must be not only easy to use but also adapt readily to your design process.

Because EFD.Pro is developed by engineers for engineers, it is perhaps the easiest-to-use CFD package commercially available today. Its interface is extremely intuitive and its powerful Wizard guides you through the analysis process. It also contains powerful functionalities to help streamline the analysis process. Once you have analyzed your problem, viewing the results is a matter of point-and-click: simply choose the appropriate options from a menu and the system will quickly generate your desired plots. You can even create and distribute your animated results and quickly generate reports in Microsoft ® Excel and Word including all your favorite plots.

But EFD.Pro takes ease-of-use one step further by fitting into your design environment effortlessly. As a Pro/TOOLKIT application, EFD.Pro sits inside Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire and has the same look and feel as Pro/ENGINEER. Therefore, you don’t need to learn a whole new interface just to use analysis. With EFD.Pro, you simply expand the range of Pro/ENGINEER capabilities to include analysis!

CR-5000 also supports design re-use, allowing engineers to utilize proven and tested logical circuits and layouts from previous projects again and again.


Schematic Design

CR-5000 System Designer significantly increases design productivity when creating today’s complex PCB designs by building in the information required in the PCB design process from the very start, for right-first-time design, every time. CR-5000 System Designer is at the core of the constraints-driven design process.

Constraints Management

The CR-5000 Constraint Manager provides a fully integrated, constraints-driven design methodology to meet high-speed performance or explosion protection requirements, reducing design costs and time-to-market by eliminating unnecessary prototypes and re-engineering cycles. It provides an easy-to-use spread-sheet-like GUI with cross-probing to schematics and layout.

Parallel System Design & Analysis

CR-5000 Lightning enables circuit timing and signal integrity simulation from the System Designer schematic. Additionally, a wide range of analog, digital, mixed-signal, and multi-technology simulators interface directly with System Designer, for example HSpice, PSpice, ADS, Active-HDL, ModelSim or Saber, supporting the co-simulation of analog and digital functional blocks and programmable devices.

Concurrent FPGA & PCB Design

CR-5000 provides a fast and efficient solution for I/O synchronization between FPGA devices and the PCB board, enabling top-down concurrent design of FPGAs and the PCB, reducing the design cycle time and optimizing system performance. CR-5000 interfaces directly with state-of-the-art FPGA design tools from Altera, Xilinx, or Lattice.

Additional modules simulate reactive molding processes including thermoset and rubber injection molding, reaction injection molding (RIM), structural reaction injection molding (SRIM), resin transfer molding, microchip encapsulation and Underfill (flip-chip) encapsulation.

The World's Best 3D Solution
Using a proven solution technique based on a solid tetrahedral finite element volume mesh, MPI/3D allows you to perform true 3-dimensional flow simulations on parts that tend to be very thick and solid in nature as well as those that have extreme changes from thin to thick.

The Widest Range of Supported Geometry Types
Moldflow's MPI technology can be used on all CAD model geometry types, including traditional midplane models, wire frame and surface models, thin-walled solids and thick or difficult-to-midplane solids. Regardless of your design geometry, you can accomplish simulation tasks in an easy-to-use, consistent, integrated environment that works with your model.

ADINA -V8.5


The ADINA System offers a one-system program for comprehensive finite element analyses of structures, fluids, and fluid flows with structural interactions.
Click on the link to view or download the overview of the capabilities in the ADINA System in PDF format.

With the ADINA System, there is no need to use one finite element program for linear static and dynamic structural analysis, another program for nonlinear structural analysis, and yet another finite volume based program for fluid flow analysis. Furthermore, the ADINA System is the leading program for fully coupled analysis of fluid flow with structural interactions (multiphysics).

The ADINA System consists of the following modules:

ADINA-AUI The ADINA User Interface program (AUI) provides complete pre- and post-processing capabilities for all the ADINA solution programs.
ADINA-M The ADINA Modeler (ADINA-M) is an add-on module to ADINA-AUI that provides solid modeling capabilities and direct integration with all other Parasolid-based CAD systems.
ADINA The premium finite element program for linear and highly nonlinear analyses of solids and structures.
ADINA-F CFD program for the analysis of compressible and incompressible flow with state-of-the-art capabilities for moving boundaries and automatic remeshing.
ADINA-T Module for the heat transfer analysis of solids and field problems.
ADINA-FSI The ADINA-FSI (fluid structure interaction) program is the leading code used by industries for fully coupled analysis of fluid flow with structural interaction problems. This module is available to users who license both the ADINA and ADINA-F modules.
ADINA-TMC This module provides capabilities for thermo-mechanical coupled (TMC) analysis, including analysis of contact with heat transfer. By licensing both the ADINA and ADINA-T modules, the user automatically has access to this module.
CAD Interfaces Through ADINA-M, users can directly import Parasolid-based (e.g., Unigraphics, SolidWorks, and SolidEdge) CAD geometry. We also provide interface programs to major systems such as
I-DEAS and MSC.Patran. Where a direct interface is currently not available (e.g., CATIA), the geometry can be imported via our IGES interface.
