Why Simcenter Flow Simulator?

System-level design has become increasingly critical as organizations are tasked with simulating complex duty cycles. Fast software solutions like Flow Simulator are needed to model entire systems.

Take advantage of rapid iteration concept modeling to understand system behavior in applications such as rotating machinery design, electromobility, wind turbines, heat exchangers and virtually anything that encompasses thermal management.

Develop turbomachinery engines

An intuitive GUI and a thoroughly validated element library help engineering teams work more efficiently, reducing development time while improving confidence in system-level performance.

Integrate thermo-fluid system design studies

The software enables engineers to apply a multi-disciplinary, multi-physics and mixed-fidelity approach from modeling to post-processing without ever leaving their familiar environment.

Rely on accurate network modeling

Quickly and accurately evaluate design alternatives and product variants through the CAD integrated modeling environment that supports several analysis types.

Featured capabilities

Model coupled flow and thermal networks

Use an extended library of preconfigured elements and components. The library includes a large set of publicly available experimental data for pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics and is fully coupled to the thermal and heat transfer solver for steady-state and transient analyses.
