Mentor Graphics FloEFD 17

A range of new CFD simulation features in FloEVD v16 continue with the software’s aim of ‘frontloading’ analysis towards the start of the design process.Mentor Graphics, currently the subject of a mammoth $4.5 billion takeover by Siemens PLM, has added the industry’s first simulation solution for water vapor absorption alongside several other lighting related functionalities FloEVD can now simulate the sorption (when one substance permeates another) and desorption (changing from an adsorbed state to a gaseous or liquid state) processes.For example, plastic absorbs water and then releases it when environmental conditions change. This functionality is important for several key markets such as automotive lighting design where moisture needs to be minimised in light housings.Other automotive lighting related capabilities include radiation and spectrum for direction source modeling, and LED thermal-optical modeling to simulate LEDs with non-linear dependence of parameters on temperature.Elsewhere, the radiation modeling capability for FloEFD software has been further extended to include radiation pattern and spectrum definitions for directional sources.The LED thermal-optical model is now capable of simulating LEDs with non-linear dependency of parameters on temperature – ideal for automotive lighting design and simulation. “Our customers require fast and accurate simulation results for their complex engineering problems,” said Roland Feldhinkel, general manager of Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division. “Our latest FloEFD product provides the power, special functionality and performance required by engineers to obtain meaningful answers to their questions without disrupting their design process.”Related articles:

In-house facilities or using a service provider.When it comes to in house workflows, the new tools allow you to arrange your parts on a build platform or bed, define tessellation quality, do some scaling work.Solid Edge’s synchronous technology tools are already pretty sweet for pre-processing parts for 3D printing, particularly when it comes to splitting large parts for multiple builds (to split them up and add locating features) or adapting scaled down parts (where thin walls need to be addressed).The demo shown shows you connecting directly to you machine if you need to connect to your machine (assuming its on the list of machines supported) – the reality is that you’re going to load the resultant STL or 3MF file from Solid Edge and run it through your set-up software anyway.Perhaps more interestingly, as folks start to experiment with more exotic types of 3D print and additive manufacturing process, is Siemens’ tie up with 3freeyourmind.This connects Solid Edge to the company’s service provider quotation web service, so you can see potential costs for your parts in a range of materials and processes – you can order them directly through the service too.Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)Back in September last year, the Solid Edge team talked about an integration between its product and Mentor Graphics’ CFD group to bring that type of simulation to Solid Edge.The months in between has seen few changes and it now, with Siemens owning Mentor Graphics, the whole thing makes more sense.The add-on, FloEFD, lets users conduct fluid flow simulations within Solid Edge models – whether that’s internal fluid flow studies or more thermal planning studies around the interior of a product.The current release looks well thought out and brings a set of tools to Solid Edge that, with the acquisition, are only going to become more
