EFD Generation 7 Overview.
The latest release of EFD.Lab, EFD.Pro and EFD.V5 features Expanded Simulation Capabilities.
The addition of new physical modeling capabilities will offer enhanced simulation of "reality".
For example, a new model considers valve or pump cavitation effects thus helping engineers to localise and eliminate this often unwanted phenomena earlier during the design cycle.
Also, a new compact model for thermoelectric coolers (TECs) helps to optimise sophisticated thermal management concepts for electronic designs efficiently.
Lastly, EFD offers a new model for considering humid air for simulating the temperature and humidity distribution in rooms.
This new feature will help engineers create designs that comply with building regulations as well as health and safety issues.
Improved Mesh Generation Technology Version 7.0 now offers an even more efficient Rectangular Adaptive Mesh technology.
The new algorithm meshes extremely complex CAD geometries involving a large number of very thin structures in a highly efficient way.
Using this technology, users can automatically mesh even the most complex CAD models on the desktop.
For instance, simulations in the areas of electronics cooling, heat exchangers or HVAC will experience a reduction in computation time by a factor of up to 10 using the new meshing technology.
Broadened Visualisation Capabilities.
The product family also features a new flexible tool to animate simulation results.
Cut plots, flow trajectories or Isosurfaces as well as CAD parts and assemblies can now be animated simultaneously and saved in an AVI format.
The programme arranges all object movements and positions of the virtual camera over a timeline.
The resulting animation can then be used to gain comprehensive insight into the model behavior and communicate design ideas.
In addition to the new capabilities, the EFD product family offers analysis of compressible and incompressible liquids and gases, laminar and turbulent flows, heat transfer and species transport for steady-state and transient flow regimes as well as numerous other sophisticated physical models.
The EFD product family can be used for the development and optimisation of various products such as automotive parts, computer housings, valves and regulators within a shorter time frame and with better quality.
The latest versions of EFD.Lab, EFD.V5 and EFD.Pro are available for immediate shipment.
