Concurrent CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)

See how Mentor Graphics CAD embedded CFD tool FloEFD, helps Engineers quickly overcome everyday design challenges associated with Mechanical Engineering Design projects.

Pressure Drop

Pressure DropMentor Graphics FloEFD software, has been specifically designed for the Design Engineer. It enables a user to quickly analyze pressure and a range of pressure-related parameters analyzing in detail why the flow of gas or liquid may be higher or lower than that allowed for by the technical specification. Pressure Drop

Heat Transfer

Heat TransferTemperature fields are often determined by a series of complex physical processes such as heat conduction, heat convection, conjugated heat transfer between fluids, surrounding solid materials, radiation and many more. Heat Transfer

Flow Fields

Flow FieldsIn the past, it would take highly skilled Design Engineers - with both expert knowledge and experience many man hours to understand the complexities of fluid flow behavior surrounding a design. See how concurrent FloEFD is changing this. Flow Fields

Mixing Processes

Mixing ProcessesThe mixing of fluids or gases can pose more questions than answers for a Design Team. Fluids and gases combine through a complex series of physical processes that may include multiple species transport, conjugated heat transfer. Mixing Processes

Force Prediction

Force PredictionConcurrent CFD software FloEFD, is the engineers ideal tool for analyzing reaction forces, including torque and pressure loads resulting from flow in or around a design. FloEFD can also predict aerodynamic coefficients, to help characterize the lift and drag performance of a design. Force Prediction
