CFdesign For Autodesk Inventor

Continuously improved since 1992, CFdesign is the only fluid flow and heat transfer solution built on a comprehensive and scalable architecture that empowers engineering teams with intuitive tools to proactively address even the most challenging projects.

CAD Integration One modeling environment: Autodesk Inventor Autodesk Inventor mouse navigation controls Auto flow volume creation and void filling Auto assignment of boundary conditions and material properties Associativity includes part names, mesh size, and boundary conditions All the advantages of embedded simulation without the limitations Project Collaboration The CFdesign Communication Center and Report Generator are innovative 3D publishing tools allowing even non-technical members of the team (business/ product managers, marketing, legal, etc.) to interact with CFD results at their desktop. Flow and thermal loads are passed to Abaqus, ANSYS, COSMOS, Mechanica, and Nastran to aid better structural decisions. Design Review The Design Review Center is a 3D environment for apples-to-apples comparison of multiple designs. See the interrelationship between geometry, materials, and operating conditions upfront in the design process. The Design Review Server distributes the data visualization load across available networked computers so more designs can be effectively reviewed at your desktop.

Mesh Generation Auto assigns optimal mesh sizes Fully automated mesh generation Auto detection and adaptation for small features Convenient options to optimize mesh in narrow passages, thin regions, and areas with extreme aspect ratios Simulation Speed Extreme computational efficiency for desktop and network computing Automated Solution Center simplifies and accelerates solution process The new Accelerant™ Solver delivers solutions up to 20 times faster
