FloEFD for Creo is a full-featured 3D fluid flow, heat transfer analysis package-totally integrated into PTC Creo (and Pro/ENGINEER). FloEFD is both fast to learn and fast to use because it doesn't come with the numerical complexity and meshing overheads of traditional high-end computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It is the only CFD analysis tool that is truly embedded into Creo Parametric.

Unlike other 3rd party CFD programs, FloEFD for Creo works directly with native Creo geometry - with no translation or copies - in order to keep pace with on-going design changes. FloEFD for Creo has the same "look and feel" so you can focus on solving your problem instead of learning a new environment.

By using the Creo geometry directly and solid model information such as features and parameters, you can simulate your designs in real-world conditions. Direct use of native geometry is an extremely powerful feature since it provides you with functionality that is not easily offered by other CFD programs. Because you're using the same exact geometry for CAD and analysis, you maintain one set of data across your product design process, and your analysis is always in tune with your design.

Simcenter FloEFDis a CFD-tool to simulate mainly flow and heat transfer, just like Simcenter STAR-CCM+, but the software is a frontloading CFD-tool created for design engineers without experience of CFD simulations. Simcenter FloEFD is available as a stand alone version, but it can also be used as a plug-in to a CAD-program. In the plug-in version you can easily change between editing the geometry in CAD and get quick feedback about how the geometry performs regarding to the flow and/or the heat transfer.

Simcenter FloEFD is a powerful and quick way of getting simulation results. The amount of settings needed to be defined are minimized to make it possible for a CAD engineer to evaluate the geometry before handing it over to the CFD engineer. By defining the physical problem, a goal which determines if the simulation is complete and setting rough mesh settings, the solution to the simulation is only one click away.
