CFD works with CAD
FloWizard 3.0 CFD software works with NX, SolidWorks, and Pro/Engineer, with the Pro/E and NX connections now providing associativity between CAD and CFD.
Users can set
up and perform FloWizard calculations
for Pro/E or NX models, make
parametric changes in Pro/E or NX,
then update the CFD models with
the modified CAD models. For HVAC
simulations, FloWizard adds models
for fans and vents placed at inlets,
outlets, and inside the flow domain.
The models improve the analysis of
room ventilation and automotive climate-
control systems. And cylindrical
porous-media models improve
performance predictions for catalytic
converters. Also, radiation models
improve heat-transfer analysis for
electronics cooling and power-industry
applications.
