Siemens Digital Industries Software announces the latest release of its Simcenter FLOEFD software for NX series, a CAD-embedded computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool. The latest version offers new features that can improve accuracy and solve rates.
Simcenter FLOEFD 2020.2.2 v5244 for NX Release Highlights - Date: February 2021
New Features
The following new features are available in this release:
-Support of Siemens licensing.Simcenter FLOEFD for NX can use either of the licensing systems: MSL (Mentor Standard Licensing, daemon "mgcld") or Siemens PL licensing (CLT, Common License Toolkit, daemon "ugslmd"). By default Simcenter FLOEFD for NX products with NX part number (e.g. NX30561) is served with Siemens license and Simcenter FLOEFD for NX products with MG part numbers (e.g. MG249608FL) is served with Mentor license. The "Extended Design Exploration" module is currently only supported by MSL.
-NX value-based licensing.If Siemens licensing is used, Simcenter FLOEFD for NX supports NX value-based licensing, i.e. NX value-based tokens (nx_design_tokens).
-Product Excellence Program.The Product Excellence Program is a set of software analytics tools included with the installation of Simcenter FLOEFD for NX. These tools collect and analyze product usage and behavior patterns to aid in the design and improvement of FLOEFD. You can review and control your participation in the Product Excellence Program at any time.

FloEFD for NXis a powerful computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis tool that is embedded into Siemens NX. It enables design engineers to frontload CFD by moving simulation early into the design process where it is more cost effective to identify and fix problems.
Extend the power of Siemens NX to optimize product performance and reliability for fluid flow and heat transfer effects. With its unique combination of intuitive interface, and fast as well as accurate technology, Simcenter FLOEFD for NX can be inserted into your current design process without any disruption, streamlining your workflow and improving productivity by 40x.[
The award-winning Simcenter FLOEFD for NX frontloads computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation where it is faster and more cost-effective to evaluate your ideas. Gain insight into the real-life behavior of a wide range of fluids in even the most complex geometries. Evaluate the digital twin with the help of what-if testing and assess the results with the help of numerical values, graphs, images and animations. Use the power of Simcenter FLOEFD for NX with its direct interface to HEEDS Design Space Exploration software to select the most optimal choice.
When needed, Simcenter FLOEFD Flexx, enables you to access multiple CAD systems for simulation - useful for dealing with legacy data or using multiple CAD systems on the same project. With Simcenter FLOEFD for NX the power of CFD simulation is finally in your hands
