AnJen Solutions recently used Flomerics’ FLOTHERM computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to assist MagneMotion, Inc. in their design of a vertical lift elevator made of linear synchronous motors (LSM).

Flomerics has reacted to the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile’s (FIA’s) recent announcement of restrictions on the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis software by suggesting that these restrictions might actually increase the use of more efficient CFD tools that automate most of the modeling process. “We believe that the FIA’s limitation on CFD and wind tunnel testing will accelerate the trend towards use of CFD ...

CH2M HILL engineers used Flomerics’ Flovent computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to simulate predicted thermal loads that will be generated by the IBM Roadrunner machine. Roadrunner is projected to be in the top 10 on the HPC Top 500 list and will be installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Nicholas Metropolis Center. By regularly modeling the facility, CH2M engineers have helped the DOE stay one step ahead of the continuously inc...

Thales missile electronics facility in Basingstoke has chosen Flomerics’ EFD.Pro, the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire-embedded engineering fluid dynamics software. EFD.Pro will be used to analyze complex defense electronics cooling problems at the front end of the design process. “As an engineer, I am concerned about solving problems in the shortest possible timeframe. Flomerics technology helps us in achieving this,” said Mark Pashley, principal mec...

Bronswerk Heat Transfer BV has expanded use of Flomerics’ EFD.Pro from strictly research and development to everyday engineering design. EFD.Pro is the world’s leading Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire-embedded Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software tool and is used by design engineers interested in understanding flow and heat transfer in their products.

Finland-based sail maker WB-Sails is using EFD.Lab fluid dynamics simulation software from Flomerics to develop and optimize sails for Star and Finn class Olympic sailboats. “Our traditional panel codes predict sail forces reasonably well in the upwind case, when flow separation is not a major factor, but we were desperate for something more powerful to predict 3D air flow and sail forces on downwind legs and in the lighter winds that we expect...

Graco engineers used FloEFD computational fluid dynamics software from the Mechanical Analysis group of Mentor Graphics Corporation to optimize the design of a new plural component spray gun in 1/3 the time that would have been required to produce an acceptable but not optimized design using the trial and error method. “The use of software prototypes made it possible to explore a much wider design space than would have been possible with physic...

Azonix used FloEFD software from the Mentor Graphics Corporation Mechanical Analysis Division (formerly Flomerics) to reduce the number of thermal prototypes required from up to 12 to 1 on its new Terra embedded computer. “FloEFD computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software enables design engineers without a fluid analysis background to perform thermal simulation,” said James Young, Design Engineer for Azonix. “The result is that we got the ...

Industrial visualization is in a state of change. Now, industrial user interfaces take on inspiration from consumer-oriented products like personal computers, mobile phones, MP3 players, etc. with advanced 3D-style graphics, icon based navigation and controls. However, impressive user interfaces have a wider perspective reaching beyond the good looks. They motivate users and operators to interact with the working environment in a positive way. Th...

The new FTS fibre optic displacement sensors are designed for flight test applications. Weighing just 175 grams, the sensor electronics feature a 25 x 50 x 75 mm enclosure with MIL-DTL-83513 Micro-D connector for power and output signals.
